My photos are from a night walk through the jungle, a visit to a local community, and a visit to a local animal reserve. They also offered us the option of doing an Ayahuasca ceremony which a few of us partook of and they took very good care of us and guided us through that rather intense but positive experience. I highly recommend this tour with this organization.”

“The lodge was in terrible condition. Our bathroom was dirty, and although a cleaner came daily to make the bed, they never actually cleaned the room. The pool smelled awful and was completely green — clearly neglected. The room also had numerous spider webs, which only added to the overall lack of cleanliness. To make matters worse, we later discovered that we paid double the price compared to another couple who booked offline at a local store — a frustrating revelation given the poor quality of the experience. The guide was able to help us spot animals, but offered very little information about the Amazon unless we asked specific questions.…”

“We had an incredible time with the Maniti tour group. Our tour guide, Alfredo, was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. He had many insights about everything we visited and we got to see the Amazon rainforest through the eyes of a local because of him - he really felt more like a friend than a tour guide. Everything was very well planned out and easy to navigate. We left our suitcases at the pickup point, rode mototaxis to the port, then took a boat to the lodges. All the meals they made for us we're incredible, as well as all the hikes and wildlife we saw. Monkey…”
