The organization was good. Lodge is simple but clean. I liked the focus on the local community, it feels authentic not like a tourist trap. Bring a good flashlight for the night walk, the ones they give you are okay but not very strong.

ESTÁ IMPRESIONANTE!!! Neta tienen que ir. Los monos se te suben a la cabeza en la isla jajaja me dio un buen de miedo al principio pero guia Rodrigo nos ayudo a que bajaran con cuidado. El lodge está súper bonito y desconectado de todo, literal cero señal de cel. Lleven ropa fresca porque se suda la gota gorda.

Excelente viaje al Amazonas. Fuimos con mi señora por nuestro aniversario. La atencion de Matias fue de primer nivel, siempre atento a todo… Tuvimos un problema con la ducha de la cabaña el primer dia (salia solo un hilito de agua), pero hablamos con él y nos cambiaron a la cabaña de al lado en menos de 10 minutos. Pescar pirañas fue muy entretenido, no pensé que fuera tan fácil. La comida muy abundante y rica. Saludos desde Córdoba.
