Tripadvisor review: 4-day Amazon and Andes
The entire experience was amazing and way beyond expectations. Our trip was arranged and guided by Eduardo. His planning skills, attention to details of the itinerary and attention to our needs was unequaled. We spent 4 days crossing the Andes, and traveling through the Amazon by personal car and staying in a jungle lodge. I had been concerned about being with a stranger in such closed spaces. Eduardo was very friendly and professional; pleasantly conversational and passionate about his country - both the people and nature. And he was an expert in all of it. Eduardo is also a passionate birder; so his knowledge of the birds of the region runs very deep. He was always ready to alter plans to make our trip more of what we wanted as well. Eduardo was really the kind of guy you would just want to spend some time with anywhere. And it was obvious his contacts throughout the region feel the same way, which makes all the difference in getting the extra special care you would hope for.
