Book this tour! Great value for the money! I had so many questions as our trip approached and didnāt need to worry. Stay at Hacienda Concepcion and get a bungalow; amazing! Alexandra was at airport to transport us; took 1 hour by van and another 1/2 hour by motorized long boat. I was worried they would weigh our bags but we were well under the 10kg for our 2 week Peruvian trip. After checking in they showed us to our amazing bungalow!!! I read nasty remarks about showers and electricity disregard!!! I only took cold and the husband had no problems with hot water. The electricity goes off from 2:30-5:30pm to help conserve resources in the rainforest no issues as you are busy with activities! If flying from USA you will arrive around 11am with nap time, lunch and first excursion 2pm. This is a very well run organization!!! The excursion are a blast; night walks through jungle, lake Sandoval is teaming with monkeys, birds and caimen. Canopy walk included 7 bridges and our group ranged from 30-75 yo and all did great! Freddie was the best guide!!! Patient, knowledgeable and loves his job and has a booming voice so you can hear. Food was amazing and staff very attentive! You have breakfast starting at 5:30am for early morning tour and you will appreciate it being early, lunch, tea time, happy hour and dinner; you will not starve! The motorized long boats are your taxis; on time and very helpful getting us in and out of boats. I use a CPAP machine and they were able to hook it up to a battery during the night. Housekeeping did a great job too! If the Amazon and rainforest are on your bucket list; this is a MUST! Mosquitoes eat my husband alive so we planned with Deet wipes and I sprayed our old, holy shirts with Permethrin and thru out when we left rainforest. You donāt need heavy boots or Keens my waterproof Vessiās were light and easy and they have foliages when it pours. Also each person has a flashlight to use, and aluminum water bottles you get to keep. You fill your bottles up in the Eco Center so easy to hydrate. This is one tour you will always remember; and you can be in humidity for 2 1/2 days! Just go!!!
