This was the experience of a lifetime. I went with 2 friends on the 3 day 2 night Pacaya Samira Preserve excursion and I can't recommend it enough. All three of us wish we could've stayed longer. We were grouped with 5 other travelers (total group was only 8) and really enjoyed getting to know them as well. Our guide William was incredible and made sure we knew what to expect at every turn. Our local guide Robert was also amazing and they were each so good at spotting the wildlife and helping us see it as well. Just being out on the river so frequently was incredible (especially at night with the stars!!) and our jungle walks were very cool and educational. The food was delicious and they were very conscientious about any dietary needs. The lodge was very nice, and I was very impressed by our campsite and camping gear as well. It was not difficult to keep the bugs out of our nets or tents, and when we were out and about, our guides were great at making sure we knew what insects/wildlife needed a wide berth to keep us safe. I would love to go back, and will recommend this to all my friends.

We booked a 9 day trip to El dorado lake. The experience was fantastic. They brought in a boat operator, a cook (both local from the villages that run down the amazon) and a very experienced and motivated guide. They brought everything to make you feel comfortable with very varied food, taking care of the specifics of your diet beforehand and a plethora of local vegetables and food.
The guide, Lisser Emanuell Tananta was very knowledgeable of the local area, and of all of the fauna. He promotes respect for the local fauna too, trying to not disrupt the ecosystem at all.
He took us on day and night hikes adapting the schedule to better fit our type of trip (we wanted to maximize chances of wildlife photography). His guiding was based on the smell, sounds and footprints that he found on different spots along each of our campsites and paths within the amazon.
Some parts of the river were more complicated to traverse by boat during the summer, so they explained the risks beforehand, and they did their best efforts, and tried to amend the changes in itinerary with other hikes and other campsites. They really care about the tourist experience from the first moment that we met in the hotel for pickup.
We totally recommend this tour agency, and specially recommend this guide.

Thanks so much for writing in such detail about your experience going into El Dorado lake, in the deepness of Pacaya Samiria. We couldn't be happier with what you write as it portrays what's important for us: To deliver an authentic and safe experience while also considering the surrounding environment by being respectful to nature. We are glad you enjoyed how the trip was organized, the food, and of course looking for wildlife in Pacaya Samiria.

We had so much fun with our guides, Ricky & Augusto. We saw snakes, pink dolphins, birds, wild monkeys, tarantulas, tree frogs, and incredible insects. We got to spend time in different villages and the human interaction was a real highlight for me. The amount of organization required to make this tour happen is actually kind of astounding, so I was happy to pay the asking price. It’s not just boat rides and lodging. It’s boat rides and then hiking to a swamp to find another boat that the guide then pilots. Pink dolphins at sunrise before the other groups get there and the light catches them in a warmer glow. Adapting so we could camp for one and eat breakfast with a local family. Those little things matter. The Lodge was cozy enough and the food was always good. I thought four days in the Amazon would feel very long but it actually went by so fast. We also did walks & canoe rides at night, getting to see all the incredible nocturnal life.

Ricky & Augusto made us feel safe and taken care of. I fully recommend them and hope one day I can return for a tour of the reserve with them.

We did 4 days 3 nights Amazon lodge experience and I would highly recommend this company. Everyting was well organized and our guide Anthony was the best. He speaks very good English and has extensive knowledge about the jungle, animals and plants. He really loves his job. Accomodation in the jungle lodge was better than expected - private room, shower, room was cleaned every day. Only one thing - there is no hot water in the shower but that's ok since temperatures are very high. However, the owner of the lodge was very weird, the guy believes that Earth is flat and all other conspiracy theories... :) Food was delicious, one of the best we had during our full month Peru trip. Amazon jungle is a must see while travelling in Peru! Although, if you wish to see more jungle animals, you should choose a further place, since this lodge is only 40 km away from Iquitos, so very close to the city.

Amazing experience! The 4 day camping trip is highly recommendable for anyone wanting to feel and experience the true wilderness of the Amazon primary forest. Our guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and made sure that the trips itinerary was customized to our liking. Both Jean Pierre (JP) and Anthony were incredibly friendly, and really made us feel welcome and comfortable in their element. Highly recommend opting for a long hike in the forest, and for the love of god, bring mosquito repellent!

Myself and the others in our group had such an amazing time doing the 4 day/3 night trip. Big shout out to Jean Pierre for being such a passionate and fun guide, we felt super safe with him even when spotting super poisonous coral snakes. The food in the lodge was super delicious and everything felt well organised and well considered. This whole experience was a trip of a lifetime and myself and the others in my grip felt incredibly lucky that we got to see life in a typical Amazon village in addition to night wildlife walks, visiting monkey shelters and bathing in the Amazon with free mud masks. 100%%% would recommend this to tour and a big big thank you to JP and the other staff for making it such an incredible experience for us.

A brilliant tour, Augusto was a great guide and made the experience unforgettable. In the time we were there we packed in so much, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get a taste for the Amazon from a cultural and ecological perspective. From swimming in the river to watching pink dolphins and visiting local indigenous communities it was a great.

We had a fantastic adventure with Amazon Experience. My family of 5 (two adults and 3 teenagers) as well as my 73 year-old father spent 3 nights & 4 Days in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Fantastic way to see and adventure in a very remote area of the Amazon Jungle. Frank was so knowledgeable and personable and very dedicated to making our experience the best possible. Our two favorites were the many pink river dolphins we saw and tracking the howler monkeys to get close enough to see what makes that impressive sound. It is a lot of time in a boat, but isn't that the best way to see the Amazon jungle? Food was authentic. We ate what locals eat. Nothing fancy, but tasty. The village accommodations were simple but very adequate. Camping on the banks of the river was great... sleeping pads aren't what you would get in the Marriott, but it was camping after all!

Overall, we all would highly recommend Amazon Experience and especially our trusty guide, Frank.

An amazing experience, truly! My wife and I spent one night at the Amazon lodge around 30 km down river from Iquitos. Our tour guide, Antonio D'La Silva or Anthony of the Jungle was a terrific English speaking guide. He was at our hotel on time the day the tour started and was professional and courteous. We called him the dolphin whisperer because he seemingly conjured up Amazon River Dolphins on two separate occasions for our group, which was the highlight of this tour. Antonio has a vast and intimate knowledge of this area and the animals and plants that live within it. He is a very personable and funny guy. Also, the monkeys on monkey island were another highlight. The monkeys were so cute and playful. Watch your water bottles though, the capuchins are clever enough to open them. Lastly, watching sunrises and sunsets over this beautiful portion of the Amazon is something to behold. My wife and I strongly recommend using this company for your Amazon and Antonio D'La Silva as your English or Spanish speaking guide.

I had to reschedule this trip due to Perú's lockdown in Feb 2021. It was easy to schedule the new date with Wolfers via WhatsApp. We landed first thing in the morning from Lima and Wolfers had a driver pick us up from IQT airport. We arrived early to the office so we had time to get something to eat and head back to the office to start our tour. We did the 2N 3D Amazon Lodge. I must say monkey island was the highlight of the trip! I am an animal lover and to have them up close and personal grabbing your arm jumping on your back it was an amazing experience. The lodge we stayed at was pretty big & had a main eating hall where we spent most of our time when we weren't out on an adventure. They had beer & Coca-Cola for sale so that was a plus for me. The food and juices that were freshly prepared each day was delicious! Our tour guide made sure we learned about the different trees, animals, and insects. He was great and made it fun! Swimming in the Amazon River and piranha fishing was pretty cool. Meeting the Yahua tribe and the experience was another highlight of the trip!
