We had a really great time! Everything was well organised. Check out Cyrille’s three-day Amazon rainforest adventure  

Thank you for a Great Trip!

Just a thank you for the great trip we had on the trail, with Jimmy and in the rainforest with Pepe, plus a special thanks for sorting the flight issues we had, getting out of Puerto Maldonado as we had two flights cancelled. Check out Bob’s adventure through the Amazon to Machu Picchu and see for yourself why he loved it so much.

Vernon Cowdy

I just wanted to tell you that from my point of view the WWW trip was absolutely excellent  In addition I have to say that I was impressed by the standard of  care and attention to detail I was in my element as far as the environment was concerned, and can hardly believe that I caught sight of a jaguar as well as getting long video footage of a tapir and on another day a spider monkey. Our guides did everything possible to make the venture a success, and what I relished was the response to my enthusiasm which was to be part of it rather than just tolerate it. Had the trip been too comfortable and cossetted I would have felt cheated.  The combination of the atmosphere of adventuring with close proximity to nature was an ideal blend. Our team of travel experts created Vernon’s own personalized adventure through the Amazon according to his preferences. If you would like to do the same, get in contact with one of our experts, and see what we can create for you.
