We had an incredible trip to the Amazon! Carl created the perfect itinerary for us that incorporated everything we wanted to experience, including hikes, camping, and boating on the river. He was very professional and organized, while also adapting to what we wanted out of our trip. Alex was our local guide and he is AMAZING! He knows everyone around town and was full of interesting information about the plants and animals in the jungle. He always has a smile on his face and really made our experience special with his positive attitude.
