Great value for money - We did a walk through jungle to a waterfall and swimming area, then took a canoe ride down some mild rapids. Indigious people village was very interesting. Lunch was as expected a typical Ecuadorian meal with soup then beef or chicken, rice lentils, and fried plantains. The driver/guide Pablo was a good driver and spoke good English. Overall good day and we are in our 70s. 6 people in bus all got on well. Never felt pressure to buy anything or walk too much. Overall it was a great price and experience.

Action packed activities - It was packed with many great activities from a beautiful hike in the jungle to a gorgeous waterfall. We got to see how chocolate was made. We got to swing on a beautiful swing over the trees and also go on a very fun canoe ride.

An unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations! - We did the tour to the Puyo jungle in one day and it was an exceptional experience. From the beginning, the team of guides demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local flora and fauna, sharing fascinating facts every step of the way. The jungle tour immersed us in a world of astonishing biodiversity, with stops to admire impressive waterfalls and spot unique species of birds. The traditional lunch we enjoyed was authentic and delicious, providing a perfect touch to the experience. The guides were professional and friendly, always happy to answer questions and make sure each participant felt comfortable. The organization of the tour was impeccable, and the day was full of exciting adventures. I would recommend this tour to any nature lover looking for an authentic connection to the Amazon rainforest. An unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations!

Our favourite part of our South America trip - Hands down the best experience of our entire South Amercian trip. Being in the Amazon was surreal. The views were unbelievable. This tour has everything included. We went on the day that had a lot of rain in the beginning, so we missed the views at the first location (sad but we quickly forgot about it because of the amazing things that followed). It cleared up by midday. Make sure you go on a day with clear skies because the views you'll see in the afternoon are next to none.

The surprising thing is to make your own chocolate. - Very good work team from the transportation to the guides, they picked us up from our hotel, we traveled around 40 minutes to the first viewpoint and we were able to have breakfast there, we took some photos and then traveled to the jungle, the waterfall experience was really good, its crystal clear waters They gave me a lot of confidence, we took a refreshing bath, then we had lunch, a great, very complete menu, then we went in a canoe on the river to visit the indigenous community in the afternoon, we danced and lived with the family. In the end, we arrived at the chocolate family. The surprising thing is to do your own chocolate the best thanks for a good tour.

We loved living in the jungle.. - We took advantage of the promotional price to visit the jungle with my friends. When we saw the itinerary, we were very excited because it included transportation, food and the guides, which are very important to understand the place we visited. For the tour, they picked us up at our hostel. on time, personally we loved the waterfall. We never had the opportunity to bathe in a waterfall in the middle of the jungle. It was crazy. Another place was to visit the family and make the chocolate. We loved being able to spend a short time in the jungle. It was very good. experience I highly recommend..
