From the moment we got picked up at our hotel to when we got dropped off this trip was amazing. Amazon Amazing Tours is an efficient and friendly group of people. All our questions were answered, Leonardo sent regular texts with updates as to pickup times and place, and who the driver would be. The trip itself was magical. We had a small boat with 7 passengers only, sailing down a small tributary where we could get close up views of the flora and fauna. We saw harpy eagles, sloths hanging from trees, we fed bananas to squirrel monkeys (one of them sat on a man's head while grabbing the banana from him and eating it!), and we caught piranhas and were taught how to get the hooks off and throw them back in the water safely. Our jungle walk was so interesting, especially learning about the medicinal properties of the plants, and seeing the huge Samauma tree. We also had a lovely grilled fish lunch at a home on the river where we saw a toucan in the trees. It was during a brief rain shower but we sat outside under a roof so we got to watch the rain and get a feel for the season. Francisco was an entertaining driver who maneuvered traffic in a timely manner and everyone connected with this tour was determined to make this a memorable experience for us. My husband and I highly recommend Amazon Amazing Tours. Kudos to Leonardo and his five-star group! We liked it so much that we want to visit more of the Amazon.
