Amazing I wanted to experience the jungle. No airconditioned room or seeing from a safe distance sort of thing. I were searching for an adventure - one with connection to the jungle and with the local people. If that is what you are looking for, then this is your team. The guide Ricky is super friendly and helpful the whole stay in Iquitos even after the tour has ended

It was incredible! From the bottom of my heart I say THANK YOU for this indescribably great week in Iquitos! It was the best decision to choose you as my guide. I was very selective and did a lot of research. I didn't want a "classic tourist tour". The contact was super professional right from the start. Ricky was a wonderful guide at all times. I have carried wonderful experiences with me ever since! I felt very comfortable as a woman traveling alone! Hairo our boatman and Ricky really went out of their way to make me happy every day. They are so lovely and funny. I will carry this time with me all my life, it was very special! I wish you all the very best! 1000% recommendation for this company. I miss the Amazonas Camp and ricky's cooking skills <3

Amazing Amazon experience! Our Amazon adventure with Amazon Jungle Survival tours was amazing! Ricky, our guide, was really knowledgeable and helpful. The range of activities we did was impressive - from observing various birds, caymans, turtles, sloths, and monkeys in their natural habitat, to hands-on experiences like building shelters, rafts and setting animal traps. We also fished and camped in the jungle, which was a unique experience. For anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Amazon adventure, I highly recommend this trip!

Awesome Adventure We booked a trip of 4 days and 3 nights with Edgar‘s team. We asked him to organise diffrent activities from our desire. Boat/Fishing/Hiking/ Nocturne Jungle walk! Edgar coordinated that perfectly. The lodge where we have been is in a really nice area lots of birds, monkeys, kayman and a other typs of animals … We were really lucky to see snakes too. The lodge was very clean and compfortable almost without moskitos which was nice to have after beeing bitten a lot in the Jungle which is normal. Ricky and Jairo our Tourguides were awesome with great skills they know a lot about the Jungle and they told some really funny stories about it. Beatrice which was our Chef made us delisciouse food. We highliy recommend Edgar and his Staff to vist the Jungle arround Iquitos. Check out their website

This is the Place My girlfriend and I wanted to experience the jungle. No airconditioned room or seeing from a safe distance sort of thing. We were searching for an adventure - one with connection to the jungle and with the local people. If that is what you are looking for, then this is your team. The lodge is small and simple. It is owned and run completely by the local community. Describing each detail of our experience is futile - it will suffice to say that as much as we experienced, the jungle is not finished with us. Her voice still reaches my ear, and we are planning our return. Shout out to Ricky as our guide. With him, everything is possible!

An amazing experience with Edgar We've been with Edgar for some days and the experience was amazing. Edgar made us discover the Amazon with passion and respect. Every day was a new adventure on the program: monkeys, dolphins, tarantulas, caimans and many other things. An experience we will never forget, thank you Edgar for being our guide !

Experience of a Lifetime What can I say other than "fantastic"? Edgar went above and beyond as a guide, he is a complete professional showing off his intimate knowledge of the rainforest, while also being a perfect travel companion. While exploring the rainforest with Edgar we saw more animals, plants, and fungi than I could have expected (the highlights were: River dolphins, howler monkeys, dragonfish, millipedes, and even a sloth mere meters away)! We had an amazing trip with Edgar, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a guide.

Incredible in all ways. Going into the Amazon is one of my all-time favorite travel experiences. This isn’t some touristy gimmick, it’s the real deal! We got to get deep into the actual Amazon, where there is far more wildlife than humans. It was very apparent we were the visitors, everything is filled with life. I saw pigmy monkey, huge caiman, pink dolphin, and even an electric eel! Truly incredible. Edgar is an amazing guide, who grew up in the Amazon, and know everything about the plants and animals. I couldn’t have noticed 99% of the animals, but he knows exactly how to see them and find them. We also got to interact with his tribe who lives there, I learned so much. Truly incredible, don’t even wait, you need to do this.

Excellent tour of the Amazon with the best guide! Had such a great time exploring the Amazon river and its tributaries. Saw a ton of wildlife from caiman, sloths, river dolphins, capybaras, to tons of different birds including prehistoric birds and macaws! It was just an amazing trip and Edgar was really the most critical part of it. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the jungle from tracking animals and telling about their behaviors, to describing traditional health properties of plants and vines. He is a survival expert in his element in the jungle and it really shows. He was always looking for cool and exciting things to show us and tell us about. He is really a caring guy and wants his guests to experience as much as possible. Could not recommend Edgar enough! Booking here on trip advisors doesn't seem to work... The best way to get in touch is his website (amazonjunglesurvival.tours) or on Instagram (amazon.jungle.survival).
