Best tour ever! I totally recommend. They people are super nice and you see many animals. I fell in love with a lil monkey and can’t wait to come back and go again!

I'm a Chinese who worked at Lima in the past eight years. Ultimately, I will have to say goodbye to this beloved country. Before leaving, the Peruvian Amazon jungle is the last item on my wish list. Mr Orlando Cueva and his company kindly helped my trip come true. Actually several days before the departure, we had some problems which led to the tour somehow uncertain. With great dedication and efforts, finally he made this extraordinary expedition happened. In this 8d/7n Pacaya Samiria tour, I had unique and exclusive experience. I saw at least 3 kinds of monkeys, both kinds of dolphins, giant python, 3-toes sloths, river otters, caimans and many different species of birds. The most unbelievable scenes were thousands of Great Egrets and American Cormorants flying in front of our boats in the whole days of the 3rd and 4th day of our trip. In the end, I would like to appreciate the expertise of my guide "Lobo" and the boat man also chef Ricardo who made camps, open paths in the jungle captured fishes from rivers and lakes. 最后，建议对亚马逊雨林感兴趣的中国同胞们充分评估自己的时间，Pacaya Samiria深度体验至少需要一周左右的时间。旅行虽然精彩，也要考虑自己身体条件。另外，可以准备些适合自己口味的即食食品或者方便面。推荐携带好的望远镜和长焦镜头，能够更充分享受千姿百态的野生动物。

Orlando is nice and helpful, the tour seems cooperate with other company, but the tour is good in everything! Thanks for Orlando arrangement. Recommend!

Amazing experience! Living with families who were born in the national park. A real local experience, far away from a random tourism tour. I had the most special experience in my life. Bathing in the river, fishing Piranhas. Camping close to Aligators. Nightwalks in the Jungle. Local food. 4 days in spanish and even for me with a spanish Level A2 it was possible to understand a lot. Everything was just amazing.

This guy overcharges and is not trustworthy. I booked “my amazon lodge” through him and got charged 250 soles. Everyone else that went through a different agency paid less than 200. I got swindled into booking for 7 days. I told him I didn’t have that much money and would need to go to the bank, he literally walked me to the bank I guess to make sure I would come back, but it made me feel uncomfortable and pressured. When we got there it was nothing like he said, it wasn’t nice and there wasn’t anything to do, we wanted to come back the next day but our guide guilted us into staying until the next day. When I came back he refused to give me my money back for the days that I didn’t spend there. There was no way they used any of our money on us because everything was so cheap. The food was rice, beans, and chicken, you can get that anywhere for less than 10 soles so I don’t see why I couldn’t get my money back. I spent 4,400 soles for two people for 7 days, and I only spent 3 days there so really he owes me 2,430, not taking away the extra 300 I got charged while most people paid less than 200s/ day. That’s like $740 dollars that I should be getting back. Even though I deserve to have it all back because it was not what I was made to believe I was paying for. If you want to go to one of these lodges, definitely book with someone else because this guy is not trustworthy! The one I stayed at was “my amazon lodge” but I recommend only trying it for one day first and if you like it you can stay longer, they are not organized at all. But don’t give them your money in advance because you might not get it back. I showed up afterwards at his amazon ventures location and after arguing for a while I only got 400 soles back which is nothing compared to what I paid.

Everything was perfect. Orlando was super helpful and on time. All the people working in the tour was very professional and kind. 100% recommend it!!

The full day was amazing, you can in touch with the nature.the best part of the trip was when de monkeys came into the boat to eat the fruit that we had.

Last year we (four friends) did a four day tour inside the Amazone reserve park with our two guides Carlos and Estéban and it was amazing. We did a lot of research before choosing this operator and we were very happy with our choice. The tour was very well arranged for a good price. But our two tour guides were the best we could ever wish for. We saw so many animals, and it was really cool to see how well they knew the environment. They did their very best to make sure we enjoyed every moment of it. Also it should be mentioned that they were good cooks. Make sure to pack long clothes though as the mosquitoes will not leave you alone. Thanks again Carlos and Estéban!

I did the 5 days / 4 nights Pacaria Samiria. Like a lot of people, i was told I would get an English spoken guide but only had it after 2,5 days of my trip. The Spanish guide was very sweet, trying to make himself understand but ... I asked for an English guide. Orlando told me he would be there but never saw him again. There a lot of companies which offer the jungle trips but they all send the people to the same places, to do the same visits etc... which is fine but please be honest about it. I was also very upset when I learned how much people paid for that trip and what I paid. Of course I didn’t negotiate as I booked in advance but I paid double the price (sometimes even more) for the exact same thing. That remains a bummer even if the trip itself is amazing and I got to see so many wild animals. I went camping in the jungle, an experience I will never forget. Thank you very much to Ever and Rickie.

Booked the one day river tour with Jungle Explorers. Orlando was our guide for the day and took us to preserves to see and interact with Amazonian wildlife. Holding and playing with monkeys was definitely a highlight. After lunch we visited a local tribe and we were able to participate in their dances. Amazingly beautiful day and great commentary from Orlando - we learned a great deal about the area. The tour was in Spanish [as I need more practice] and Orlando was very patient whenever I needed clarification. Junge Explorers also does tours in English.

We took a private, one day river tour with Orlando stopping at several animal preserves and visited an indigenous tribe. The entire day was beautiful, relaxing and educational. The locations Orlando chose to experience the wildlife were well presented and did not feel touristy at all. The ability to interact with the animals, including feeding piranhas and paiche and holding monkeys and sloths was really special. Even just cruising down the Amazon River is magical. The place he chose for lunch floats on the river and had a wide selection of delicious food. Orlando was an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge of the animals and the region. By the way, we took the tour in Spanish but they offer it in English also.

We booked 4 days 3 nights tour to pacaya samiria. They told us that we will have our own guide, we'll sleep on a house and the tour will be flexible according to our prefferences. But actually, they just joined us to a group of other company and the tour was almost the opposite from what they told us: we were 2 nights camping and the schedule was strict. Orlando's Expedition didn't tell us the truth about the trip's details and didn't take responsibility for the mistake they have done. Be aware that this could happen with them and make sure that they don't make fool of you. Anyway, pacaya samiria is beautiful and it is recommended to go there (but maybe with other company).

We were two guys who did a 5 d and 4 n tour. Both the guide and the local guide were very nice and helpful people and especially the local guide new the jungle very well. The food was okay but nothing special. Very thin madrasses for the nights in tent which was not so comfortable but necessary to get deeper into the jungle. Overall a nice experience!

My wife and I had an amazing time on this trip and I cannot recommend it enough. During the three days we swam in the river, went out on multiple walks and boat rides and saw lots of different wildlife (including dolphins, monkeys, snakes, birds, spiders to name a few). Our local guide (Robert) was constantly pointing out animals that our untrained eyes couldn't see and a couple of times was able to imitate the animals' call so we could observe them from a bit closer. He knew so much about the wildlife and we loved hearing some of the stories he told us about the jungle and the local area. We opted to spend the second night in a tent slightly deeper in the jungle, which was a great experience. We fell asleep to the sounds of the jungle at night and were woken up to the sound of a group of howler monkeys :). We probably would have extended the stay another night or two (Orlando told us this is possible to do if you are enjoying it) but unfortunately we had already booked our flights away. English speaking guides are available but speaking a bit of Spanish will definitely help.

We got told that we where transferred into another agency, called golden snake as Orlando could not find us a guide and there was miscommunication between them, so we didn't do half of the things that we payed for, for example Lily pads, monkey island etc. Our guide was friendly but bit lazy, he didn't speak much english and didn't want to make much effort either, as my friend spoke Spanish he asked her to translate for me, which was really annoying for me and for my friend, as she constantly had to translate. Also we didn't do the nocturnal walk since we didn't have flashlights and we where not able to purchase them in a lodge, and our guide had NO flashligh!! Food was really bad too, not much options, and I'm a vegetarian, which they said they cater for, but on a first dinner I was given chicken, and even after telling them, they didn't replace my plate! I would not recommend this agency! I think you can do better.
