★★★★★ 5/5

Fantastic experience - we had a great guide and wonderful food. They went out of their way to answer our questions and to take us on a night hike because we expressed interest. It is rugged for sure, but absolutely worth it!

We had a great trip - wonderful food, rigorous hiking, excellent guide. Our guide was very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, and answered our questions about land use conflicts and threats to the park. Unforgettable experience

We booked this tour last-minute and were happy we still got to go, even though the season seemed to have ended. Good contact with the owner/organization. Communication on the itinerary could have been a little better. Food was nice, even for vegetarians. Not a lot to do in the evening, so bring a book or some cards.

I had been to the South American jungles twice before, once in Ecuador and once in Peru, but this trip was definitely the best. I saw a tapir and my guide really knew about the wildlife in the region, much more so than any other guides I had had previously. I asked about very specific, niche bird species that live in Bolivia and he knew exactly where to find them and where not.
