An excellent way to visit and explore the Amazon rainforest in a safe and secure setting. The lodge gave you a great feel to how the locals live. All beds have mosquito nets, rooms have all your basic amenities such as wardrobes, toilet, shower and balcony. The showers are cold but you’ll appreciate that in the humid environment! The food provided by the lodge was fantastic. It’s all sourced locally and is very healthy. We ate different kinds of fish with fresh vegetables such as plantain. The tours were structured very well to allow you enough free time to relax after a long day exploring! We saw pink & grey river dolphins, sloths, an anaconda, many kinds of monkeys, peiche fish and many more. We fished for piranha and cooked them for dinner. Overall if you’re a nature fan and don’t mind living without an internet connection for a few days this tour is definitely for you! Our guide Alejandro was brilliant. Check out my YouTube channel spring_aroundtheworld for a detailed video of our experience!

The adventure was simple style camping with nice hammocks and mosquito nets. The cook prepared home made meals the whole time! The reserve itself was beautiful and our guide, Adriano, was an excellent outdoorsman. Both he and the cook, Llersino, could make all sorts of animal calls and were so, so good at spotting all of the jungle creatures!! Very, very good guide and great trip all around ❤️

I was planned to visit the property in December but given visa issues had the cancel last minute. Not their fault, mine. But the lodge had a cancellation policy that should have awarded me back $1000. I've been chasing them for 2 months....first, the accounting person is on vacation (I waited), later they only do returns through Paypal (I opened an account), lastly, they stopped ansering... bottom line - they stole $1000 from me and I can't seem to be able to get them to pay it back.

We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.
