A: No, but you need to pay attention to your surroundings. With us, you'll always have a professional guide walking in front of you, who looks carefully for any potential hazards on the route. You'll also have your rubber boots on (which we lend you). We move slowly to not scare any wildlife. Yet, it is highly recommended to have proper travel insurance that covers the jungle treks.
A: Nope. By default, you shall stay in the boat — swimming is completely optional. While the piranhas do eat pretty much everything, they don't attack human beings who move actively in the water. So if you dip into the river for a swim, you won't be eaten alive like in the Hollywood movies. Yet, it's not recommended to put your hand into the water and let it stay there without motion.
A: We only have two seasons in the Amazon: 1) high water (Nov to May), when we explore the flooded areas using a little boat and 2) low water (Jun to Oct) when we explore the jungle mostly by foot. Each one is like a different world — and has its own charming.
Q: We want to start the experience the same day that we arrive to the airport, can you pick us up?
A: Yes, it is possible to start the experience the same day: if you arrive before 14:00, we wait for you with all the supplies and start the adventure right away. You just need to share with us your flight details, so we can organize the transportation. If you arrive after 14:00, we suggest you to stay in a local hotel and start the adventure on the morning of the following day.
Q: Is it possible to book the adventure online, and pay for it when we arrive?
A: Yes, the adventures we organize are based on trust between the client and our company. You just have to let us know in advance how you want to pay —c ash or credit card — so we have everything ready once you arrive.
Q: Is it possible to change the day and date of our adventure? How do we do it?
A: Yes, it is possible to change the day and date — but only if we have availability for the proposed dates. Just send us a message with your proposed change, and we will tell you about our availability or suggest another date.
Q: We are on a long trip and have big luggages — is it possible to bring those along with us?
A: Yes, of course. Just let us know in advance, so we know the type of transportation to organize. There will be always space for your belongings.
Q: Your prices are in US Dollars, is it possible to pay in PEN Soles?
A: Yes, it is possible to pay in PEN soles, the payment is according to the exchange rate of the day.
Q: Do I need any special vaccines before traveling to the jungle?
A: We do not have any problems with diseases in the area where our lodge is located, but we recommend you to visit your doctor for vaccine recommendations, before visiting the Peruvian Amazon.
