Everything was well organized. Pick & drop from airport is excellent facility. All activities were well organized. Food was good. Only inconvenient thing was that water was not available in the lodge toilet most of the time.

If you haven't see the amazon rainforest before this is a nice glimpse. Otherwise you don't see many animals as the lodge is close to the city and the trips to the area are very touristic. If my group haven't insisted to the guide to do the trips we payed maybe we have done the half.

We just finished our tour and I couldn’t wait to write this review. We had an absolutely unforgettable time. The activities, especially the Lake Sandoval tour, were amazing and we saw so much wildlife, but we also learned a lot about the area. I cannot say enough good things about our guide, Boris. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the flora and fauna. We could not have asked for a better guide. The staff at the lodge are also fantastic, and we had conversations with many of them. The accommodations were basic, but not uncomfortable at all. The lack of power and WiFi didn’t really make a difference, since we spent so much time out and about. It was also a great opportunity to put away our screens and take the time to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Paradise Tours and thank you Boris!

We had three amazing days, much thanks to our fantastic guide Boris. He really knew how to spot the animals, shared soo much interesting information about everything we saw, on top of that he was a great photogafer, funny and patient. The lodge was great too and the food was lovely. The rooms are basic without windows only mosquitonet, but that is the experience you want, I loved falling asleep to the sound of nature. The only downside was that the bathroom and particularly the shower had not been cleaned for quite some time, so we did not use the shower. Bring a powerbank as electricity is limited to a few hours a day. The program was not exactly as stated but we did not mind. We had more freetime than experted but we enjoyed the rest after the early mornings and the opportunity to cool down by the pool.
