  The amazon rainforest is absolutely incredible and it was a mostly fantastic experience while there. The wildlife was incredible to see. The lodge was comfortable and the food was delicious! There were fun activities and I learned a lot about the area and it's history. I was concerned that the tour guide did catch a small caimen and held it while describing anatomy/behavior etc. it was also concerning that it was then passed around for anyone who wanted to hold it - despite the tourists having contaminants like big spray on them. That was uncool. You're not going to grab a sloth out of a tree - no need to grab a caimen. This also does seem to break the trip advisor animal welfare guidelines. My guide did speak English which was great and very appreciated. He couldn't tell me a lot about the local indigenous tribes or whose land we were on, but just said they didn't really exist there anymore as they had "retreated into the forest". I'm not sure if he didn't really understand my questions or if he just didn't know. The survival camping night was a bit odd as well, we broke several cardinal rules of camping (10 essentials, making camp before dark, etc). The light misogyny of the guide also made me quite annoyed - our guide was really just surviving for us, instead of using the collective expertise of me and my fellow tourists, who back country camp regularly. We ended up making camp in the dark, putting up tarps last minute before a rainstorm, and taking forever to build a fire, and not eating until at least 9:30pm. Not entirely sure if recommend this night. The communication from bamba was subpar - maybe I missed it, but I didn't know who the local operator was until just days before leaving, wasn't entirely sure where I was getting picked up from, and I didn't get a gear list until about a week before - luckily I had done my own research and was fairly well lifted out because I had already left my home country by that time and wasn't going to bring anything else.

  I had a fantastic time! The itinerary made every day (including arrival) a day where I learned and experienced something new. The transportation was well-organized, and we went by van, boat, van and boat to arrive & reverse to return. The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and fluent in English. He always gave us clear instructions/advice to prepare us for the next tour or activity. Bring your most serious mosquito spray because when you go on excursions, they are aggressive (they can bite through the hammock material!) I also recommend that you be prepared for the humidity. They feed you pretty generously, but you may want to bring some sweets, but there is cupuacu mousse cups that are yummy and not very expensive! The only thing I was sad about was that it was hard to see the river dolphins. We did spot a few in the distance.

  Lovely experience that brings you closer to nature... The night in the jungle in hammocks is super cool, swimming in the amazone and fishing piranha's is superb, the rooms are very basic and the last day the meet&greet with locals was kinda boring... also if you don't speak portugese, you are a little bit left out, our guide spoke englisch but if he explained something it was 5 minutes in portugese and 5 words in Englisch... Also I would have expected to see more animals...

  Such an interesting experience! I've never fished for piranha or seen pink dolphins. I was amazed at the nature our planet is home to. This was the most authentic trip i've ever done. Special thanks to our guide Eduardo!

  Bring bug spray and long sleeves! Be prepared for the jungle and all the critters and creepy crawlies you WILL encounter. It makes a big difference to be prepared so you can enjoy it even more. If you're not a nature lover, then you won't have the best time.
