Tambopata (Puerto Maldonado) 5 Tage

Absolutely fantastic jungle tour filled with wildlife. A charming place where we could appreciate various types of birds, alligators, monkeys and enjoy the sounds of the jungle. We had a very good time at the Lodge, The food 10/10 comfortable accommodation, very good service,. The guide Fredy was great, with a good predisposition, very well trained and gave us a lot of security. Thank you and we hope to see again in the future!

All the operators running tours in Tambopata are based in Puerto Maldonaldo. So if you buy a Tambopata tour in Cusco, you are talking to a middleman – a salesman who will take a commission and then hand you off to another company. This is where problems arise. The salesman will describe an amazing, efficient tour that “he” will provide you. But “he” is not providing it, someone else is. And they weren’t there when he made those promises to you. Almost as soon as you have paid for the trip, changes will start happening. Some are fine – reversing the order in which you do things, for example. Others may not be fine. So if you book a Tambopata tour in Cusco (and actually, this is a good idea anytime), make the salesman WRITE DOWN YOUR DETAILED ITINERARY – every place you will go, every activity you will do, every lodge or B&B you will stay in. Then show that to the tour operator at the start of the tour. If anything gets cut, you have a strong basis to demand a discount. And if enough tourists begin to do this, then the salesmen and the tour operators will start coordinating better to ensure we get what we paid for.

From prebooking to guide service to accomodations and tour arrangements, Machu Picchu Amazon Peru was very consistent and efficient. Their crew took a great effort in making this tour a smooth and memorable one.
