    Neuveriteľné dobrodružstvo na 15 dňovej expedícii na územie domorodých Matses. Hector a celý tým bol fantastický, boli sme ako jedna rodina, organizácia výpravy bola perfektná. Prežili sme autentické chvíle s domorodým kmeňom, stali sme sa súčasťou ich komunity do ktorej nás srdečne privítali. Sprievodcovia nám pripravili jedinečné zážitky v džugli, pozorovanie a stopovanie zvierat, učili nás spôsoby orientácie, výroby a plavenie sa na provizórnych pltiach a mnohé iné. Ak máte radi dobrodružstvo, odľahlé oblasti mimo turistických atrakcií, tak toto je určite miesto ktoré ak môžete, určite navštívte. Je to zážitok na celý život.

    I have done many various expeditions in different outdoor conditions and very remote areas, so I did not have much expectations other then logistics, and organization, but I have found out that Hector (with his Matses team) is a true professional with really serious experiences in jungle. No matter for which trip one would like to go with him, I would not have a single concern about anything. He is responsible and very reliable about just anything you agree about or discuss together. Definitely would like to plan more trips with Hector and his crew, with even much less or none of the "touristic" kind of services, as I feel fully confident about what to expect from his planning, organization and logistic. He even helped us a lot to sort sort out other things and problems we faced outside of our program. Hector, big thanks for all my group and hope to plan and do again with you some other serious things in the future :-)

    The guides were great. It was a wonderful exciting trip. Hector is a very experienced guide; we never felt afraid. The Matses tribe are such beautiful, kind people. We learned so much about the jungle during this trip. Me and my family are so happy we choose Amazon Explorer.....once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Hector.
