    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.

    Just ended one of the strongest experiences of my life. My husband and I wanted an authentic experience and Amazon Explorer gave us the opportunity to live with a matses tribe for a few days and then return to Iquitos crossing rivers and the jungle on foot for another 50km, emotions that you can not tell, I can only say thank you to Hector and his entire team for living with us every day as we were friends forever and a special thanks to my friend Armando who literally took me by the hand in complicated times. These days I will carry with me forever the laughter and stories of our fellow travelers, the affection and teachings of our now Matses friends and of the jungle itself. Simply thank you
