4 Days Amazon Jungle Adventure Tour

The tour ended up being an expensive nightmare. Fittingly, Amazon Amazing Tours did not respond to our criticism but rather blocked our phone number. Hence, we decided to warn future potential buyers of this trip here. - You're being ripped off. We paid 2000 Reais per person for this tour because it was supposedly more ecological and with "professional guides" compared to other agencies. Needless to say that we ended up in a group with people booking through other agencies (e.g. Encontró das Aguas, Safari ecología) and paying only 1400 Reais. Everything was exactly the same for everyone - there was no difference in accommodation or food options that could explain a price difference. - The agreed upon tour programme was not respected by the tour guides. There was a complete lack of organization - activities were done randomly and in a chaotic fashion. Paid for activities that were not delivered include an overnight stay at an indigenous community with spearfishing at night, processing of cassava/manioc flour, planting cassava, extracting rubber from trees, teaching of survival techniques, watching of pink dolphins - Persistent lack of communication by tour guide: he never mentioned what we were going to do and how we should prepare for it, resulting in us not bringing essential items to stay safe in a potentially dangerous rainforest environment (e.g. he made us get in the boat and go somewhere without telling us that we were headed to camp in the forest for the night) - Problematic alcohol addiction of tour guide: he was day drinking throughout the whole trip, often stopping at small floating kiosks to buy more beer or even asking tour members to buy him a beer. Especially while camping in the jungle, the guide was completely drunk, lying in the mud and mumbling random stuff - he certainly wasn't able to watch out for wild animals. The fact that he was carrying a machete while drunk made us feel extremely unsafe and we did not dare to confront him. - The tour was advertised as ecological, which turned out not to be true: guides and staff of the forest lodge were throwing plastic rubbish and cigarette buds into the river and forest. There also was a big pile of rubbish hidden just behind the lodge.

It an amazing experience for people who enjoy wild life, are flexible and are easy to adopt to the environment.

Unbelievable trip! Me and two friends done 3 nights 4 days camped in the jungle for 2 nights out the 3. Unbelievable experience. Like no other. Food was very good to a lot of variety, which was surprising in the middle of the jungle. Would definitely recommend.
