We were picked up on time and jeep was comfortable. We went during the week as the area is very busy on the week-ends. Coming from the deserts of southern California, the rain was terrific. The tour is for a private party of up to 4 people in the party. We were just two. Guide spoke English and knew about the area, plants, fish and animals. The jeep was comfortable and we brought towels from the hotel which we returned to the hotel. I slipped in the mud, but the mud mixed with the fallen leaves and water cushioned my fall. I got dirty but not hurt. At the end of the trail the office had gutters from which I was able to get cleaned up. I brought walking saddles and hiking boots. We had a good hike to and from the caves and a lovely lunch and then a short walk through to the waterfall and other caves. On the way out our guide heard the call of little black monkeys, no photos, little monkeys are fast and the forest is thick. We would not have known they were there. Overall great experience of the Amazon Rain Forest with Caves and waterfalls.
