Reserva Nacional Pacaya Samiria Tickets and Tours

The Jungle of Mirrors 5 Days

Authentic Experience in Pacaya Samiria

I took the 5-day tour with Ruth Amazon Expeditions. Our group was small, just another couple and me, plus our lead guide and a boat captain who is also a guide himself. We first went to Nauta by car and then switched to a boat and kept travelling for some hours, until we reached the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, seeing birds and some pink and grey dolphins along the way. The first night we stayed in a small community, which was an interesting experience. We then kept navigating further into the jungle and made camp at different spots. Every day (and night) we hiked through the jungle for hours and also went on canoe expeditions, spotting new animals and plants/trees. This is the real thing, though: expect to spend days without showering, dealing with mosquitoes and humidity, walking under the rain, etc. This is exactly what I wanted, so I surpassed my expectations, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The guides were absolutely amazing. Eli and José are both passionate about their work, super kind, and willing to share their knowledge. We felt in really good hands, seeing the way they skillfully navigated the jungle using expert tracking techniques, respected nature and taught us about each and every species. I must say that Ruth has been super kind and helpful. She offered to pick me up and take me to the airport, keep my luggage safe during the length of the tour, and even lent me some items that I had forgotten. On the last day, an unexpected roadblock cropped up on the drive from Nauta to Iquitos, but she quickly arranged an alternative route through San Joaquin so we all arrived safely and on time. Highly recommend!!

An Unforgettable Amazon Jungle Experience with Gerson

Our journey into the Amazon jungle was truly unforgettable, and Gerson played an important part in making it special. His knowledge of the jungle, the rivers, the wildlife and the local way of life is incredible. Gerson was kind, patient, attentive and always willing to help. You can feel his genuine connection with the Amazon and his deep respect for the land and its people. Travelling through the jungle with someone who truly knows and loves this environment made us feel safe and allowed us to experience the Amazon in a much more authentic way. The beauty of the rainforest, the sounds, the rivers and the wildlife will stay with me forever. Thank you, Gerson, for your kindness, your knowledge and for sharing a little piece of your Amazon with us. A beautiful experience that I would highly recommend.
