What sets us apart

Unique lodging in our own Amazon Treehouse

We design the routes ourselves, operate the boats ("peque-peque"), cook your traditional meals with fresh, local ingredients, and guide you on the trails. Traveling with us is an honest and safe immersion in the local culture; we welcome you as part of our family.

Our trails and facilities are strategically located in protected areas. We guarantee small groups and quiet hikes on pristine trails.
