About this experience
We are Karla, Darwis, and little Abi, and we want to invite you to a unique experience. You will connect with the Amazon rainforest, the largest and most natural oxygen factory on earth, and you will witness its majesty. This is a cultural and nature trip; it is private, and it is not mass tourism. We do it in a sustainable way for the natives; we are locals, and we work with our neighbors enterprises. You will have the opportunity to explore the great Amazon River and its flooded jungle, take day and night walks through forests of giant trees, navigate Tarapoto Lake, the "cradle of dolphins," and learn about the quiet life of the nearby communities, their culture, and their gastronomy. Enigmatic days await you, full of knowledge and deeply relaxing. Come to the Amazon!
