Thank you, Io, Lizbeth, and Nataly for making sure every detail was accounted for in planning and carrying out this amazing trip!! Everyone was so helpful and profesional from the planning stage to drivers, tour guides, airport greeters for pick ups, hotel staff, and more. I loved seeing Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the jungle/rainforest! I felt very safe and comfortable traveling alone with Andean Travel Experience and would definitely do it again. I highly recommend booking with them!

Beautiful views and incredible location right off of the Madre de Dios river. The guides and lodge staff made me feel safe despite all the risks of the jungle and made it a very comfortable stay with INCREDIBLE views of plants and animals as we adventured together there.

It’s hard to keep fruit flies and other insects away from the food tables in the heart of the jungle. I wish there was a second screen door to help prevent some of this or insect traps. I also found a cockroach in my room and on my lifejacket on the boat, but the tour guides got rid of them immediately and said it’s hard to keep them off the boat completely in the rainy season. I appreciated the authenticity of the experience and didn’t mind seeing/holding some bugs in the jungle, though. I just wish they were better kept away from the food tables and rooms.
