Our lodges on the Tahuayo River have access to a great variety of ecosystems that we can explore as well as many native communities downriver. There are sufficient English speaking native men and women guides so that each person can go at their own pace and according to their interests. This is ideal for people who do not want to be stuck with a large group on an itinerary pre-determined to serve the lowest common denominator.


You can choose a photographer's pace, a soft pace or a ruggedly adventurous pace. You can concentrate more on birdwatching, canoeing, canopy exploration, fishing or native culture. You can be active all day long, including before breakfast or well into the evening.

Families can have a private guide who specializes in working with pre-teens or young teens. Special itineraries are available for marriages, honeymoons, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

There are many facilities, offered by no other tour operators, to give you unique experiences in exploring the rainforest. One example is the canopy zipline system. Many companies have canopy walkways or towers, but with Amazonia can you actually fly from tree to tree, with nothing underfoot except a hundred feet of rainforest.

    "First, let me say that I don't think that I could have made a better choice than Amazonia Expeditions. The staff was wonderful and try to be as helpful as possible, and work at catering your activities to meet your particular interests. The meals were delicious. My students and I had a fantastic fantastic experience and can hardly wait for our return in July."

    Just a quick note of appreciation for allowing Anne and I to experience the incredible environment of the Amazon jungle. The unique experience of participating in the lifestyle of the friendly people and abundant wildlife was made even better by the professional operation you have put together. To be so remote, the lodge was run with the efficiency and customer care of any stateside resort. It was very obvious to us that this was not coincidence. We could tell the staff had been picked carefully and the daily schedule and activities were well thought out. We spent most of our time with Robinson, Rudy and Larissa. We will display pictures of these knowledgeable and engaging guides as though they are a part of our family. Robinson's leadership skills kept everyone together and engaged in humorous activities. It was evident from the way people in the lodge and villages looked up to him that he was a born leader. We shared some of our most memorable adventures with Rudy. We climbed the Kapok tree, we caught an Anaconda and we introduced ourselves to a Fer De Lance, all with Rudy protectively at our side. As families do, Larissa came to the airport on her day off to say good bye. In fact, I have a picture of Robinson and Rudy that should be the cover to your next marketing brochure. If I can digitize it I will email it to you. Again, thanks for a wonderful experience and keep us on your mailing list.

    "Thank you for the perfect adventure. Your planning was impeccable, down to every little detail. The service we received was flawless. The guides were superlative. Everything was better than we could've ever imagined, surpassing all of our expectations. We were able to optimize every moment as you thought of everything. The personnel were all knowledgeable and highly capable. They met us at every stop along the way, always on time and with great energy. The staff made travel seamless and worry free. The lodges in the Amazon were so comfortable and well run. The adventures were endless and always different and exciting. We enjoyed everything about the lodges, including the hammock room, local food preparations, service, and of course the views were amazing. The guides, drivers and staff were highly qualified and provided for all of our needs. Our entire family, including the children, Jared (9) and Logan (7), were continually stimulated and still left with enough time to leisurely appreciate the incredible surroundings. Our guide was particularly competent. He worked so well with the children going well above the call of duty by addressing all of the special requirements necessary for them to explore the river and jungle with fascination and awe, as well as play hide and seek with them in the downtime. We learned so much from our guide about his knowledge of nature and the culture in the region. He taught the kids to fish, pulled them out of knee deep mud and even carried Logan through some more difficult hikes. He was unbelievably skilled at spotting the wild life, we tracked monkeys through dense jungle, found caimans by moonlight and fed bananas to Dorilla the monkey, while she sat on our laps. There are not enough fond words to describe how impressed we were with him. We can't thank you and your staff enough for making this such a great experience for all of us."
