Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick - Great Experience! - Great Amazon/Tambopata Experience! My wife and I did the 3-day tour of the Tambopata Macaw Clay Lick and had a great time! The booking communication was great, the airport pickup & transfer was smooth, the food was excellent (they accommodated our vegetarian diet very nicely!) and the outings were fun and informative! The lodging had a few issues, but thankfully the company resolved them as best as possible. The lodging was sort of hostel-style, which was fun to meet other travelers and eat with them and share experiences. Highly recommended! Just be sure to pack light into the jungle, and leave your big luggage at home or their office in Puerto Maldonado.

Amazing wildlife - My dad and I had an amazing time on the 3 day Tambopata tour. Our guide Ivan was so knowledgeable and we learned a huge amount about the wildlife as well as local cultures and beliefs. The lodges were clean and comfortable and all the staff were very helpful. Highlights include canoeing at sunset on lake Sandoval, and spotting a family of Capybaras on our nighttime boat trip.

Palotoa was amazing - We did the clay lick tour with them and it was very nice experience. Abel was very nice and helpful and shared many interesting facts about the plant and bird life there. We also had the opportunity of witnessing the local traditions and culture and taste some local food. It was a perfect trip.

Impeccable - A trip of a lifetime. thanks Abel and his team for making this Amazon experience lively and authentic from start to end. The company took care of every bit of thing and we just had to live the experience. It was just flawless, the guide spoke excellent English and knew a lot about the flora and fauna and the life in the Amazon. These were one of the unforgettable three days.

Just what we were looking for - Exceptional tour, my partner and I had a fantastic time visiting the jungle with Palotoa Amazon Travel. They were so well organised and did go miles beyond in making us feel safe and comfortable in the jungle. The guide, Carlos was incredibly awesome and did erverything he could to make this a fruiful yet a joyful excursion. His knowledge on the local traditions and culture was impeccable and his tips were very helpful. There were no flaws. Abel the owner also offered us free airport transfer in Puerto Maldonado which was a very nice gesture on their part. I can totally reccomend the tour and the tour company.

3 Days in Tambopata with our guide, Carlos. - We had a great 3 day trip to Tambopata National Park with our guide, Carlos. His enthusiasm for the rainforest and the nature it contains was infections. His knowledge of the many different species of birds, mammals, insects, reptiles and even fish was incredible. Our boat drivers Viktor and Jordy were also great, along with the lodge hosts/chefs who cooked up great food each day.

Book a longer tour - We booked this trip via email and we were worried it wasn’t going to work but rest assured you will be well taken care of. Our tour guides were so accommodating and went above and beyond for our group. 10/10 would recommend, the only thing I regret is not booking a longer tour!
