Wildlife River cruise in 10 days

We explore exclusively by boat with little or no walking unless requested by the traveler. What is the difference between Jungle Reps and other companies regarding this program?

The answer is very simple; other companies only take you to explore basic jungle where wildlife is poor. Jungle Reps takes you to explore the places where the flora and fauna is in great conditions. In 10 days, we explore only areas protected by the government that guarantee us the sighting of wildlife.

Some details to keep in mind:

Meals

Our food service is based on fresh vegetables, meats and fruits. If you want another type of food as; vegan, vegetarian or of another type, please communicate at the time of making the reservation.

Bathroom

We carry portable toilets or use toilets in places assigned by the reserve to explore.

Where to sleep

We offer you a wide option where to sleep as; park ranger stations with toilets, tents, hammocks with mosquito nets, inflatable mattresses and houses of people who live in the jungle to experience how people really sleep in the jungle.

Where to eat

We can eat;  in the boat, build a portable dining room in the middle of the jungle or on the shore of a river or lake while we appreciate the animals that are in the jungle.

Our boat

It is 12 meters or 36 feet long by 2 meters or 6 feet wide that is propelled by a 15-30 hp outboard motor here the guide, driver, cook travels. Our capacity is only for up to 06 guests (plus 3 staff). Only a boat of this size allows us to explore the small streams where the animals and the most spectacular landscapes are concentrated. In case of larger groups please don´t hesitate to contact us.

Excursions

Our excursions are carried out only in our boat while we are sailing we are observing the animals from our comfort without making much effort other than sitting. We can also eat our food while we navigate. In short, it is like watching a documentary on the Amazon for 10 days without having to walk, but if you want to walk, we can do it too.

Communication

If you want to keep in touch while exploring with family, clients or friends do not worry since we carry a satellite device that allows connecting up to 10 devices at the same time. You can chat with your relatives and friends through your emails or social networks, even make calls. They are rarely when it rains too hard it does not work well but it is unlikely.
