A life time experience in the heart of the Amazon Jungle
This place is a heaven for real adventurers. You can sleep in the cottage, in tents, or just in hammocks in the jungle. Of course there is no %100 safety because of the wild animals but owners try to make you feel safe all the time.

You can try indigenous ceremonial drink Yage, visit living indigenous villages in the jungle far from civilization, swim with piranhas or try to catch one in a indigenous way for dinner, boat ride on the Amazon river, see lots of exotic animals, taste different fruits, doing canoeing or kayaking, visit the biggest maloka in the jungle, and on and on...
This was really a life time experience for me, definitely recommended :))

You can expect a real adventure from this trip.. Even you can only take a shower from the nearby lake which has two anacondas and a cayman in it.. It's obvious why my showers were very quick :))

If you go there, please send my regards to wonderful owners Chan and Juan.. and of course to the mascot of the reserve, the baby lazy bear Sami :))
