This trip was the most fulfilling thing I have done in my entire life. I found out about Junglekeepers through the podcast space and knew that whatever I signed up for, whatever money it was going to cost, and time it would take... it was going to be used for something that truly matters to this planet. That is what I knew from just listening to Paul through earphones. But after spending a week in the jungle on this experience, I could feel in my soul just how important their mission is. It is something that can be felt so easily because of the quality and character of all the people involved along with the environment they are cultivating and protecting there. Whatever expectations I had going into this experience, were blown out of the water. The staff, the food, the wildlife, the facilities, the daily adventures... it is something I will never forget and will be longing for until I am able to return.

For a long time, I wanted to visit the Amazon Rainforest but didn't really know with whom to go. I'm glad that I found Tamandua Expeditions and went with them. William and Marcos did a very good job showing us the jungle, sharing their knowledge with us, and most importantly, making it fun and always having a great sense of humor. That, for me, really improved the whole experience. A big thank you to the whole team in general for making sure all of our needs were met, and thank you for preparing such good food for us.

My husband surprised me with this trip and I really didn’t know what to expect going in to it. It’s difficult to find the right words to sum up how amazing this trip turned out to be. Every person I came in contact with left me with a smile on my face. They welcome you like family, go out of their way to make sure your needs are met, and work hard to make your time at Alta Sanctuary unforgettable! I learned so much from our knowledgeable guides, and truly left a piece of my heart in the jungle! I hope to return with my family someday soon.
