Iquitos – Fjallaskálar

Catherine Bandaríkin

Frank and the staff were very accommodating and made sure we were always taken care of. The food was amazing and we loved falling asleep to the sounds of the Amazon! The naturally beautiful location right on the water was just superb!

My experience in the jungle with jacamar tours exceeded all of my expectations. It was truly an amazing experience. First I would like to say I am a solo traveler, and while I’m pretty well traveled I still wanted to be sure I could have a safe experience that would check all the boxes in terms of what is offered for the jungle tour. I picked Jacamar tours because it had good reviews and it looked well positioned on one of the tributaries off the Amazon river. I must say it did not disappoint! Shortly after I booked, Danny the tour guide reached out to me just to touch base and help gear me up. I truly appreciated that and it made me feel like I already had a connection and that I would go into the jungle knowing what I should do and bring. Make sure you bring bug spray and long sleeve shits/pants. With spray the bugs were not bad at all btw. After I arrived in Iquitos he met me that evening and it was really great to put a face to the name and discuss further what it would be like. As mentioned, you pay for the room and then the price for the tour guide is $50 per day. Also please remember that these people work incredibly hard and keep us safe out in the jungle. Without them we would not have this experience. So it is customary to leave a tip beyond the $50 per day that you pay for the tours, I chose to leave a very generous tip, it’s up to you but really think about how wonderful the experience is and try to tip as much as you can at the end. Also bear in mind that your tours are private and customized for what you want- you do not go on tours with a big group of people which is awesome. I cannot begin tor explain what a great price this is for a person that is literally from the jungle and stayed with me the whole time! He was so kind and knowledgeable- Danny truly made the experience more than I ever could have imagined.
