Testimonials from anglers and travelers

"I traveled with Will and his team. I loved this person, he knows everything about the region. We took a boat on the lake, and very quickly, the boatman and Will spotted the dolphins. It was a dream come true for me to see the pink Amazon dolphins. Everything is very well organized and the service is punctual. We also went fishing. We caught some piranhas. My only regret is not staying longer! I recommend!!"

"We spent a wonderful discovery day with Wilfrid who took great care of us by handling all the organization. Lovely boat ride on Lake Yarinacocha with exploration of fauna and flora, tasting of root-based cocktails, little piranha fishing, and visit to a community. We strongly recommend experiencing this authentic adventure with Wilfrid who, we are certain, will make you have a wonderful day."
