4 day jungle tour
Our guide Kevin was someone from the village where the lodge and grew up in the jungle himself. It was clear that the jungle was his home and he knew everything about all the animals and plants. He was passionate in taking us with him on the excursions and was very eager to show us around and learn us about all the jungles magic. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. We were picked up from the airport by car, then transfered to boat to the lodge and this all went down so smoothly, no hold ups whatsoever. These 3 days we did multiple tours differing from going by boat and by foot (mostly by boat because it was still rain season). The animals we saw during our stay was quite the list: gray dolphins, pink dolphins, tarantula, black widow, crocodiles, sloths, 9 kinds of monkeys and a lot birds including parrots, toucans and black eagles. We fished for piranhas and got to eat our catches. Also the track where he showed us the medicinal plants in the jungle was incredibly interesting. Lastly we also kanooed and were shown the village where he grew up along with the many stories about the cultures and rules in the jungle. All in all a very memorable experience that we will never forgot. Many thanks to Kevin because he really made this trip for us!

Wonderful Amazon Experience!!
This trip exceeded my expectations. Everything went so smoothly, and it was custom to our desires, so our guide did a GREAT job at doing the things we wanted to do and see. Our guide was Gomer and the boat driver was David over the 4 days. My friend and I enjoyed them so much and Gomer went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Our goal was to see a lot of animals, and we definitely accomplished that, even in dry season. The bungalow was comfortable, with hammocks to take a nap in during the afternoon time. All of our meals were fresh and delicious. We also got to walk through the local village that we were staying in, and that was neat!
Response from the operator: The Howlanders.com team would like to thank you for your kind review. We hope to see you again soon!

Good Tours , but ...
No where mentioned, that electricity is available for 3 hours a day only. It's like prisson, at 21:00 light is switched off. In the night you need a flash light to use the toilet. Food is like christmas, be suprised what you get. The most was tasty. No beer, wine or Softdrinks available in the Lounge, you have to by from local shop, but you can put it in a fridge. Locals had mobile phone connection, but we was not able to connect to that "Special Network". The tours was good.
Response from the operator: The howlanders.com team thanks you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed the tour. We have improved the description to indicate the times when electricity is available. Regards

4 unforgettable days in the jungle - Pure adventure with indigenous community
Right in advance, this tour has nothing to do with mass tourism and well-trodden tourist trails, quite the contrary! The tourists are not played anything touristy here, the experiences are real. One of the most impressive tours I have ever done, which gives an insight into a completely different way of life and habitat. We were picked up at the hotel in Iquitos on time and drove by car to Nauta to change to a mototaxi that takes us to the port. The ride or transfers were a bit chaotic but perfectly planned. The adventure begins here! Then we met our guide Joel at the boat, who accompanied us for the next few days. We drove directly to the community of La Libertad, which consists of about 300 inhabitants who live a very simple life. The guides and chefs who work here live in the community themselves and know the area by heart. The accommodation is simple but above average well equipped for the jungle. The rooms have a private bathroom with running water and mosquito nets around the beds. We wanted adventure and were not disappointed. Over the next few days we had boat trips across the Ucayali River, jungle walks with successful sightings of monkeys, sloths and many special medicinal plants. In addition, we could watch Amazonian dolphins hunting fish, fish and eat piranhas, canoe, swim in the river and enjoy the idyllic tranquility. Our guides Joel and Alexander showed us their home equipped with machete and boat, shared their knowledge of the habitat and left us with a lasting fascination of the jungle and the locals' sense of nature. The night hike was certainly the most exciting of the 4 days stay there. We set off into the dark night of the jungle in search of caimans and tarantulas. A unique experience! We were there in November. This is officially the end of the dry season, which means we have been able to do many hikes on foot. The rainy season starts in December and the experience is certainly even different when everything is underwater. Unfortunately, even mosquitoes are a reality, no matter how much mosquito repellent you apply, the beasts bite you anyway. That's what you should be prepared for. Whatever you can adjust to: Delicious food and great food. 3 fresh and healthy meals daily are cooked. The tour can be customized, is safe and professional, everyone gets their own guide and the regular tourists secure jobs of the locals. A win-win situation that benefits everyone! If you want to do something good for the community, bring them simple medical devices and bandages, which is always needed there and is not enough. The project is an absolute heartfelt recommendation! Do you want to get to know a completely different life in a strange habitat and experience adventures? Then you are in the best hands here! Thank you for the hospitality and this special, unforgettable experience in your home!
Response from the operator: Herzlichen Dank für Ihren Kommentar! 😊 Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie eine ganz andere Erfahrung gemacht haben und eine und eine andere Kultur kennenlernen durften. Wir freuen uns schon auf Ihr nächstes Abenteuer!

4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Iquitos.
How much does 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge cost?
+
Prices start at $632 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Iquitos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Iquitos is not rushed.
Is 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Iquitos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Iquitos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Iquitos and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Iquitos Rainforest Private Tour | Community-Owned Eco Lodge start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Iquitos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Iquitos?
+
On Outty we rank every Iquitos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pacaya Samiria Mystical 3 Days, 4 days 3 nights on the banks of the Amazon River, Amazing Jungle 3Days 2Nights - Amazon Wonder Expeditions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Iquitos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Iquitos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
