Summer Vacations with an Edge: Backpacking in the Amazon
Sitting on the beach is nice, but Amazon Travel & Tours is more our style. The group takes backpackers on hikes through untamed trails and floats them down winding rainforest streams in a dugout canoe. They trek across the rainforest floor and climb through its canopy, too.
With a wide range of options there's something for everyone, from seven days in the Ecuadorian Amazon to a nine-day biosphere explorer. There are longer 16-day wildlife tours and a 15-day adventures through the Andes and the Amazon.
One traveler had this to say about his tour through the Amazon:
All the guides brought their culture to us by sharing their wealth of knowledge, experience, and other local interactions that helped bring Peru closer to us. Victor had a haunting way of finding things at night in the jungle that was simply amazing. I also came to realize how much trust and comfort there was in his presence as he navigated us through the jungle paths and the waterways. Your guides are the best! Overall, the tour was very good and we will definitely use Adventure Life again for future South American travels.
Sure it's no day on the beach, but according to Amazon's website, there's still plenty of time for lounging.
