The best and most spectacular and complete way to visit is to stay in a comfortable lodge in the middle of the jungle with excellent traditional food made from locally grown ingredients, first class service and guides with a lot of experience in these parts, as well as full of very interesting and useful information about life in the Amazon rainforest. So, whether you are traveling alone or with the whole family, you will be able to relax, experience the Amazon at your own pace and see the most attractions in the place without forgetting that you will be being ecologically responsible with your visit, most lodges that offer their services in the area practice Ecotourism, which is the development of tourism activities with environmental responsibility, reducing the impact of your visit in the area and even benefiting this region.
