Amazing Adventures in the Heart Of The Peruvian Amazon

  Do not think that this man is limited in what he can help you do by what is advertised. He can help you do things off the beaten tourist path.... read more God bless you, Angel, until we meet again!

  My wife and I were looking for a reliable and reasonably priced Amazon river day tour from Iquitos. The options online seemed very limited, and the tour company we found... read more - Angel's Amazon Adventures, was unknown to tripadvisor or other well-known sites. We corresponded directly with Angel, a 30 year-old local guide who recently opened his own business after guiding for other companies. We told him of the places we want to visit and he built up a plan for us, stretched over 10 hours going as far as Isla de los Monos, including lots of wildlife, the two Indigenous villages (which are quite a tourist's show, but still interesting), climbing to a view point over the river and ending with a beautiful sunset before returning to the port. And yes, the dolphins too...
During the entire time Angel went out of his way to make us satisfied, he speaks good English and is knowledgeable and fun to talk to. He kept all of his promises without exception and reliability in this area, especially when you travel on limited time and there's no second chance - is a key factor.
Note which boat you are taking for your amazon tour. If this is not a speed boat, you won't be able to go very far and can't reach Isla de los Monos for instance. Yet Angel priced the speedboat tour under everyone else we have checked.
My bottom line: trust him, he will deliver!

  I met Angel on the street near square. He is a nice guy who helped me organize my tour in the jungle of Iquitos. Gracias

  Angel was very friendly, sincere and knowledgeable. We went to the Belén Mercado, which is really interesting and to the neighborhood below, next to the river - really fascinating.

  So i was chilling in Iquitos and Angels respectfully came to talk with me.
As i was leaving in few days i didn't plan an excursion with him, but... read more still asked him to take me to the Belen market to buy some products.
I'm always stressing in Belen as a tourist but he brought me to amazing places and i felt secure.

We had some nice chats about life, shamanism and so on around a juice in a cool bar. Good memories.

Next time i'll go to Iquitos i'll definitely organize tours with him

Amazing guy

Stay safe bro !

  I did a 3 night/4 day trip with Angel and it was everything he promised and more. Angel is very knowledgeable about the jungle and taught us a lot about... read more the different animals and plants. He also took us to a small village in the jungle and introduced us to many interesting

  Angel was a fantastic guide around Iquitos and the jungle. We had arranged a 4 day and 3 nights jungle adventure after finding Angel on Tripadvisor. We spoke with Angel... read more via email to tailor our trip to what we wanted, and once we were happy, we sent a deposit via Western Union.

On the first day of arriving in Iquitos, we had the day to chill before the jungle trip the next day. Angel arranged to meet us, and talk us through what we were going to be doing. We then ended up spending the day with him, he showed us around Iquitos and took us to Belen market. We were very grateful for this, as this wasn't arranged.

The Jungle trip was a real adventure, and we felt in safe hands the whole time. Angel has extensive knowledge of the jungle and wildlife. We saw a huge range of wildlife including, 5 different types of monkeys including a Red Uakari which are very hard to find, many different types of birds including different types of hawks, kingfishers, toucans, macaws, eagles, herons and many more. On our last day, we also held a sloth that had been saved by a family from a snake bite. We experienced fishing in canoes and catching Parana's. Walking in the jungle and learning about medicinal plants. And nighttime expeditions finding caiman. The Lodge we stayed in for the 3 nights was beautiful. The toilet facilities we exceptionally clean and pleasant to use and included a shower. The lady, Lilly who owned the lodge tidied our room and cleaned it every day.

On the last day of being in Iquitos, I had my phone stolen. Angel came to meet us and help us try and locate the phone by speaking with people in the local area. We were very thankful for this. We spent our last day with Angel in Iquitos and it was a real pleasure.

All in all, we would highly recommend Angel's Adventures. Angel is very kind, passionate and enthusiastic about the Jungle trip and our wellbeing, he kept us feeling safe and welcome at all times.

  My son and I just completed 3, 1- day tours with Angels Amazon Adventures. We did not go sleep in the jungle. I must admit, I... read more am not a sleep-in-the-jungle kind of guy, so what Miguel Angel was able to create for us was ideal. (We slept in the DoubleTree) My son and I were assigned Milton, a many who has many years of experience in Iquitos with both the jungle and the rivers. He knew a ton of information and was exceptionally friendly. We especially enjoyed the fishing on our jungle tour! Milton really knew what he was doing. As others have mentioned, Angels Amazon Adventures is a smaller organization and less polished than other tour companies. However, Miguel Angel is very honest and genuinely concerned with your tour enjoyment and safety.

  Miguel Angel starts his pre-tour briefing by managing expectations, stating that this is not a luxury tour and that we wouldn’t be following a predefined itinerary. This was a pretty... read more good summary of the trip. We stayed in a basic but pleasant lodge run by an indigenous family. I originally booked for two nights camping but, once I got there, decided that the lodge was close enough to nature for me and, to Miguel’s credit, he was flexible enough to change this for me. Camping would allow you to spend more time in the beautiful more distant reaches of this quiet tributary river. The activities were decided a bit on the fly which was occasionally a bit frustrating but, at other times, I found myself in amazing experiences that I suspect few on standard tours would get. I’ve done quite a bit of paddling and I found the indigenous canoes heavy to paddle, not easy to keep in a straight line and they’re not really designed for distance paddling. If you were camping, you would get the best experience with a motor support boat to get you there but having the canoes for quiet local exploration and wildlife spotting. If you like to be highly organised and know exactly what’s going to happen next, then this is not the trip for you. If you’re happy to go with the flow and see where that flow takes you, then I would recommend.

  Great guide, really informative and interesting. Good info on history of Iquitos and knowledge of native flora and fauna

  First off, let me say: I'm a river guide in Oregon, so I know that it's no easy task to run a successful multi-day trip. Angel succeeded in keeping us... read more safe and well-fed, which are the most important things. We also saw some amazing places and met some good people. Unfortunately

We were hesitant at first since we don’t know anyone and everyone seems to want to sell you something but we are glad we gave him a chance. He took us to the Pilpintuwasi Nature and Wildlife Conservation then we explored the village of the Kukama people where they performed several indigenous dances for us. He then took us to a market on the northeastern corner of Iquitos where vendors sell all kinds of native food. He ensured we got reasonable prices for everything and he escorted us back to the center of Iquitos. He also offered to do tours along the river systems deeper into the Amazon Rainforest and, although we didn’t have the time, I am confident it would have been an amazing experience with him as our guide. I strongly recommend him as a river tour guide for any adventure you seek!
