Our Trips
Multi-Day Canoe Adventure
Our multi-day canoe adventure is our flagship tour. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you want to experience a real adventure in the real Amazon and get well off the beaten path, this could be for you.
Day Trips Around Iquitos
Iquitos is a city like no other it’s definitely worth getting to know some of its many unique sights and activities. We have several different tours that explore Iquitos and its surrounding area.
Stay at a Jungle Lodge
If you would prefer something that’s a little more relaxing and luxurious then we can arrange a stay at a luxury jungle lodge. But you can still see the real jungle and take part in some awesome activities.
Trip Advisor Reviews
I did a one day Amazon tour with Angel recently. I was amazing. It was my first time getting on the Amazons so that alone was exciting. Once we arrived... read more at a small village off the Amazon River we started hiking around and Angel explained to us a little bit about the area and various plants.
Then we got to a small tributary off the Amazon where we canoed to a spot and fished for piranhas.
After that we returned to the small village where they cooked us a delicious local meal.
In addition to the lovely jungle tour, Angel was very helpful in showing me around Iquitos and providing me with Ayahuasca shaman recommendations.

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.

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.

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 I can't recommend him as a guide for the following reasons:
1) We had to beg him to be our guide:
We communicated with Angel for months before our travels to iron out details. Through this process, me and my travel partner felt like we built a relationship with Angel and knew what to expect. However when we arrived in Iquitos, he had a story and said he couldn't be our guide, and tried to send us with another guide. We said: "Hey, we booked this tour with YOU, based on YOUR TripAdvisor reviews, and if you can't go with us, we want our money back." At that point he backpeddled, and said he COULD go with us. Having to negotiate and practically beg for what we were promised was a poor introduction.
2) No sleeping pads:
In emails he said he would provide sleeping pads, but when the time came, we had nothing. Angel wasn't clear on what happened, but my impression is he simply forget them. On one of the nights he took us to what seemed like an abandoned lodge where we were able to sleep on a mattress. On the other nights we lay on the hard, hard ground, didn't get much sleep, and woke up rather grumpy.
3) Nickeled & Dimed:
Before leaving he asked us to buy a case of bottled water for ourselves. After just paying nearly $1000 for this trip, asking us to buy 15/soles ($5) worth of water didn't seem professional. Another time, he bought us two beers in a village as a way of apologizing for a screw-up, and then a couple days later he hits up my partner to pay him back for the beers! It seemed like little things like this kept happening and eroded my trust in the guy.
Angel isn't a bad guy. He's knows the places and the people of the region and can tailor a custom trip for you. But he's also fairly young and has definite room for improvement. We definitely got an adventure, just not the adventure we were bargaining for.
If you're looking for a 5-day jungle tour, I would recommend Tapiche Reserve instead, with whom we were absolutely WOW'ed and felt like we got MORE than our money's worth.

I arrived in Iquitos, Peru from Los Angeles, CA by myself. Not speaking Spanish and not knowing anybody around. My mission was to find a good Shaman to... read more work with and I trusted the universe for guidance.
I was sitting at a table on the boulevard talking to some English speaking folks who also just arrived there. Angel, overheard our conversation, as he heard me talking about spirituality. At the right moment when I stepped away from the table, Angel approached me expressing interest in some of the things that I was talking about. He spoke English very well and it was easy for me to talk to him. He was very kind, and told me some interesting things about the different type of Shamans that are out there. Then he offered to introduce me to one Shaman who is very knowledgeable and he felt we would have a great connection. That is how my journey began.
I can't express enough gratitude for everything that Angel had done for me for couple of weeks that I was there. He was translating for me every step of the way. He found me a very good Hotel right in the center, for a great price. Even though the Hotel was already overbooked. He was able to arrange my stay. He introduced me to many other local Shamans and told me who to Trust who not to trust. All of the ones that I had experienced through him were very amazing and kind Shamans that I am still in touch with. One of whom will be my teacher.
We also went through the Jungle and different villages where he told me lots about how locals live and some history. Names of different plants and birds.
Another thing that was great, is he was able to save me money on travels, food, and shopping. Many locals take advantage of people who don't speak the language and charge them at least triple of their normal price. Angel would make sure that didn't happen. I felt really safe and protected. I left my personal things around him and always knew they were safe.
He truly was an Angel on my path. No one else that I saw around had such an opportunity to explore the inner world of Iquitos. I felt so blessed to have met Angel. I am already planning my next visit to Peru and contacting Angel for his Guidance.
100% solid person and a Safe and wonderful guide!!!!

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.
