disorganized with time (told me I'd get picked up between 5 and 6AM; instead got awoken at 4:30AM by driver), offer an itinerary online even though they just decide what to do day of, Carlos speaks poor English and is the only one who speaks any, promises of English-speaking shaman but actually, again, Carlos is the only English speaker, walls are paper thin and they have dogs running around and wheezing (though they claim it's just a cold, i've had dogs all my life and he definitely has something lodged in his throat) so impossible to sleep
but the worst: BED BUGS! went to sleep with no bites and woke up with over 20 ON EACH LIMB. THAT IS 80 BUG BITES. wtfffff
do NOT go here. it is a ripoff and they will take anything they can from you.
also Carlos is a creep and asked for my phone number, asked me if i wanted him to sleep in my room 3 times, and gave me special (unsolicited) attention the entire time. when i brought this up to Santiago, he acted surprised, but i have now read of multiple other women complaining about this on here. evidently it's easier to just let women keep feeling harassed than to hire another tour guide.
also constant contradictions between shaman and carlos, made it seem like neither knew what they were talking about
Very unique place. Remote, but once you're there, very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Cons:
- Bar was closed all the time
- we could talk through the walls, every step from the guests above was a loud knock
- "english speaking" guide spoke spanish most of the time
- price/value was not good (it would be ok for half of the price)
Pros:
- location in the jungle
- food was very good
- relaxed atmosphere
The staff was amazing, it felt like you just made a bunch of new friends. The food was really really good. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
Amazing. Right in the heart of the jungle. Great people. Great service. Food was lovely. Really recommend it
Nice and beautiful. Relaxing. BUT WAAAAYYY TOO OVER PRICED!!! Nice rooms, food. But why is it $50 to sit in a tube down a river? and another $50 to walk for 20 minutes in the "jungle walk"? What a rip off. Service and staff is really unorganized. The time for activities is always delayed by sometimes 2 hours. My boyfriend and I did the Ayahuasca program. It was very interesting and a enriching experience to go to the shamans house at night and be part of the cleansing ritual however the Ayahuasca did not work on either of us despite eating the proper diet. No idea why, maybe it was that particular batch but perhaps think about that before deciding to do this program. I would suggest going somewhere else.
