What a trip! One of the best things I have ever done. The guides were truly fantastic and made everything we experienced so exciting and fun. A special thank you to Diana, Jonathan and Didier 😊 The landscape was breath-taking, I kept pinching myself and could hardly believe I was there. The rafting was unbelievably cool! One of the best things about it was getting to meet so many local people along the way too. It’s great to know our trip contributes in some way to keeping the area beautiful and providing sustainable livelihoods that don’t rely on deforestation. Oh my goodness and the food – it was hearty, wholesome and fresh and we got to try lots of interesting new things. Still dreaming about those pork ribs cooked on a bbq in the jungle. We were so lucky our trip coincided with a local fiesta so we saw a great band and latin American dancing in a tiny village in the mountains after 10h walking. I would agree with the other reviews that the trek is tough and definitely important to be prepared. A lot of my companions suffered from terrible blisters and as walking poles were not on the essential kit list, they didn’t have them which made it so much tougher. I would say walking poles are essential (unless you are a mountain goat), as are good socks that fit well, waterproof good quality hiking boots are too. I found the kit list confusing in places and a little incomplete. If they run the trip in the same way they ran ours, I found it useful to have a 30 litre dry bag and a smaller dry bag to take on the raft, and then a 30 litre backpack for the hike separately (we didn’t need to hike with our raft gear). Finally, I would recommend a medical kit with blister plasters, Imodium, insect bite cream and savlon.

I couldn’t rate this trip more highly. MBA and hosts were absolutely fantastic, the guides were probably the best I’ve ever had on any adventure: experienced, knowledgeable and really hard-working (how they managed the behind the scenes logistics so well in such a remote area amazes me), as well as generally kind, supportive (and hilarious) human beings. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, both the pristine jungle and the river, it felt like a privilege to be there. The links the company appeared to have with the local communities made me feel we were a part of something positive and special, rather than intruding, and people we met along the way were warm and welcoming. I loved wild camping in hammocks, washing in streams and eating and chatting around the campfire in the evening, under the starry sky. Being this close to nature, as well as having no phones or any idea (or cares) what we looked like for a week was a real tonic for the soul. A much-needed break from modern life and a reminder of the important things. I was also incredibly lucky to be part of an amazing group of people. We had a brilliant tour group, which is always such a big part of any experience. The terrain and conditions, particularly for the trekking, was quite challenging, so do train and prepare properly if you’re going and make sure you have the right kit. The trip is more than worth it :-). This really was an amazing life experience, thanks so much to all involved.

Love, love, loved it. If you're up for beautiful, remote landscapes, superb guides, great food, traveling light, sleeping in the open, and hard graft then this is the trip for you.

This was an epic trip, a must for the adventurous among us. I have previous hiking experience and also have spent time in the Amazon, so I thought I was fully prepared....wrong! This was the toughest hike I have done. The heat and humidity was always going to be a challenge but the hike itself was on another level to anything I have previously done. I had spent time in the gym working on my cardio, time well spent! But I would also recommend a few good hikes in the weeks leading up to this trip. I made the mistake of not taking hiking poles, I’m not a big fan of them....or rather I wasn’t! They are an essential piece of kit for this hike. Our guides were excellent all the way through this trip, we surely tested their patience!

What an experience! Tough days trekking through pristine jungle, rafting an untamed river, wholesome food cooked on an open fire, and sleeping under the stars. A true adventure in every sense.

Fantastic adventure that will test your grit and determination. Not for the faint of heart or mind but a lot of fun and amazing experiences to be had.

Expect digital detox, challenging terrain, amazing views, extraordinary guides, bring loads of humour and stamina and you will have an adventure of a lifetime. This is not for faint-hearted, and I have done some epic hikes in my life i.e hiking across Iceland and Kilimanjaro climb.

This was a truly amazing experience. The guide team was exceptionally capable, and Colombia was spectacular - such a treat to explore such remote parts. The trekking was physically challenging, and a good level of both fitness and trekking experience is a must. I would not hesitate to do an expedition with Jules and his team again.
