Good expérience

It was the experience of the best in my life. Amazing people, with a big heart who just want to do good in this world. The animals are amazing and came to the best house you could ask for. If I had the option I would do it again!
For anyone looking for some new adventure and getting to know nature more. It's just the place. You learn a lot of new things, about the environment in Peru, whether it's schools, the animals there, about life itself in Iquitos. I finished my trip there after six months, and it was no doubt an amazing summary for my trip. I've connected to so many good people there❤️🙏🏽
