An adventurous experience on the Napo River all the way to Peru
Amazon Travel的点评
点评：I took part in the 6-day/5-night expedition tour from El Coca to Iquitos from September 7 to September 12. Below, I’d like to share my experience and hope it helps future travelers:
Booking Process:
Since I was traveling alone, I sent an inquiry about a tour that had already been confirmed so I could join a group. Since there weren’t any available during the dates I requested, they kindly offered to run and organize the tour just for me, which I really appreciate! I paid the total amount for the tour in advance via bank transfer.
Tour Itinerary:
After confirming my arrival in El Coca, the tour began the following day. My guide picked me up from my lodging, and I received a brief briefing at the office.
That same day, we set out with another group to visit a local community. After a short canoe ride, we checked into a beautiful lodge there and went on two short walks (one during the day and one at night).
On the second day, we set out by boat together with the other group to visit a clay wall, hike to an observation tower, and visit an observation shelter to watch a clay lick.
After lunch, we were picked up by a public transport boat, and the guide and I continued on our own to Rocafuerte, where we took care of the exit stamp and checked into a hostel.
On the third day, after breakfast, we were picked up by our guide, who was in charge of meals and transportation for the next two days. After driving to Laguna Jatuncocha and observing wildlife there, we drove to another community on the Cocaya River, where we had dinner and set up our tents. In the evening, we went out on a boat to observe nocturnal animals, especially caimans.
On the fourth day, before breakfast, we watched river dolphins passing by for a short while; afterward, we took an extended boat trip to another lagoon, which included fishing. After lunch, we drove a short distance to Cabo Pantoja, where we took care of our entry stamps for Peru and exchanged money before our guide and escort said goodbye to me and returned to Ecuador.
On the fifth day, I set out early on the transport boat to Santa Clotilde. After about a 14-hour boat ride, I arrived in Santa Clotilde late in the evening.
On the sixth day, we also set out early in the morning for Mazan. There, after a short ride in a motorized taxi, we changed boats before continuing on to Iquitos (arrival around noon).
Staff:
Both the manager during the booking process and the guide and support staff were consistently friendly and helpful.
The guide, in particular, as my primary contact and the only English speaker on the tour (I don't speak Spanish), led me well. He provided me with excellent information for every activity, was himself passionate about wildlife observation, and always made sure I enjoyed the activities and had a diverse experience on my first rainforest tour.
I can't comment on the wildlife sightings during the activities, as neither the guide nor the organization can influence or guarantee them.
Food:
The food, whether at the community center or in the local restaurant, was always plentiful and, although simple, consistently delicious. Our support person from day three onward, in particular, cooked incredibly tasty meals with very basic ingredients.
Accommodation:
Day 1: Beautifully situated community lodge, lovely, spacious bungalows with running water, temporary electricity, and Wi-Fi; very friendly hosts (favorite of the tour)
Day 2: Hostel room with running water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and a fan (quite useful for drying clothes)
Day 3: Covered campsite at the community lodge with bathrooms, running water, electricity, and Wi-Fi
Day 4: Very basic hostel room, electricity and running water available from 6:00 PM
Day 5: Very basic hostel room, electricity also temporary; running water available upon arrival
Communication and Organization:
The itinerary provided states a 6-day tour to Iquitos. I only became aware that the guide and assistant would be returning to Ecuador around noon on day 4, after only 3.5 days, shortly before the tour started during the briefing (mentioned in passing by the guide). After reviewing my emails following the tour, I saw that it was initially described as a 4-day guided tour. I would recommend that the company communicate this process more proactively and clearly during the booking process. To be honest, this wasn't entirely clear to me until shortly before the tour started.
Therefore, it wasn't a 6-day guided tour, but rather a 3.5-day guided tour and a 2.5-day self-guided tour with the company pre-arranging transportation and accommodations. On the fourth day, I was given money back to pay for these.
Value for money:
Of the nearly $1300 USD, I received roughly $125 USD back on day 4 for accommodations, transportation, water, and food from Cabo Pantoja to Iquitos. This totals $1175 USD, plus a total of $65 USD for the Observation Tower, Clay Lick, the lagoon, and dolphin watching (these were not included in the price and were not communicated beforehand). In total, $1240 USD for a 3.5-day guided tour, plus administrative costs for the pre-organization of days 4-6. Personally, I think that's too high a price. Especially since it was a very basic trip and not a tour in one of the luxurious eco-lodges (which I appreciate; this is simply a matter of assessing the value for money).
On the other hand, it was a very remote area (primarily due to logistical challenges), and the tour was essentially organized for me alone.
Conclusion:
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the activities up to day 4. I felt comfortable and well looked after by the guide and accompanying person throughout. As a solo traveler who doesn't speak Spanish, you should just be aware of the schedule for the last 2.5 days.
Personally, I also think that the service provided is not entirely disproportionate to the price paid. However, this is only a personal opinion.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize once again that I am reporting solely on my own experiences, and that the activities and the areas visited were generally very beautiful, and the staff very friendly.
Overall, it was an adventurous experience that, despite the points mentioned, I wouldn't want to have missed in retrospect.
I would give it 3.5/5 stars if that were possible.

翻译：我于9月7日至12日参加了从埃尔科卡到伊基托斯的6天5夜探险之旅。下面我想分享一下自己的体验，希望能为后来的旅友们提供一些参考：
预订流程：
由于我是独自旅行，我便询问了是否有已经确定成行、我可以加入的旅行团。在我指定的日期内并没有合适的团期，但他们贴心地为我单独组织了这次旅行，对此我深表感激！我通过银行转账提前支付了旅游的全部费用。
旅游行程：
在我抵达埃尔科卡并得到确认后，旅游活动于次日开始。导游到我的住处接我，随后我在办公室听取了简单的行程介绍。
当天，我们与另一组游客一同前往参观当地的一个社区。乘独木舟航行一小段距离后，我们入住了一家非常漂亮的旅馆，并进行了两次短途徒步旅行（一次在白天，一次在夜晚）。
第二天，我们与其他团队一起乘船出发，去参观黏土墙、徒步前往观景塔，还去观景亭观看动物舔食黏土的场景。
午餐后，我们搭乘公共交通船，随后导游和我独自继续前往罗卡富尔特。在那里我们办理了离境盖章手续并入住旅舍。
第三天早餐后，负责接下来两天饮食与交通事宜的导游来接我们。驱车抵达拉古纳·哈图科查并观察了那里的野生动物后，我们又前往科卡亚河畔的另一个村落，在那里用晚餐并搭起帐篷。傍晚时分，我们乘船外出观察夜行性动物，尤其是凯门鳄。
第四天，早餐前我们短暂观看了江豚游过的景象；随后我们乘船前往另一个泻湖，途中还进行了垂钓。午饭后，我们又驱车短途前往坎波潘托哈。在那里，我们办理了进入秘鲁所需的入境盖章手续并兑换了货币。随后，我们的导游和护送人员向我道别，返回了厄瓜多尔。
第五天，我早早地搭乘运输船前往圣克洛蒂尔德。经过约14小时的航程后，我在深夜时分抵达了圣克洛蒂尔德。
第六天，我们同样一大早就出发前往马桑。在那里乘坐片刻机动出租车后，我们换乘另一艘船，继续向伊基托斯前进（中午左右抵达）。工作人员：
从预订过程中的经理，到导游及辅助人员，大家都始终友好且乐于助人。
尤其是导游，作为我的主要联络人且是此次旅行中唯一会说英语的人（我不会说西班牙语），他很好地引导了我。他为我提供了每项活动的相关信息，本人也对野生动物观察充满热情；他始终确保我在第一次热带雨林之旅中能够尽情享受各项活动并获得丰富的体验。关于活动期间能否看到野生动物，我无法发表评论，因为无论是导游还是组织方都无法控制或保证这一点。
餐饮方面：
无论是在社区中心还是当地餐馆，食物都十分丰盛；虽然口味较为简单，但始终十分美味。尤其是从第三天开始负责照顾我们的工作人员，他即便只用最普通的食材也能做出极其可口的饭菜。
住宿方面：
第一天：坐落于风景优美之处的社区旅舍，非常不错。空间宽敞的平房，配有自来水、临时供电及无线网络；房东极为友善（此行中最喜欢的住宿点）
第2天：旅舍房间内有自来水、电力供应、无线网络以及风扇（用来晾干衣物非常实用）
第3天：社区旅舍内的有顶棚的露营地，配有卫生间、自来水、电力供应及无线网络
第4天：极其简陋的旅舍房间，从下午6点起才供应电力和自来水
第5天：极其简陋的旅舍房间。电力也是临时供应的；抵达后可有自来水使用。
沟通与组织方面：
所提供的行程单上写明是为期6天的伊基托斯之旅。直到行程开始前的说明会上（导游顺带提及），我才得知导游和助手会在第4天中午左右返回厄瓜多尔，此时实际游玩时间仅为3天半。行程结束后我查看邮件才发现，最初该行程被描述为为期4天的导游陪同之旅。我建议公司在预订流程中更主动、更清晰地向客户说明这一流程。说实话，直到旅行开始前不久我才完全明白是怎么回事。
实际上，这并非一次为期6天的跟团游，而是一次3.5天的跟团游加上2.5天的自助游，公司会事先安排好交通与住宿。第四天时，他们把相关费用退还给了我。
性价比：
在近1300美元的花费中……在第4天，我收到了大约125美元的费用返还，这一金额用于支付从卡博潘托哈到伊基托斯的住宿、交通、水和食品开支。这样一来，总费用就达到了1175美元。此外，还有65美元用于参观观景塔、吸泥鸟栖息地、泻湖以及观赏海豚（这些项目并未包含在原定价格中，事先也未有告知）。综合算下来，一次为期3天半的导游服务总费用为1240美元，这还不包括为安排第4至6天的行程而产生的行政费用。就我个人而言，我觉得这个价格实在偏高。毕竟这只是一次非常基础的旅行，并非入住那些豪华生态旅舍的旅行体验（其实我很欣赏那种旅行方式；只不过这里需要衡量一下性价比而已）。
另一方面，那个地区极其偏僻（主要是因为交通不便），这次旅行实际上是为我一个人专门安排的。
总结：
总的来说，前四天的行程及各项活动都让我乐在其中。整个过程中，导游和陪同人员都对我照顾有加，让我感觉十分安心。作为一名不会说西班牙语的独行旅客，你只需要留意最后2.5天的行程安排即可。
就我个人而言，我也认为所提供的服务与所支付的价格并不完全不成比例。不过，这只是我的个人看法。
最后，我想再次强调：我所描述的完全是基于我自己的亲身经历；所游览的景点和活动总体上都非常美丽，工作人员也极为友善。
总的来说，这是一次充满冒险色彩的体验；尽管存在一些不足之处，但回过头来看，我并不希望错过它。
如果可以打分的话，我会给它3.5/5颗星。
