点评:I booked a 3-day, 2-night Amazon tour and paid for a room with private bathroom and AC, but upon arrival, I was given a shared room with two other people. I tried contacting both the tour agency (Amazon Amazing Tours) and the lodge (Ipanema Guest House), but there was a lot of back-and-forth miscommunication. At one point, the lodge even suggested I sleep in the jungle instead, which was uncomfortable, poorly organized, and full of mosquitoes.
The tour itself has some incredible experiences—the Amazon scenery, wildlife, fishing, dolphins, BBQ in the forest, and visiting a local family were all highlights. The local family interaction was the best part, giving a glimpse into real life in the forest, including trying local fruits, playing soccer, and seeing their school.
That said, the tour is extremely disorganized. You spend a lot of free time waiting at the lodge, and the schedule seems random. Activities like watching sunset or sunrise are rigidly scheduled regardless of weather, so for my group, we only saw clouds. Guides often tried to redirect me to different activities or back to the forest, rather than letting me join the group as planned. Everything is handled with pen and paper instead of digital organization, which feels outdated.
Some additional notes:
Lodge WiFi costs 10 BR per day
Animal sightings are pure luck
Overall, while the Amazon itself is amazing, the tour and accommodation experience was disappointing. If you’re booking this tour, make sure your private room is confirmed in writing, speak Portuguese if possible, and be prepared for a lack of organization. I would recommend looking for a more professional tour operator or lodge to fully enjoy the Amazon.
翻译:我预订了一个三天两夜的亚马逊之旅,并支付了带独立卫浴和空调的房间费用。然而,抵达后却被安排与另外两人合住一间房。我尝试联系旅行社(Amazon Amazing Tours)和旅馆(Ipanema Guest House),但双方沟通不畅,导致沟通出现诸多误会。旅馆甚至一度建议我睡在丛林里,这不仅不舒服,而且组织混乱,蚊子也很多。
不过,这次旅行本身确实有一些令人难忘的体验——亚马逊的壮丽景色、野生动物、钓鱼、海豚、森林烧烤以及拜访当地家庭都是亮点。与当地家庭的互动是整个行程中最精彩的部分,让我得以一窥森林中的真实生活,包括品尝当地水果、踢足球以及参观他们的学校。
尽管如此,这次旅行的组织安排却极其混乱。大部分自由时间都浪费在旅馆等待上,行程安排也显得毫无章法。像观赏日落或日出这样的活动,无论天气如何都严格按照预定时间进行,因此我们这组只能看到云。导游经常试图把我引到其他活动或带我回到森林里,而不是让我按计划加入团队。所有事情都用纸笔记录,而不是数字化管理,感觉很过时。
一些补充说明:
旅馆的无线网络每天收费 10 巴西雷亚尔。
能否看到动物完全取决于运气。
总的来说,虽然亚马逊本身很壮观,但这次旅行和住宿体验令人失望。如果您预订了这次旅行,请务必确保您的私人房间有书面确认,如果可能的话,最好会说葡萄牙语,并做好应对组织混乱的准备。我建议您寻找更专业的旅行社或旅馆,以便更好地享受亚马逊之旅。
