5. What is your most popular travel package and why?
Our most popular tour packages are our 7 night Riverboat (hammocks) or Houseboat (simple cabins) programs. These programs included airport transfers IN/OUT, 2 nights hotel in historic Manaus (Brazil) and an all-incluisve 6 day/5 night river and rainforest tour with English-speaking professional guides. They feature boat travel on the Amazon and Negro Rivers and focus on the islands and tributaries of the Anavilhanas Archipelago (a UNESCO site and now a National Park). These small group tours (maximum 8 persons) are true adventure tours because the customer can define what he does every day (and night) with their guides. Our boat-based tours offer more flexibility and variety than any other kind of Amazon tour offered today and represent the most practical way to experience the Amazon rainforest.
6. What is the best compliment you received from a client?
