There is truly nothing else like the Marañón. It’s a unique experience, a river that welcomes you into its incredible canyons and takes you somewhere that feels completely different from anywhere else in the world. And then there’s Luigi. He is one of those people who make an expedition truly special. A magical person, and honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better one to have by your side on a river like this. So much of the work behind the expedition, both before and during the trip, is thanks to him. His knowledge of the river, the logistics, the people and everything that comes with running an expedition in such a remote place is simply hard to match. You can feel how much experience he has in every little detail. The Marañón itself is incredible, but having Luigi there made the whole experience even more special. Without a doubt, one of the best river expeditions I’ve ever had the chance to be part of anywhere in the world. Thank you, Luigi. VIVA MARAÑON LIBRE

Our expedition to Peru was an extraordinary journey in every possible way, leaving us with unforgettable memories of breathtaking places and incredible experiences. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly Luigi. His passion is truly rare, and it was a privilege to experience his unique perspective on the Marañón River. With genuine enthusiasm and deep insight, he didn't just show us the natural habitat—he connected us with the local communities and the beating heart of the region. This was a deeply enriching and unforgettable journey. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking true adventure and authenticity!

Very nice experience . Luigi , Gigia e Riccardo are fantastic people . Thanks for all .

The kayak descent of the “Golden Serpent” with the support of the Maranon Experience team was fantastic in every respect: well-maintained equipment, clear and precise instructions for tackling the most challenging rapids, short treks to discover the natural beauty along the route, lunches prepared by the rural communities living along the river, and encounters with local people who make their living from agriculture and gold prospecting. The evening camps were another highlight, with dinners prepared by Luigi and his team, who did an excellent job of satisfying the not-so-easy tastes of us Italians. It was a true adventure into the wilderness which, according to those who have experienced both, has nothing to envy the famous descent of the Grand Canyon.

grazie per la fantastica esperienza, in ambiente selvaggio e immerso nel vero Perù, il viaggio nel rio Maranion ha una ottima organizzazione, luoghi interessanti ed emozionanti, grazie a Gigi e tutto lo staff
