I had a wonderful time. Daniel, our guide, is very knowledgeable about birds and had planned our tour so we would be at the right place at the right time to photograph them. Daniel also could help with all questions regarding cameras and gear. The hotels and lodges we stayed at were all excellent, good service and plenty of good and beautifully prepared food.

This was a well-planned trip, where we were able to make the most of every minute, see wonderful wildlife and enjoy the company of our group. Daniel is fun to travel with and the local guides and our driver were also an integral part of our experience. The lodgings were much finer than I expected and the food was an adventure in eating. Thanks so much!

Our mother/son journey to the Ecuadorian Amazon with Photo Wildlife Tours was truly the trip of a lifetime — and one we will cherish forever. From the very first conversation with the Photo Wildlife Tours team, we felt supported and understood. They designed an experience that perfectly balanced adventure, comfort, and meaningful connection. The Ecuadorian Amazon itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. Our guide (Jaime) was extraordinary: deeply knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about the rainforest. What made this trip especially meaningful was how intentional Photo Wildlife Tours was about creating shared experiences. Whether we were quietly paddling through the river, checking out photos at the end of the day, or learning about local communities and conservation efforts, every moment felt immersive and personal. As a parent, there is something incredibly special about stepping away from daily life and experiencing awe side by side with your child. This trip gave us uninterrupted time, real adventure, and stories we’ll be telling for the rest of our lives. If you are considering an Amazon experience — especially one centered around photography, wildlife, and authentic connection — we cannot recommend Photo Wildlife Tours highly enough. They don’t just plan trips; they create memories.

Javier’s deep knowledge of photography greatly enhanced our experience, and we learned a tremendous amount under his guidance. He took us to exceptional locations, and the bird photography opportunities were truly amazing. Every detail of the tour was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to focus entirely on photography and enjoyment. The food throughout the trip was excellent, and everyone we met along the way was warm and welcoming. We had an amazing experience overall and would highly recommend Javier to anyone interested in a high-quality photography tour. Jennifer
