We include free pick up at your hotel to take you to the bus stop on day of transport as well as the bus from The Pampas (Rurrenabaque) to La Paz

2.      Local Bolivian Guides guiding foreigners. 

Our local guides speak Spanish and have a lot of experience in the Amazon. Furthermore in Deep Rainforest we know that guiding is not just showing the way, the guide should know the area, the surroundings, also must be friendly and always be able to be talkative with the group.

3.      Reliability at the time of Booking

You can trust on the day of departure. Once we confirm to you the departure, the tour will leave, NO MATTER WHAT.  

• Jungle Tour is completely operated by Deep Rainforest Tour Operator.

1. REASON ONE.  If you were in Brazil and wanted to see the Amazon rainforest and the wetlands of the Amazon, you would have to fly 2 hrs to the wetlands (Pampas) and after that 3-4 hrs to the Rainforest. Arranging that can take you more than 2 weeks. In Bolivia and especially from La Paz you will be next day exactly at the point where the Rainforest is next to the wetlands (Pampas)
2. REASON TWO Both tours possible in max 6 days.
3. REASON THREE Only Brazil and Bolivia have Pampas and Rainforest, other countries lack one or another.
4. REASON FOUR You came so far away to see the Amazon Rainforest and pampas (wet lands) and you want to appreciate it as much as possible.  Like with no other Company you will get a complete Amazon Tour.

 Come to enjoy it with us!
