We are specialised Operators in the Jungle

In Deep Rainforest we know that the people working for us should know very well the area they work in.

In the range of 20 years as guides we had the possibility to explore 90% of the amazon Rainforest of Bolivia. In Deep Rainforest we like what we do and that’s why we want you to enjoy it with us.

Local Bolivian Guides guiding foreigners.

Our local guides speak Spanish and have a lot of experience in the Amazon Rainforest. In Deep Rainforest we know that guiding is not just showing the way, the guide should know very well the area, the surroundings, be friendly and always be able to be talkative with the group. You will feel like family and safe in good hands.
