Summary:
As an avid travel and adventure enthusiast I can honestly say this trip was unlike anything I’ve ever done. Our guides Wilson and Wellington were incredible. Their knowledge of the jungle was mind blowing and they were always smiling and helpful. To stay in Yusani is a chance to submerse yourself in the most raw version of nature there is. The biodiversity here can’t be captured in a picture or a review, it can only be experienced. I will be forever grateful for this trip.
