On Independent Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Tuuur partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.

Rooms at the lodge are simple but comfortable open-air dwellings. There are flushing toilets, showers, and mosquito nets provided over the beds. As the rooms are open-air, they are open to the jungle. Lodge staff are primarily local, including the multilingual guides who can teach you all about the area's rich flora and fauna.

Electricity is only available in the evening/nights.

Depending on the number of guests staying at the lodge, meals may be provided in either set menu or buffet style.

As we offer daily departures of this trip, we may need to use an alternative lodge occasionally. In this case, you’ll be advised prior to travel.

The Amazon Jungle can be very hot and humid, so it's important to drink plenty of water and wear light cotton clothing. Make sure you also bring tropical-strength insect repellent. The increased temperature and humidity is also the reason why hot water is not provided or needed for showers.

This trip includes a full day's walk in the jungle. Even though the paths are well defined, this still requires a reasonable level of fitness, and sturdy walking shoes or light hiking boots are essential. The lodge will provide you with gumboots in the wet season.
