I had recently completed the Viva Mexico tour that departed on 20th July and was led by the awesome Vitor. The tour was awesome from day 1 and well organized and run with the perfect mix of culture and relax time. The group was great and I was fully able to enjoy my time in Mexico.

The timing, the excursions and activities, the restaurants, accommodations and travels were all so amazing, and there was never a dull moment. No wait I take that back. The dull moments is when we went to bed. I never wanted the day to end and I never wanted this trip to end. From the ceo to the new friends I made in our group, it was absolutely amazing. The wildlife, the beaches, the food, the parties, the home stay, I can’t even get started on the home stay. What a wholesome moment. The families were so sweet and welcoming. I wanted to thank G Adventures and I wanted to especially thank Aaron, our ceo for always being organized and making this tour educational and fun.

It’s been my dream to visit the Amazon rainforest since I was 10 years old, and this tour truly didn’t disappoint! From the friendliest staff & guides who all went above and beyond to please me, to the magnificent nature and wildlife all around, it was everything I hoped it would be, and more! Accommodation: Clean and comfortable en-suite rooms, with mosquito nets so you don’t have to bring your own. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature so provides the ideal Amazonian experience (eg don’t expect a 5 star hotel on a trip like this!) The communal area is lovely, with hammocks perfect for relaxing or reading a book. There are plenty of beautiful trails around the lodge to walk around in your free time too. Activities: The activities were SO much fun! I saw so many different types of animals and insects, and the guides were so knowledgeable and passionate which was contagious! I learnt so much and feel much more connected to nature after my trip. The sun set tower, zip line and adventure course are a bit sketchy, and quite basic but do the job and if you like adrenaline and aren’t a health & safety freak, you’ll love it (like me!). The parrot clay lick is from afar so you don’t get to see the parrots up close (you need binoculars) and it’s not always that they lick the clay, but you’ll for sure see 100’s flying round - just to manage expectations. All the activities provided a unique view and experience of the Amazon - I highly recommend this itinerary. We didn’t have a campfire sadly, and I was hoping for more Amazon legends stories told. You’ll need to be flexible with the itinerary as it’s best to capitalise on when the weather is good for the activities - eg we finished all our activities on day 3, so day 4 i just chilled on the hammocks and went for a walk on my own (went on the canopy & sunset tower again as they were such peaceful areas) which I enjoyed after the busy few days! Food: The food was always plenty and definitely made with love ❤️ Communication: It was super easy to contact Lucho via whatsapp! He responds quickly, and makes sure that the schedule all runs on time. I highly recommend this experience!

We loved the variety of experiences. No two hotels or activities were quite the same and it was a great balance. We thought the first week was a bit better than the second week, but that's just us. Tortuguero and the nature around La Fortuna and Rio Celeste are hard to match. I'm sure birders will be very satisfied with this tour. We like doing our own thing and are pleased that we often have time to explore on our own. G Adventures, we'll be back.

The trail was epic ! The best experience of my life ! Our guide Lucy managed logistics very well. She was knowledgeable and kept us moving together well. Our chef, Wenceslao needs to be crowned as the star of the trip. I’m vegan and he made me food that exceeded any expectations and beyond. How he made such delicious meals on top of a mountain baffles me. Shout out to all the porters of #5 for their superhero power of getting our gear up the mountains.

GAdventures offer all you need for a convenient and safe vacation time. The sceneries during this tour are quite diverse and always breathtaking. Palenque was my highlight. I highly recommend a jungle hike in the early morning (with termites for breakfast!) and a swim in the waterfalls in the afternoon.
