Carlos Damasceno

My husband and I traveled the Amazon with Carlos Damasceno and his crew of 4 in May 2014 for 10 days. The group was very friendly and dedicated. We felt secure traveling with this group in the vast Amazon river where animals and beauty was everywhere. We just relaxed, ate and explored the river. A small boat allowed us to enter the naturally flooded Amazon and find beautiful birds, landscapes and yes, natives passing by. We saw a sloth swimming in the middle of the Amazon. The pink dolphin was fantastically cute and friendly as it came straight from the middle of the river to say hello and to be petted. There were monkeys of different types everywhere and they made their characteristic sounds. Carlos had several friends along the river including one family in the Amazon forest who welcomed us graciously and we all had lunch together. This friend joined us during small boat rides and walks in the forest to share his experience. Carlos made the trip a personalized trip to us by looking for things that we liked to do and see, for example orchids and natural flowers, fantastic walks in the Amazon forest where he shared with us his knowledge of the forest. We fished piranhas and watched Carlos catch by hand several baby alligators which soon would go back into the water. We brought back around 6 thousand pictures and a lot of great memories. We highly recommend this trip.
