Overall a great experience in the jungle. The accommodation was very clean with no insects in the room - my biggest worry in advance. The excursions are great and depending on the weather adventurous. But that is what I was looking for when booking this ...

If you want to spend time in the jungle - the guides know a lot but you have to ask and the accommodation is fairly basic.
