Remarkable jungle trip. I booked the tour from their office in Cusco and I was very much convinced the way Richard explained everything in detail. The price was comparatively quite nice than a couple of other operators who offered this tour around the ain square. This company really took care of everything from transport and food to a very professional tour guide and serene accommodations in the jungle. It was very much an authentic experience. Highly reccomend.
