Purpose
We are children of the rainforest, and as a team we want you to leave with an unforgettable memory
The team is one of the core pillars of Amazon Jungle Trips. They welcome travelers, prepare meals, guide rainforest walks, interpret the sounds of the jungle, navigate the boats, and share the real life of the Amazon with those who come to visit.
People from the territory
Amazon Jungle Trips exists thanks to a dedicated team of people who know the territory and are committed to offering an authentic rainforest experience.
Some team members have been connected to the project for more than 20 years; others have joined more recently, bringing new skills to the service.
Marcos Mori, affectionately known as Michael, has been part of the project for approximately 16 years. He is one of the main references of Amazon Jungle Trips and has deep knowledge of the rainforest.
Michaels knowledge comes from a life tied to the territory and from ancestral experience passed down by his grandparents, who regularly traveled through the rainforest. Since childhood, he took part in long walks and learned to recognize paths, animal behavior, sounds, and signs of the forest.
Over the years, Michael has developed the ability to share that knowledge in a sincere, real, and approachable way. His presence is essential to showing the rainforest authentically.
Acela Oroche is from the region, has family in Iquitos, and is a fundamental part of the lodges culinary experience. For years, she has specialized in the traditional cuisine served to visitors.
His cooking blends flavors from Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, reflecting the richness of the Amazon triple border.
Through her cooking, she shares regional knowledge, tradition, and care for food. Visitors often highlight and especially recommend the meals she prepares.
