The Amazon Jungle Guide

Gerson Pizango

About us

Gerson’s business is solely driven by recommendations and that’s where we come in. We are Kirsty and Alex and have been lucky enough to travel extensively, recently returning from a 14 month trip starting in South America. The Amazon was always a huge focus of our trip and we were keen to have an experience that was authentic, unique and tailored to our needs, so researched it thoroughly and discovered numerous blogs raving about Gerson as a jungle guide.

The biggest pull was that Gerson was not part of a larger organisation; he was from the jungle and so knew it inside out. We have done many tours and trips over the years and have hired many guides and Gerson is without doubt one of the best!
