I really enjoyed your trip report, Barry; thanks for writing it. I am leaving next week and feel like I haven't researched nearly enough. Your jungle experience sounds intriguing. I left two days unplanned and unbooked and am planning to just wing it. I'm a bit nervous about that but wanted to retain some doing whatever I feel like adventure. I love all the details including all the restaurants you ate at.

Thanks all for your comments. I just got back from a weekend away and will reply now. Regarding the quality of resorts, I think the Posada and Reserva Amazonas might be comparable in quality and experiences. Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, I believe, is a higher-quality and rated rainforest lodge. I am sure that either experience will be great.

If you are feeling rugged and adventurous, and not afraid to get a little dirty, then I would highly recommend the jungle experience!

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Awesome report, thanks, doing almost an identical trip on April 15th.
