with James
15 Years of Jungle Expertise. Authentic jungle tours in Iquitos led by experienced local guide James.
Meet James

Born and raised in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, James has lived the jungle his entire life. Guided by his grandfather—a traditional healer—he learned early to understand the rainforest's plants, animals, and hidden rhythms.
James later studied medicine in the United States for four years, developing a strong focus on safety, care, and responsibility. Yet his heart belonged in the Amazon, where his passion for wildlife and nature truly comes alive.
With over 15 years of guiding experience, James combines medical knowledge, deep jungle expertise, and calm leadership to create safe, authentic, and unforgettable jungle tours. Guests feel welcomed, protected, and inspired from the first step into the rainforest.
Explore the Amazon with someone who truly knows it—and genuinely cares. 🌿
“The Amazon isn't just where I work—it's my home, my teacher, and my greatest passion. I want every guest to feel the same connection I have with this incredible place.”

What Our Travelers Say
Real experiences from adventurers who explored the Amazon with James

"James is probably the best guide I have ever had the joy of being on a tour with. One thing is that he is genuinely interested about the Jungle, be it its medicinal plants, its animals, but also the different legends coming from the people of this magical place. During his tours you will be well taken care of (more like traveling with a father than a guide) and he is so patient - I think I have asked him about 50000 questions, especially about the birds and he asked them all proficiently and with a smile on his face! During some additional ceremonies that I booked on a tour with James, there was a point where I was not feeling well and really needed some help and he was there when I needed him and I will for sure always appreciate him for that! PS: Really hope I can come back and do this full-on-stay-in-the-jungle experience with you at a point, James! Thanks for everything!"

"Together with a friend, I booked a three-day jungle tour with James. During these three days, we saw and did an incredible amount of things. We saw a sloth, a baby alligator, an anaconda, monkeys, and dolphins. Not everything went according to plan, because in the jungle you can’t plan when or what you will see. However, if we hadn’t seen something, James always did his utmost the next day to go out and search for the animal. In addition, James is an incredibly friendly, calm, and knowledgeable guide. Right in the heart of the jungle, I never once felt unsafe. I would highly recommend booking a tour with James!"

"The experience we had in the Amazon jungle with James was incredible. He did his very best to share all of his knowledge with us and taught us so many things. We could talk freely with him and ask any questions we had. He is also extremely skilled at spotting wildlife: we were lucky enough to see a baby sloth, an anaconda, a caiman, tarantulas, and more. He allowed us to observe them up close while always treating them with great respect. I can only recommend this experience—it was my favorite part of Peru."

"James was the most amazing tour guide for myself and my friend when we visited Peru for 2 months in early 2025. He arranged trips for us to the Amazon jungle, Machu Picchu and a plant medicine retreat and accompanied us as a guide and interpreter. We could not have asked for a better guide and he soon became a friend; our tour was so great that my daughter and another friend from the UK joined us for the last few weeks. His knowledge of plants and animals is outstanding and he was able to connect us with local custom and people in a way we could otherwise never have experienced. He is honest and trustworthy and helped us arrange trips in a more economical way to suit our needs. He is a very intelligent perceptive and friendly man and you will have an amazing experience with him as your guide. I have a lot of experience of travel and highly recommend his services."
