KENRICK LACRUZ

I would absolutely recommend Kenrick as a guide to anyone visiting the amazon! My girlfriend and I recently booked a trip to Manati Lodge on the Rio Negro where we met Kenrick who was our guide, translator and travel buddy. He was very professional, knowledgeable and was also a lot of fun to hang out with, which is an important quality if you're going to be spending a few days together.

We're english speakers, don't speak any protuguese and only a little bit of spanish. Kenrick is a native english speaker and also knows portuguese and spanish. We difinitely got way more out of our trip because of his top notch communication skills.

While our visit to the Amazon was mainly based around the lodge, I know that Kenrick also really loves to do longer guided kayak/hiking tours in more remote areas of the rain forest which we're now considering coming back for because we had such a nice experience with him. 

If you like hot sauce, ask him about his amazon strawberry juice!
