Part of the tour we went on also stayed at the main settlement one night, can't remember if it was before or after the boat trip to the falls.

Would you recommend the 1 night in hammocks tour (sounds a bit 'communal'), or 2 nights in hammocks, or a place with beds (Jungle Rudy - I think it's called)? Can't work out what's best - it's all a bit confusing there seems to be loads of different options from different companies, and I'm a bit worried about carrying around so much money with the safety problems etc...

Me and two other friends of mine are planning a trip there next month. We are all freaking out of their safety situation. Will you tell me which city you had stayed in the hostel where you found the tour? and is there any website you recommend to find the hostels and destinations?

Didn't seem like it was necessary to book in advance, though we we're there at a different time of year. Can't remember the name of the hostel, will try and dig it out.

Can you remember the name of the tour you joined and would you recommend it? Ciao ciao, Julie Hi Ben,
