Victor is an owner of Yaku Amazon Lodge and a native of the Amazon.\u00a0 He was born and raised in the\u00a0Aucayacu Village, which is located along the Ucayali River that feeds into the\u00a0Amazon River.\u00a0 Leaving the village at age 16 for Iquitos to serve in the Army was his chance to expand his opportunities.\u00a0 However, he always remained passionate about the desire to share the wonders of the rainforest with others.\u00a0 Thus, he learned survivor skills in the Army, English at a Language Studies school, worked as a Naturalist at several jungle lodges and on luxury Amazon cruise boats sharing his love of the jungle with people from all over the world including celebrities.\u00a0 After acquiring 18 years of experience, Victor began building Yaku Amazon Lodge & Expeditions.\u00a0 His dream became reality with Yaku Amazon for guests to experience the flora and fauna of the rainforest, while also preserving and protecting the Amazon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the animals, the forest and the local people.\u00a0 As an United States public school science teacher with a Biology background, Julie knew this was an experience to be shared with students and adults.\u00a0 She found herself returning to the Amazon two to three times a year, to capture more photos and videos, and to learn more about the flora, fauna, and villages to continue to share with others the beauty and importance of conserving the Amazon.\u00a0 Julie learned of the dream of building Yaku Amazon and helped them to create a unique and special place where people have a once in a lifetime experience while learning about the importance of the Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″
