Monica Montes

Hello, I’m Mónica Montes

Since 2007, I’ve dedicated my career to sales, starting at a travel agency where I offered services like the Inca Trail and alternative routes. A year later, I began working with Rainforest Expeditions, selling experiences through travel agencies. By 2010, I transitioned to working directly with clients.

 

My journey has been enriched by my experience as a guide and Lodge Manager, which has allowed me to deeply connect with our travelers. While I enjoy assisting all types of clients, I have a special connection with families. I love offering them a personalized experience, starting by listening to what they are looking for and designing a journey that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.

 

My main motivation is my love for the Amazon rainforest and the mission we have at Rainforest Expeditions. Here, we don’t just offer trips; we create transformative educational experiences that leave a positive impact on conservation efforts. I’m proud to be an ambassador for Tambopata and its incredible biodiversity, using my experience to craft trips that highlight the importance of preserving this unique destination.

 

Over the years, I’ve collected countless memorable moments. One that stands out is when clients finally fulfilled their dream of visiting Tambopata after the pandemic and fell in love with the place. Another was a guest who, inspired by our work with Wired Amazon, decided to contribute donations to support our conservation projects.

 

In my free time, my greatest passion is dancing—a hobby that I feel connects directly to my work. Movement brings joy, and my goal is for every trip I design to do the same. The sounds of the forest are like music, helping people find a profound connection with themselves.
