I’ve wanted to visit the Suri Tribe for quite some time, was unsure about it due to the distance needed to travel to get there.. a friend referred me to... read more baby Jinka. Once we started talking and he laid out an itinerary I was much more confident about pulling the trigger and making it happen. It was such a smooth process, from him picking me up at the airport, to having all the supplies and provisions needed ready to go. His knowledgeable of the route and valley made the trip there a breeze. He is your guide and you realize that immediately, he makes sure you’re comfortable, have everything you need and is very attentive to “my client” as he would say. It was an amazing adventure, he’s does all the leg work, you just sit back and enjoy the views and take in the experience, he was able to answer any question I had. Baby is very good with people, especially the locals, if I had a request he always made it happen. I’ve traveled all over the world and this is one of the best experiences traveling I’ve had. Anyone hesitant about visiting Suri for any reason just touch base with Baby and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Not only was he my guide but now he’s a good friend, I plan on going back again with Baby. Baby has repeat clients for a reason. The trip was a 10/10, if you’re considering making the trip get in touch with Baby Jinka, you won’t regret it.
