There are many popular points to start an organised jungle trip like Iquitas in Peru. Tena and Misahalli in Equador and Rurrenabaque in Bolivia. Rurrenabaque is the base of the cheapest trip. It is about US$50 for 2days, 1 night. All these places are easy to reach by land, offers accomodations in jungle lodges and establish routes down river and into the forest. There are other starting points alsobut they have less infrastructure and fewer tourists but very similar environment like Letica in Colombia (no road access), Puerto Ayacucho on Venezuela border with colombia and Puerto Maldonado in Peru. There are several National Park close to Puerto Maldonado like the Tambopato Condamo Reserve Zone and manu Biosphere Reserve. They are the region which are most biodiverse on earth and also they are absent from city noise and light. This makes them perfect place to experience atmosphere of jungle.
