LEONARDO MENDES- OWNER

Hi My name is Leonardo!

I was born and raised in Manaus, Amazon, as a son of a single mother I had to start to fend for myself at an early age.

My story in the tourism business began a long time ago, in 1999, even before I knew it!

From a young age, I always had a big wish to learn English. Learning the language was the first step towards getting me to where I am today!

Soon, I started working with my uncle and developed both my English and business skills with him. Afterwards, and for many years, I worked at top-notch hotels and lodges, which helped me to make progress and improve professionally.

This journey eventually led me to become a Jungle Guide. I finally felt like I was able to fly alone and open my own business, which has been in the market for 13 years already!

Today me and my wife are the owners of this company.

We do our best to enchant our customers!

Come and discover the Amazon with Amazon Amazing Tours!

ANDRÉ FRANÇA- MARKETING HUMAN RELATIONS REP.

Hi, my name is André!

I was born in Manaus but spent most of my childhood in Manicoré, countryside of the Amazon.

As my parents were workaholics I was pretty much raised by my grandparents.

They taught me the importance of many values such as honesty, kindness and comprehension.

I started working with tourism when I was 17 years old, I dreamed of travelling the world, so meeting new cultures was very exciting for me.

After finishing college I quit my work at the airline industry and did a round the world trip. So far I have visited more than 100 countries and territories.

Today I live in Portugal with my fiance. I represent the Amazon Amazing Tours to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
