Amazon Kidnapping Exposes Tour Company's Failures

Amazon Kidnapping Exposes Tour Company's Negligence A family vacation in the Peruvian Amazon turned into a nightmare when they were kidnapped at gunpoint by four armed men. The incident, which occurred on May 19th, 2025, involved 14 people, including three children and elderly individuals. The family booked their tour through Canopy Tours Iquitos. "Nos retuvieron, nos quitaron todo y nos obligaron a transferir nuestros ahorros mientras nos apuntaban con armas." (They held us, took everything, and forced us to transfer our savings while pointing guns at us.) said the victim in the video. The family's ordeal lasted over an hour. Their boat was intercepted, and they were taken deep into the jungle. The attackers stole their belongings and threatened further harm if they didn't transfer money. Canopy Tours Iquitos was notified of the incident only after a significant delay, highlighting a serious lack of safety protocols and communication. The guide's admission that this wasn't the first incident adds further concern. Authorities are investigating the matter, and the family's story serves as a warning to other tourists about the importance of verifying safety measures before booking tours in remote areas.
