Amazon Rainforest Lodge

The property was unique and eclectic but did not look like the pictures online. When we arrived it did seem remote and isolated, a rainforest description is very accurate. The food and drinks were pretty good but you have limited options. I would definitely order a few Pisco Sours.

Facility tours/ property, routine schedules, and lack of amenities. The tours were average. We asked not to visit the local village people and were taken to the village anyway. We went to a location called “piranha park”, and were given a wooden stick while our guide cut chicken to fish in a little boat. The worst part was it was a man made waterhole with Monkeys in the middle. Most of the animals due to safety were visited at near by locations. Beyond the tours, the pictures of the location are very dated. If I had to be completely candid it looked like a rundown old kids camp. It featured really odd kid type amenities. Food was provided at specific times; 8am, 1pm & 7pm and was buffet style. You didn’t get many options so being open minded is a must. Amenities were minimal. You had to pay for WiFi by the hour. I would highly recommend the hotel invests or figures out a way to include this in the cost of the stay because it’s ridiculous to have to pay to get a temporary code. Lastly and most importantly, if you read nothing else, please do your research on traveling to Iquitos. It is beautiful but ensure you get the right medical consult before you come to the Amazon. Malaria and other infectious disease are serious potentials. Look into the surrounding area to understand what location would be best for your rainforest trip.
