The magic of the tropical forest in Iquitos
We are pleased to present to you our lovely lodge in the heart of the Peruvian jungle: THE AMAZON RAINFOREST on the slow moving Momon river, which is a tributary of the Nanay river which leads into the mighty Amazon. The journey from the port of the city of Iquitos to the lodge is just 45 minutes by boat.
Come and join us for an unforgettable trip into the Amazon rainforest. Stay for a few days and nights and enjoy the feeling of being at one with nature with all the creature comforts. Our private English speaking guide accompanies each group.We visit three indigenous tribes in the area (Yaguas, Jibaros, Boras) and trek through the rainforest to observe the fauna and flora (please see our detailed list for all the activities).
The AMAZON RAINFOREST LODGE has 22 large bungalows with private bathrooms; all bungalows are interconnected by wooden covered walkways.We have our own kitchen, restaurant, bar, large swimming pool, monkeys, parrots, macaws and other animals and two lookout towers with a wonderful view. Our skilled chef prepares delicious local specialties from food grown in the area.
