9.2/10 Wonderful! (7 reviews)

24/7 electricity as well as WiFi which many other properties didn’t have. Close to the city but still in the jungle. Pool. Good excursions and tour guides. Dog on site who lives at the property. Good meals.

10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)

True jungle experience. Brought in on long covered top boat, must walk on mud steps to get from boat to real steps. Cabins are rustic with screen windows. Bed covered in mosquito netting. Cold showers. Power on 6-9 pm, which was fine bc you go to sleep early. Meals were quite good. Our guide, Marcello, provided by the lodge, was excellent. He saw a myriad of bugs and animals we never would have spotted. Marcello very knowledgeable, made our trip. He took us out on a boat for piranha fishing and a canoe ride another night for animal spotting and sunset views. We saw macaws, white caiman, toucan, otters, tarantula, howler monkeys, capybaras. Really great experience after the four day inka hike to Machu Picchu.
