Puerto Maldonado Obelisk Tours

The property itself is very well built we were surprised we had no issues with bugs inside the room! The view from our room was great also. This was our first time in PM so we didn’t know what to expect, but thought there would be more things to do there for what we paid. We also thought there would be some wild life around! We didn’t see much of anything besides some birds! Luckily there is a wild life sanctuary 5 minute walk from the lodge that allows visual tours of their monkeys for $80 soles. Expect lots of deep mud everywhere! We were there in April which is their dry season but it did rain some every day. The tours “included” with the lodge were sub par and we could have done without. Best day we had was some piranha fishing that we paid extra for and someone came and picked us up 👌 Food was also very bland and not great, they have a set menu/surprise menu each day for the meals and they ring a bell when that food is ready. We found ourselves hungry during the day waiting for that bell 😂, they do have a separate food menu you could pay extra for but was pricey and the town was a good distance away to go get your own snacks/food. Overall it was a relaxing experience as it forces you to slow down… was okay for the end of our very busy Perú trip! Hope this review helps!

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.
