Martin and his team were absolutely amazing, when our backback ripped just when we arrived Martin offered to fix it we were so grateful since it would have been impossible to travel with a broken backpack. Our guide Flavio and driver Emanuel really went above and beyond to show us everything when it comes to the wildlife in Amazon, he even went back looking for my sunglasses that I managed to loose on our walking tour. We were lucky to see everything from Pink river dolphins, sloths, monkeys, capybaras, caymans and a lot more. The food was very good and healthy. The rooms were comfortable and we really loved the hammocks that were on the balcony, perfect to relax there between adventures in the Amazon.

We absolutely loved our stay in Pablo's and Lorena's Lodge and had an amazing time. The two are very special and they and their team cared so much about our well-being and experiences we would make in Iquitos and the beautiful nature around it. We would come any time back and wish everyone only the best! 🥰

After having stayed a night in Iquitos, I wanted to experience the jungle and decided to stay at a lodge. I am thrilled that I chose the Jacamar lodge - not necessarily for the lodge (basic and rustic accommodation, fairly priced), but because of the fantastic staff at the lodge and the amazing tour guide. I booked a night at the lodge, and was soon contacted to arrange a guide through the lodge (a must do, as it is difficult to explore independently). My guide Christian knew the jungle inside out, spotted so many animals, was telling beautiful stories about the life in the jungle, and was very knowledgable about the plants and animals. In my two days in the jungle I did a jungle walk, night walk to spot reptiles (saw frogs, snakes, tarantulas, other spiders, bats, etc.), a 5:30 am sunset birdwatching cruise, dolphin spotting, and we went to a rescue center for monkeys rescued from the exotic animal trade. Please note that these were the activities that I wanted to do - Christian said from the beginning that I can chose what to do, and he will guide me. The activities were exceptional, but even the boat rides through the big and small rivers framed by dense forest, looking to spot animals and hearing about life in the jungle was magical. The food at the lodge was very good. At the beginning they asked me about allergies and if I don't eat specifc things - I only eat fish and vegetarian food, and they cooked me great meals using the regional ingredients from the jungle.

My guide Larry met me at the airport and we travelled to the lodge. Although it was 3 hours time went fast watching the landscape go by. It was dry season for my visit so unfortunately the river way very low and the lodge was not on the river as per photographed on booking. I do wish this was explained. Otherwise i had an amazing 5 days. The accommodation was clean, the food was ok. It was different everyday but simple. My guide Larry was exceptional. His knowledge of the jungle, outstanding, and his English was perfect. We made a plan on arriving for what it would like to do in my time. Highlight was the caiman night tour and lily pads.
