Posada Amazonas

We had the experience of a lifetime at Posada Amazonas! For our first trip ever to Peru, we wanted to see as much of the country as possible, and started our journey here. Everything went seamlessly- from the pick up at the airport, check in at the office, to the delicious lunch on the boat during our transfer. The next 3 days were filled with wonderful experiences including the canopy hike, oxbow lake cruise, sunset cruise and more. Luis was our guide extraordinaire. His knowledge and ability to spot interesting flora and fauna were amazing. The rooms are clean and spacious and perfect to experience the jungle. You haven't lived until you are awakened by the calls of howler monkeys at 4:15am! Highly recommended!

This is not a resort but rather a very nice and comfortable eco lodge to view wildlife with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Keep in mind that there is a lot of walking and stairs (almost 0.5 miles) to get to the lodge from the water transport river bank where you are dropped off. The clean spacious rooms are open air concept with mosquito nets for the beds and you can listen to rainforest creatures all night. The activities they offer are diverse (e.g., night hikes, water excursions to see caimans, otters and bird watching, visit to local farm and 40 meter observation tower). You are fed well with breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. Many thanks to our tour guide Luis M. for his extensive knowledge of the rainforest and keen eyes/ears to find hidden creatures while keeping our group safe.

Amazing experience with amazing staff!! Even before landing in Peru, Mónica was so helpful with making sure everything was ready for our arrival; I had a lot of trouble with making the payments online but she assured me and helped me get it taken caren of. From the pick-up at the airport, with a yummy eco-friendly lunch during the drive to the river port, to the arrival at the lodge and the excursions, everything was incredibly well planned and executed. The room was lovely; all the meals were delicious; and our guide, Emperatríz, was so sweet and extremely knowledgeable. It was really the perfect blend of comfort at the lodge and nature experience during the excursions on the river and in the forest. Well worth the price; I just wish we'd gotten to stay longer!

It's a trek to get to the Amazon but so worth it! Our guide Josmel was awesome and with us every step of the way. He helped us pick out the best activities and really made sure that we enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and purified water was always available. Although it was hot, humid, and there was a bit of a roughing it aspect, it was a once in a lifetime experience and we were lucky to be paired with Josmel!

Visited dry season - late July 2024 Wow, this truly exceeded our expectations... leaving reviews isn't something I typically do.... We spent our first two nights at Posada Amazonas and paid additional in advance to get a private boat transfer to the Tambopata Research center. I advise booking this directly as it meant we got the best advice from the head office as many of the people working there have guided in the past, can answer any questions and know how to make the most of what's on offer. The amount and variety of animals/birds/insects we saw was incredible. Our guide Boris went above and beyond for us especially with his skill in seeing animals we would have otherwise missed. This alongside his knowledge of the rainforest, photography skills, birding ability, demeanor and sense of comradery meant we were always engaged, knew what was going on and felt safe. The rooms we stayed in at the resorts were exactly as advertised and the outdoor bath in the dulux suite was incredible. We had a good variety of tasty food every night and we didn't have any repeats across the two lodges over our five night stay, cocktails available at the bar and the willingness and understanding to include local native ingredients was elite. It being the Amazon you will be damp and depending on the season and humidity your clothes may not dry for days...be prepared and take enough clothes. A pair of binoculars are a must to truly feel like you've made the most of your time; we used them for elusive animals that move on quickly or whilst Boris was establishing a better position with his scope. On the water with a 360 degree view they were a must too! No need to be an expert, once we saw some trees or bushes moving Boris did the rest. The whole experience blew us away! Photos taken on our phones courtesy of Boris were national geographic worthy at times and are now digital treasures we can keep for ever. While five nights might sound like a long time it flew by and meant we could see a wide variety of wildlife and terrains, if you are staying for a shorter time just remember to temper your expectations, embrace whatever is put in front of you be it bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, arachnid or insect; you are choosing to travel to the Amazon rainforest, not a zoo!

Our family of 5 had an incredible time at this lodge exploring the Amazon. The collection of activities they had available to do on your schedule was incredible! From the moment you land at the airport, you are in the hands of your guide who will be with you for the entirety of your stay. They will do as much or as little as you want to do. We spent 2 nights here, which was ideal to experience the jungle. We did a total of 5 excursions, including sunset walks, river otter search, night walks, etc. The wildlife we were able to see was awe-inspiring and our guide, Josmel, didn't miss a thing! He had eyes like a hawk!!! Our kids haven't stopped talking about it since we've been back. It was their favorite part of a two week trip in Peru!
