Client comments and reviews

The lodge in the Amazon was wonderful - the guide Luis M was also wonderful! Another guide who kept you engaged with the knowledge he had about the area and the wildlife, and who was always smiling even at 4am! We would recommend the lodge to anyone who was going to the area, as we had a wonderful stay there - even when sharing our shower with a large frog!! - NB (July 2010)

Lovely, fascinating, did exactly what it promised, good food and staff; adequate facilities for the location. - HH (February 2008)
