Loreto : Lodges

« It was AMAZING! The service was beyond perfect. Mamerto, Alfredo, Victor, and the AMAK team were the perfect hosts. The place is already a paradise and in addition the food is delicious. Excellent service + nice accommodations + interesting tours + delicious food = Perfect Place for Vacation »

« l’endroit est très dépaysant et plutôt confortable pour un ressort en pleine forêt amazonienne bien que vieillissant. Par contre malgré une chaleur équatoriale l’accueil est plutôt glacial de la part du boss.Pas le moindre mot d’accueil, pas même un bonjour le matin.

Our guide, Adderly, was very knowledgeable about the local ecosystems and took us to a number of different locations around the reserve. We were well looked after and had healthy two or three course meals for...

« My trip to the Amazon was one of the highlights of a three-week vacation to Latin America, and I owe it in large part to Amazon Nativo Lodge. Please note that you should contact them independently soon after. They will arrange your transportation from the airport to the lodge. They also have plenty of tour and activity options, which I highly recommend. Although I'm not one for guided tours, I'm thankful they have guides so familiar with the jungle because it would have been hard to find my way...
