My wife and I stayed at Otoronga Lodge (OL) for 4 nights in October 2009. Our trip to the Amazon was likely to be our one and only, and therefore we researched the accommodation options very carefully because we wanted our jungle experience to be one we would not forget. We finally settled on OL for the following reasons: it... more

My wife and I flew into Iquitos and were greeted by our host (Ivy) that would be by our side for the next 4 or 5 days. From the moment we met her in the airport parking lot to the time we departed, she was there for US. She helped us in so many ways and was our greatest teacher/educator... more

Our trip was fantastic. My girlfriend and I are naturalists and we really wanted to explore the amazon and learn all about its wildlife. Anthony and Ivi knew everything, it was really impressive. We spent two night in their lodge and 4 days camping in the woods. The camping was pretty difficult, but that was shadowed by all of the... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Otorongo lodge for five days in May and could not have wished for a better experience in the Amazon. Ivy and Anthony were the perfect hosts and really looked after us. From helping us to arrange flights, collecting us from the airport and providing a tour of iquitos to taking us to their lodge... more

My girlfriend and I stayed with Anthony and Evy at the Otorongo lodge for 6 days and had a wonderful time. The lodge is further away than most of the others so you get a real jungle experience rather than a Disneyland-type package deal which is how the other companies seemed to me. We had a wonderful local guide, Randy,... more

We give a FIVE STAR recommendation to Otorongo Expeditions!!! My wife Sonia and I went to the Amazon rainforest in January 2009. We basically hunted around online to find a guide -- we knew we didn't want to be in a big stupid riverboat with air conditioning and ornery obese tourists. We ended up with Anthony & Ivy of Otorongo... more

Anthony Giardenelli's Otorongo lodge was truly an amazing find for me. I showed up in Iquitos knowing little about what I wanted to do or why I was there, and I had the good fortune to run into Anthony and book a trip to Otorongo. Anthony is both friendly and knowledgeable about local culture, flora and fauna. He has a... more

My entire experience with the Otorongo was amazing. From the very beginning they were extremely accomodating with scheduling and what not. Also, pricing is very reasonable for the type of experience that they offer. From the very first moments of arriving in Iquitos we were blown away. Cruising through the dirt roads of Iquitos to the Otorongo speedboat where we... more
