We stayed at the Yarapa River Lodge from August 14th to August 17th, the end of a month-long trip in Peru. This was the absolute perfect way to complete our journey. The "symphony of the jungle" was a welcomed contrast to the roaring mototaxis of Iquitos. Upon arrival we were greeted with glasses of fresh-squeezed juice and water. We were... more

This was possibly the worst vacation I have ever taken! There were many really terrible things about the lodge but the worst was that we were exposed to a very sick Guide for several days! Milton, our wildlife spotter, continued to accompany us after he exhibited a high fever and stiffness. He was in misery and couldn't even talk. Victor... more

This is a wonderful way to experience the Amazon. The staff are dedicated and enthusiastic. One get's to experience the gamut of what the Amazon has to offer. Well not quite the gamut, but almost. Could not believe the gargantuan size of the river! We loved our 4 days and felt totally rejuvenated at the end of the trip. Two... more

If you want to experience the Amazon, I think this is a good place to do it. We saw pink river dolphins, grey dolphins, sloths, caiman, four different types of monkeys, tarantulas, tree frogs, all kinds of insects and tons of birds. Our spotter/guide Milton was excellent at finding the various animals we wanted to see. He even caught a... more

Before booking our trip to the Amazon, we did a substantial amount of research in hopes of finding a location that would allow us to experience a once in a lifetime adventure. All the reviews we read about the Amazon directed us to Yarapa River Lodge, a small, eco-tourist destination on a tributary of the Amazon in Peru called the... more

If you want to live the amazonian wildlife adventure in a safe, comfortable environment, this is the place to go. The staff is great, the site is amazing. And the activities are interesting too. Worth every dollars! You'll never forget, or regret your trip there! more

My wife and I met our 25 year-old son in Lima (he's been traveling about SA for 5 months). and then traveled to Iquitos together. From the moment we touched down in Iquitos we had a terrific trip. The Yarapa River Lodge guides, who both grew up in the Amazon were terrific. Their sharp eyes helped us spot more than... more

Wow! What an amazing trip to Peru's rainforest and this lodge is far removed and goes deep! The staff is incredibly nice, knowledgable and caters to your every need. The accomodations are pretty Spartan, but authentic and spacious. The excursions are educational, the food hearty and the overall ambience deliciously relaxing, even for a couple of city slickers. If you... more

We became interested in a trip to the Amazon since my wife and 3 sons are all nature lovers and are interested in environmental preservation. It so happens that we know Dr. Charles Mango whose passion for the Amazon and the people in the area brought the lodge to fruition. Our 6 day, 5 night stay was well worth it.... more
