We spent 2 nights each at Explorama, ExplorNapo and Ceiba Tops. ExplorNapo was a little too primitive for my taste (gross pit toilets) but the Explorama and Ceiba Tops lodges were great. Food was wonderful, lots of fresh fruits and veggies. We loved our guide, Cesar, who was so knowledgeable and fun. Owner Peter Jensen is also very friendly and... more

We loved the primitive feeling at the Explorama Lodge ( but did appreciate having our own private bathroom). Hearing the jungle sounds at night, feeling the delicate brush of bat wings and seeing only with kerosene lamps created a much more authentic atmosphere than at Ceiba Tops (although the air conditioning did feel good there after our 4 nights at... more

Explorama Lodge is the best of Explorama's locations. Very close to nature, a lot of atmosphere, but still with some amneties like your own bathroom. more

We stayed at Explorama, ExplorNapo & Ceiba Tops in July 2008. Right from our arrival in Iquitos, we were in awe of our surroundings. The open air feel of our accommodations in the Amazon Rain Forest, while listening at night to the jungle sounds, was capsulated by our feeling of security under the mosquito net; however, we saw very few... more

It is very difficult to rate our week with Explororama. It was such a broad spectrum of experiences We stayed the first half of the week at ExploNapo and the second at Ceiba Tops. I would highly recommend that you do it in that order (more primitive to more luxury) than the other way around. Others before me have described... more

We had a fantastic time with Explorama last month. The lodges were wonderful, definitely a different experience from anything we had before!!! Aside from the accommodations what really made the trip was our guide Juan Tejada. Juan was absolutely incredible. He ensured from the second he met us at the airport in Iquitos that we had the best most informed... more

This is truely the trip of a lifetime. I enjoyed it so much that the May 07 trip was my third with these folks. We stayed at Explorama Lodge, ExploraNapo and Ceiba Tops. Explorama was founded by an American, Peter Jensen. Two of the trips were in low water season and the third was high water season. There is a... more
