My wife and I spent four days last month at Refugio Amazonas in Peru’s Tambopata National Reserve. I recommend the Refugio Amazonas experience to all who want to get away from it all. The “lodge” accommodations are comfortable and kept clean. The food is very good. The staff is extraordinary and friendly. Our guide, Donnell, was excellent! We spent practically... more

This was the final step in our Peru trip, and I felt it was the best. Our guide Donnel was extremely knowledgeable and caring. When my wife got sick, Donnel had the kitchen make soem chicken noodle soup especially for her. We did not see any mammals but saw plenty of birds and insects as well as a few frogs... more

In ideal conditions, I'm sure the lodge would be excellent, but due to several minor problems, some weather-related, I can only give it a seven out of ten. Positives Staff were courteous, friendly and accommodating. Rooms were large and surprisingly nice. The food was excellent and plentiful during meal times, although it would have been nice to have more substantial... more

This place is fantastic. We stayed for several nights in May 07 and had a great time. We had a guide, Omar, for the two of us and his knowledge of the plant and animal life was great - we thought he must be making it up but he would show us the species cards and he'd got it spot... more

Most or all of their guides also happen to be scientists doing their own research in the area, and pay their lodging by doing tours for tourists like ourselves. Sadly, they were much more interested in their... more

We visited Refugio Amazonas during Oct 2007. We stayed for 3 nights 4 days. Since the first and last day are used up for travel, you effectively have only 2 days and 3 nights. I would recommend the 3N/4D program, anything less than this would mean, missing a lot of fun! Who should go there? anyone who looves jungle those... more

We spent 5 days at Regugio Amazonas which is the newest of the Peru Nature lodges. It was 3 hours up river from Puerto Maldonado. The lodge and 2 outer buildings (hotel rooms) were new, very clean. What we loved was the fact that our room was open to the jungle elements....a big picture window with no glass or screening.... more

25 minute flight to PM. Great views of the jungle throughout the ride. Breathing was easier in PM since it is only 400 feet above sea level. However, it was over 90 degrees and very humid. We were picked up by Rainforest Expeditions and taken to their base operation, about 5 minutes from the airport. We switched to a larger... more
