Ecoamazonia Lodge

I must give only 2 stars even if the Lodge is very beautiful: the lodge is by the river and surrounded by forest; the rooms are characteristics, comfortable and clean; the staff is kind and helpful; the food is generally decent, there is also a good pool and recreative stuffs but... Me, as most of the people, went there to see the forest and its fauna. EcoAmazonia holds a private area and the excursions are made only in this area. We did 4 excursions: 1 on Monkey Island: good but sad, we saw some monkeys, just because they feed them... the other 3 are similar, part of the path is the same, change the lenght. We did these 3 tour with 3 different guides and every time the told us the story of the same tree, the first time could be interesting, the third was very boring. In these tours we walked trought ant and mosquitos, the only animals that we have seen in 3 days.... The guides are basically good, also considering that they do the airport reception, waiters and luggage carriers. They always repeat the same 3 notions without great passion but with sympathy. In conclusion: If your point is eat, drink and relax in a quite and charming place, EcoAmazonia should be your choice. If you want to see some tropical animal, mammals or colorful birds, please go away.

We had a wonderful week at Eco Amazonia, a perfect spot to relax after our five-day hike around Cusco. The bungalow we stayed in was clean and comfortable, with plenty of hot water, electricity, and even internet in the lobby. Our guide, Eduardo, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts about the area's plants and animals. The food was tasty, and we could refill our water bottles for free anytime with fresh, clean water. The lodge also had a beautiful area and a swimming pool. The staff was friendly and always ready to help. Highly recommended for a relaxing jungle getaway!

We discovered that booking the lodges near Puerto Maldonado is a free-for-all, especially when dealing with travel agents in Cusco. You will hear many exaggerations and lies from the third parties, so do some research. Luckily we discovered Eco Amazonia. They have an office in Cusco and HQ in Puerto Maldonado, as well as the lodge itself. The lodge owns a large area of land which includes dense jungle with paths, swamps, lakes, grottos, bridges, observation tower and monkey Island. No other lodges tour this area, just Eco Amazonia. This meant that you would not see other tourists outside the group during the tours. It is by far the most organised, professional and attractive lodge in the Los Madres de Dios River. Highly, highly recommended. Eduardo and his staff are extremely helpful and provide excellent guidance. All typical activities (trekking through jungle, piranha fishing, night boat tours, cayman and wildlife spotting, observation tower, swamp boat trips, bridge walking etc) can be arranged directly with Amazonia Eco Lodge, via one of their standard packages. All very well organised. No need to go through a third party. Very reasonable cost (we ended up paying approx. 250 dollars per person for 3 nights/2 days). Kids 10 years old and under get 40% off. Additionally, they include airport pickup and drop off, travel to and from the lodge (they have their own boats) and actively monitor flight times to adjust your travels. So easy. We were very well informed throughout with respect to meal and your times. Thanks to Oswaldo for the transportation and setup prior to arriving at the lodge Food is of high quality, with mixture of set meals and buffets. ALL meals are included. The cabins are clean, with mosquito nets on all open sides, we slept very comfortably with no insect annoyances. There is no air conditioning unfortunately (it is an eco lodge after all) but fans are provided in all cabins which are sufficient for a good night's sleep. Showers and bathrooms are also just fine, with hot water provided. Electricity all the time as they have a solar panel installation. Everyone is assigned a guide for the duration. The guides (Julio for us throughout) are extremely knowledgeable about the routes, wildlife, flora and local culture. Many many thanks Julio. The clubhouse includes the eating area, bar area, seating areas, pool table, fusball table and wifi at set times. Bandwidth is pretty good. The clubhouse is also mosquito free as there is mosquito netting around the whole building. The lodge also included a night boat tour which is for wildlife spotting as well as star gazing. Very cool. I have not experienced silence like that in a long time. An extra nice touch was were the animals running around, as it also doubles as a 'sanctuary' of sorts. So a monkey, parrot and different birds roaming around which you can interact with. Jenny the monkey kept grabbing my hand to take me to the hammock area to play, very cute. The lodge also own

This lodge gave me one of the most memorable moments of my life! Their commitment to protecting the rainforest and its wildlife showed throughout the experience as they took us out into the protected jungle, stopping at certain points to teach us about the rainforest and how to protect it. Our tour guide, Nixon, was amazing!! He taught us so much and made the trek through the jungle an incredible experience. He made us forget about the heat and the bugs and made every moment an adventure. He was such a good guide it made us want to come back and we are already planning a trip back to Puerto Maldonado! if you want to explore the Amazon in a safe and respectful way book with Eco Amazonia. You will be supporting sustainable travel that gives back to the jungle and its people. 10/10 experience.

I spent 3 Days in the Lodge and they brought me with the other guests out for 4 guided tours trough the Jungle, the monkey iland and on the river. The weather was perfect even if it was the rainy season and the team was doing an extraordinary job by showing us everything they got in the area.
