A perfect experience in the Amazon. Harry, our guide, made the entire experience very memorable. The food is good, the bar is expensive but good and the support staff were excellent. Tanya, the manager, took care of all our needs and was very supportive the entire stay. Please remember that the rooms are open to the nature and therefore comes with its pros and cons. You wake up with the nature including the mosquitos 🙂 The experiences offered by the Refugio is fantastic and provides a great exposure to the Amazon. Dont miss the Macaw trip. It is just magical.

This a lovely lodge surrounded by nature and with full amenities. Super clean, well-organised daily activities with professional and friendly guides, interesting evening presentations on various habitats of the rainforest by the loveliest scientist who has a real passion for her subject and overall a great team that makes you feel welcome, takes care of the place and offers tasty meals. If you’re looking for the safest possible version of experiencing the rainforest, by all means book yourself in (fantastic choice for families and mature travellers). A big plus of the rooms is the fact that they’re wide open to the nature where you can relax and fall sleep listening to all kinds of sounds of the rainforest but also casually see from your hammock lovely marsupials wondering around, colourful birds chirping in the trees and different kinds of monkeys! Absolutely loved my time in that part of Peru and would highly recommend for anyone who is active and wants to consider longer hikes and even more activities in nature to possibly combine this ecolodge with TRC too. Also worth staying in the area for nothing less than 5days as this is the minimum it takes to adjust and enjoy everything at pace. Fun fact, during my stay (13-18 November) there were lots of harmless insects but no mosquitoes!! On the flip side you can’t wonder around on your own as it can be tricky with wildlife and there’s no entertainment in general or in the evenings after dinner as it is essential to sleep early in order to be able to wake up in a timely manner for morning activities. It would also be nice to be a bit less westernised and more Peruvian but then again I suppose you can’t have everything. Read all

The food was delicious and fresh. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our guide Jari was incredible and really made our experience the best. He was so knowledgeable, kind and patient with our group. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and that energy is really infectious. We had an amazing time and would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the rainforest. Read all

We spent 4 days and 3 nights here and had the most amazing experience. The entire staff is friendly, accommodating, and passionate about what they do. Boris (AKA “Jungle Boy”) was our guide, and he was fantastic. He taught us so much about Tambopata and showed us wildlife including the beautiful macaws, capybaras, a 3-toed sloth, and more. The night walk was particularly special, as you see sights you’d miss during the day. It was a beautiful way to connect with the earth, nature, and the local culture. I highly recommend Refugio Amazonas! Read all

Excellent lodge in the heart of Amazon Rainforest. Good facilities and excellent food. The lodge is in the heart of the jungle and well-equipped with facilities like experienced guides, boats, bicycles etc. There is a lot to do. Highly recommended. Read all

We had originally booked a different lodge but changed our booking to Refugio Amazonas after receiving poor feedback on the other hotel from family who had visited a month earlier. This was a last minute change and we were apprehensive on what we would find as we had not done our research in this lodge. This is an eco lodge, located about two and half hours from Puerto Maldonado (by bus and boat) in the Amazon rainforest. The lodge is beautiful, blends in with the surroundings and is well maintained. This is not cheap and you can see that money goes to the upkeep. All rooms only have three walls (yes three) with the fourth being permanently open with views of the forest. It is stunning and you can hear the forest at night. A wonderful way to fall asleep. If you can’t stand bugs then this is probably not the place for you. There are mosquito nets over the bed. However, it is important to note that whilst we were in the middle of the forest, very few bugs came into the room, and we were not bitten once by anything. Whilst in the lodge and in the forest it is also important to take precautionary measures as advised by the guides (e.g. socks over trousers, long sleeve tops, etc.). Our stay was very comfortable without any issues. The food is excellent, most of the vegetables and fruits are organic and come from a nearby farm. The activities that the lodge offers are interesting, well organised and guided. Our guide, Carmen was fantastic - highly accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. All staff are friendly and keen to assist. So whilst we were apprehensive about the change we made, we have not regrets. We had a wonderful experience. Read all

It was a fantastic experience. The treatment of the staff was unmatched, what about the facilities; a lodge with all luxury of details in the middle of the jungle. And of course at the level of nature a lot of diversity of species that you would not see anywhere else. Thank you very much Read all

We spent three nights four days at the lodge It’s a lovely place, nice rooms open to the forest with great staff, food and excellent cocktails We saw many animals around the lodge but so many more with our fab guide Harry who was a brilliant spotter, very knowledgable and clearly loves his job. There is a menu of activities which you can decide on with your guides advice Highly recommended this place. Read all
