Posada Amazonas

This is not a resort but rather a very nice and comfortable eco lodge to view wildlife with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Keep in mind that there is a lot of walking and stairs (almost 0.5 miles) to get to the lodge from the water transport river bank where you are dropped off. The clean spacious rooms are open air concept with mosquito nets for the beds and you can listen to rainforest creatures all night. The activities they offer are diverse (e.g., night hikes, water excursions to see caimans, otters and bird watching, visit to local farm and 40 meter observation tower). You are fed well with breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. Many thanks to our tour guide Luis M. for his extensive knowledge of the rainforest and keen eyes/ears to find hidden creatures while keeping our group safe.

This was supposed to include local culture but we didn't get that at all. We visited a farm but didn't learn anything about how people lived there. Instead, we spent a lot of time looking at birds and insects. The lodge was also disorganized - the boutique didn't open during posted hours, the massage sign up process was different depending on who you ask, there was zero information on how to sign up for the Wired Amazon activities. We paid a lot and felt like we didn't get what was advertised. I know animals cannot be guaranteed, but this lodge was supposed to focus in culture. We will not do this again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Amazing experience with amazing staff!! Even before landing in Peru, Mónica was so helpful with making sure everything was ready for our arrival; I had a lot of trouble with making the payments online but she assured me and helped me get it taken caren of. From the pick-up at the airport, with a yummy eco-friendly lunch during the drive to the river port, to the arrival at the lodge and the excursions, everything was incredibly well planned and executed. The room was lovely; all the meals were delicious; and our guide, Emperatríz, was so sweet and extremely knowledgeable. It was really the perfect blend of comfort at the lodge and nature experience during the excursions on the river and in the forest. Well worth the price; I just wish we'd gotten to stay longer!

It's a trek to get to the Amazon but so worth it! Our guide Josmel was awesome and with us every step of the way. He helped us pick out the best activities and really made sure that we enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and purified water was always available. Although it was hot, humid, and there was a bit of a roughing it aspect, it was a once in a lifetime experience and we were lucky to be paired with Josmel!

Ines (our guide) - a great thank you for a wonderful time and experiences. Very nice lodge, warm staff, great food, lots of to see and feel. Night walks, Giant Otter search in lake Oxbow, Canopy tower in the sunrise, river cruise in sunset, Parrots and Macaws Claylick, and much more. A very big thanks from Lithuania!

Visited dry season - late July 2024 Wow, this truly exceeded our expectations... leaving reviews isn't something I typically do.... We spent our first two nights at Posada Amazonas and paid additional in advance to get a private boat transfer to the Tambopata Research center. I advise booking this directly as it meant we got the best advice from the head office as many of the people working there have guided in the past, can answer any questions and know how to make the most of what's on offer. The amount and variety of animals/birds/insects we saw was incredible. Our guide Boris went above and beyond for us especially with his skill in seeing animals we would have otherwise missed. This alongside his knowledge of the rainforest, photography skills, birding ability, demeanor and sense of comradery meant we were always engaged, knew what was going on and felt safe. The rooms we stayed in at the resorts were exactly as advertised and the outdoor bath in the dulux suite was incredible. We had a good variety of tasty food every night and we didn't have any repeats across the two lodges over our five night stay, cocktails available at the bar and the willingness and understanding to include local native ingredients was elite. It being the Amazon you will be damp and depending on the season and humidity your clothes may not dry for days...be prepared and take enough clothes. A pair of binoculars are a must to truly feel like you've made the most of your time; we used them for elusive animals that move on quickly or whilst Boris was establishing a better position with his scope. On the water with a 360 degree view they were a must too! No need to be an expert, once we saw some trees or bushes moving Boris did the rest. The whole experience blew us away! Photos taken on our phones courtesy of Boris were national geographic worthy at times and are now digital treasures we can keep for ever. While five nights might sound like a long time it flew by and meant we could see a wide variety of wildlife and terrains, if you are staying for a shorter time just remember to temper your expectations, embrace whatever is put in front of you be it bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, arachnid or insect; you are choosing to travel to the Amazon rainforest, not a zoo!

Our family of 5 had an incredible time at this lodge exploring the Amazon. The collection of activities they had available to do on your schedule was incredible! From the moment you land at the airport, you are in the hands of your guide who will be with you for the entirety of your stay. They will do as much or as little as you want to do. We spent 2 nights here, which was ideal to experience the jungle. We did a total of 5 excursions, including sunset walks, river otter search, night walks, etc. The wildlife we were able to see was awe-inspiring and our guide, Josmel, didn't miss a thing! He had eyes like a hawk!!! Our kids haven't stopped talking about it since we've been back. It was their favorite part of a two week trip in Peru!

We stayed here for two nights after visiting Lima and Cusco. The accommodations were all handled through Alpaca Expeditions as we had them curate a trip for us that included Cusco and the Amazon. This lodge is so peaceful .. tucked right into the forest and off the Tombapata River. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff very friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a guide Fred who met us at the airport and then from a van took us to a boat for a ride down the river to the lodge. He showed us so many wonderful species of birds, butterflies and other wildlife in and off the water. We learned about plants used for medicinal purposes. So many new things for us to enjoy. So happy we got to experience living in the Amazon for a couple of days.

We had an amazing three day stay here even though the temperature was lower than expected for the time of the year. The hot water bottles in our beds each evening were very welcome! The food was delicious and the hot chocolate and cake/bread were freely available and much appreciated. The manager and his friendly staff were very helpful and showed great concern when I aggravated an old shoulder injury - even to the point of bringing dinner to our room. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable and in sympathy with their surroundings. A visit to this area is all about the flora and fauna and we enjoyed our trips in to the forest with our knowledgeable guide, Freet. A great experience in a very special environment.
