This place totally blew us away! Everything was super well-organized, and the staff really went above and beyond to make things easy and smooth from start to finish.
We were deciding between Concepción and Amazonia Refugio, and picked this lodge because we wanted something that felt closer to nature—and it absolutely delivered. The nature walks are right on the property, and sleeping in the open-air cabanas, hearing the sounds of the jungle at night, was such a cool experience. We always felt safe and comfortable.
We went in the beginning of October, and the weather was perfect—not too hot, not too humid, and surprisingly few bugs!
The excursions were amazing—we saw capybaras, three kinds of monkeys, a black caiman, and did the optional trip to the salt and clay licks to watch parrots and parakeets (444 soles per couple, including a great picnic breakfast on the boat). You’ll need at least four people to do it, so get to know your group early!
Shoutout to Frank—our guide and total rockstar. He was so knowledgeable and could spot animals from what felt like a mile away. We learned so much from him and had such a fun time exploring.
The food was delicious, the hot showers were a nice surprise, and the whole experience struck the perfect balance between rustic and comfortable. I also got a massage one afternoon with the sounds of birds all around—so peaceful.
If you're looking for something unique, immersive, and really well-run, this is the place. Can’t recommend it enough!
