Libertad Jungle Lodge

Prachtige locatie vlakbij de oorsprong van de amazone. De voorzieningen zijn basic, maar comfortabel. Enthousiaste gidsen die echt maatwerk leveren en afgestemd op hun gasten de omgeving verkennen. Maaltijden zijn gevarieerd en heel erg lekker. Enorm aan te bevelen, ook voor gezinnen (wij reizen met kinderen van 7 & 10).

Niets! Blijf zeker 3 nachten om alles te kunnen zien en doen.

L'organisation est impeccable que ce soit pour venir nous chercher / ramener à Iquitos, les activités sur place et des repas. Les repas étaient délicieux et les visites réalisées en petit comité sont un réel plus. Nous recommandons clairement cet hôtel. L'équipe se charge de prendre le matériel adéquat en fonction de la météo et des visites.

The tours were exceptional: this is a safari extravaganza. Every excursion was full of incredible wildlife in its natural habitat. Lagoons, channels and the confluence of the Amazon with the Ucayali River. The bird life is phenomenal- constant eagles, hawks and turkey vultures. This and kingfishers: up close humming birds and mosquito bats. There are sloths and armadillos and anteaters. Just mind blowing plants and weather. The guide, Gomer, was well informed and caring- he also told me loads of local myths and information about Shamanism- which I asked about as I am a writer. The food was good- just be clear what you want and they likely have it in the back. I requested porridge, muesli and real coffee and it all materialised after the first day. The village is sweet, and it’s great to know the money supports life there. They seem to have a very democratic society and it seemed very idyllic in many ways.

I post the following as constructive feedback, that I hope the lodge will consider it in future planning and be more conscious around their own logistical needs weighed against the experience of the guests. This was a very expensive purchase for me, as I was alone. 4 nights was £800. It’s with a somewhat heavy heart that I am posting this because I feel that the management of the lodge needs to make a real change around how they manage their building works and noise. There were huge building projects for two out of my 4 days with drills, chainsaws and other noise pollution that was distressing. I have suggested that they inform people when there might be noise, or, plan building work then close the lodge for a few weeks, or at the very least pause it when residents are having breakfast and lunch. In addition, I would have liked there to be some women guides. I felt it was a very male environment from beginning to end- particularly with the building. The Lodge would benefit by including more input from the local women I feel.

La naturalesa del seu voltant és espectacular. Miguel, el nostre guia (alias "Miki"), ens ha facilitat visualitzat veure multitud d'animals de molt a prop i entendre el funcionalment del mediambient i de la vida local com ningú. El menjar està molt bo i les instal.lacions són òptimes. Molt recomanable.
