Libertad Jungle Lodge

We are currently traveling around the world, and our visit here turned out to be one of our most unforgettable memories. [Reasons why we loved it:] 1. The food was amazing: Every day, Chef Fran prepared three meals using ingredients native to the Amazon, yet the flavors were perfectly suited to our Japanese taste buds, making it highly addictive. The fruits were also fresh and delicious. 2. The people running the lodge were truly wonderful: They were kind, always looking out for us, and when we were alone in the living room, they would come over and chat. While some of them didn’t speak English, they made an effort to communicate beyond the language barrier, which made us feel warm and welcomed every day. 3. They made everything we wanted to do come true: On the first day, we were introduced to various activities, and throughout our stay, we were able to choose which ones we wanted to do. The personal guides tailored the experience to us, making sure we had fun every day. For instance, when we saw coconuts growing on the side of the road and said we wanted to drink one, they let us harvest it together. When we found some delicious mushrooms in the jungle, they cooked them for us at night. It was a place where we could do everything we wanted. A special thanks to Lemi, who was our guide from morning till night. 4. The bedding was clean: The mosquito nets were sturdy, so we didn’t have to worry about insects while we slept and were able to enjoy a comfortable stay. 5. Plenty of free time and hammocks: The activities for each day were set, but there was also ample time to relax in between meals. The weather was hot, so breaks were essential, and the lodge had plenty of hammocks, which provided the perfect spot to relax. It was pure bliss. 6. Drinking Water: Water, hot water, coffee, and tea are provided free of charge in the living room, so you won’t have to worry about staying hydrated. We recommend bringing a water bottle so you can fill it up and carry it with you throughout the day. [Things to prepare for (you should accept these as part of the Amazon experience!):] 1. Insects: We visited during the dry season, so we didn’t get bitten too much during the day. However, at night, insects are attracted to places with lights, so it’s a good idea to keep the lights off in your room as much as possible. For insect repellent, we stayed for five days and each of us only needed one bottle of spray repellent and one roll-on type for our skin. 2. No signal, only Wi-Fi; the entire lodge shuts off the electricity at 9 PM: When the electricity is turned off, so is the Wi-Fi, so you won’t be able to use the internet after that time. It encourages an early bedtime and is also great for a digital detox. It’s best to embrace this and enjoy the experience. Additionally, Wi-Fi might not reach all rooms, so if you need a connection, you’ll have to go to the living room. 3. The showers are not very warm: Since we sweat a lot during the day, the col

Firstly, our guide Edwin picked us up from the airport on time and explained everything to us. The whole experience was custom just for us and we could always pick a morning, afternoon and evening experience from a wide variety of activities. Every day we had our guide and boat driver all to ourselves and they were passionate about the jungle. Every activity was amazing in its own way, from piranha fishing to sloth spotting and even drinking out of tree vines. Our guide was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions about the Amazon, and was an absolute pro at spotting animals camouflaged in the trees. The food was always fresh and we had something different every day. The accomodation was basic but we were well protected from bugs as our room had a net and our bed had a nice mosquito net as well. There were only cold showers and electricity is only on a few hours per night (around 6pm-9pm). We had 4 full days and we wished we had another day or two, it was sad to leave!

It was a good and unforgettable experience living in the jungle lodge. The food were health and delicious, the accommodations were comfortable and sustainable. We will always miss the days we spent there. The creatures in the rainforest are amazing
