Refugio Amazonas

What an incredible experience! Our guide, JC, was truly exceptional — his deep knowledge of birdwatching and his positive energy made our stay unforgettable. We felt complete trust in him throughout, and he always went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and at ease. The same warmth and dedication were reflected in all the guides at the lodge, which made our 4 days at Refugio Lodge even more special. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this trip so memorable. Warm regards, Romain & Jemma

Stunning. Be one with nature. I have no words…what a beautiful wild place Refugio Amazonas is and the entire staff there are such wonderful people. Absolutely delicious food. We are vegetarians and had plenty of options. I was there with my 7 yo and our guide was Timo, incredibly knowledgeable and with such a keen eye for wild life. Where I saw leaves, he spotted the sloth, just one example. I am extremely grateful for your service, Timo. The scientific night talks are very informative and gave us an understanding of the importance of the work these people are doing. There is an outdoor playground for kids and covered area for different activities, in case of rain. My son built a jaguar puzzle. We did have a frog and a stick insect as visitors in the room. Very entertaining as we’ve only seen a stick insect in cartoons and documentaries This was the highlight of our trip and I hope I will have a chance to return one day.

WOW WOW WOW. We can not speak highly enough of the entire experience The people were incredibly friendly, from the bar staff to the guide everybody was really nice and had a focus on our experience. Eddy our guide was just amazing and provided animal encounters that we couldn't have dreamed off, monkeys, spiders, macaws, toucans, caterpillars, piranhas the list goes on. The lodge and accomodation were clean and welll stocked, definetly a 5 star feel.

Great tours, great guides, great food, great accommodation. The Pisco Sours weren't bad either. Highly recomended. Our guide was Juan Carlos Yato whose knowledge of the surroundings was exceptional.

Our family of 4 (2 kids, ages 11 and 12) spent 3 nights and 4 days in this beautiful rainforest lodge. Our guide, Emperatrice, was knowledgeable, ensured our kids saw so many birds and animals, and demonstrated kindness and care throughout our visit. She is amazing! The lodge is outstanding and the staff go above and beyond to provide a comfortable stay. The open wall in the bedroom sounds daunting, but was actually a great way to immerse ourselves in the environment. The lodge’s chefs are excellent and ensured a safe dining experience for our family member with a peanut allergy. The activities were amazing - we participated in research activities, night hikes, saw a macaw salt lick, took a boat ride, viewed the forest from a canopy tower and more! Thank you Refugio Amazonas for a memorable adventure!

Amazing few days with great accommodation, good food/drink and most importantly highly knowledgeable guide, Juan Carlos. He taught us so much about the rainforest, flora and fauna and about the local people as well as the scientists doing research here.
