Posada Amazonas

Rainforest Expeditions is a wonderful company and the Posadas Amazonas lodge is a beautiful location to spend your time in the Amazon. The staff are all incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The tours were very fun and we saw lots of animals including River otters, monkeys, birds, and capybaras. We loved our guide Luis and all the people we met. The food was delicious and locally grown and there was never a dull moment. Would highly recommend!

I went to Posada as part of a wider group trip, so did not pay for it directly. The lodge feels very far from anywhere and yet it feels incredibly safe. The rooms are open to nature, but nothing was ever damaged (use the safe boxes as advised, especially for food - not that you'll need any - the catering is excellent, with plenty of vegetarian options, and snacks are also provided between meals). There are flushing toilets, incredible shower facilities and the beds are very comfortable with mosquito nets placed at night by the staff. Drinking water vats are strategicvally placed throughout the lodge but you may have a long-ish walk to the common areas through corridors. Some parts of the corridors are open to the elements, but umbrellas are provided everywhere in case of rain. There is obviously no air conditioning, but this helps you acclimatise. The lodge is run by a family and others from the Infierno community, which gives the place a homely feel, with resident tour guides and a local geologist for citizen science projects. Massage services are available and there is a local shop for souvenirs and essentials like bug spray, clothing and torches. Tons of activities can be arranged, but it's also nice to relax in the hammocks and common areas and listen to the sounds of nature. While this hotel is not going to be for everyone, I had the most incredible time!

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.

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!
