Very special place, friendly staff, beautiful nature activities

I don’t think we could have had a better first experience in the Amazon. Favio, the owner and guide, is exceptional. He speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish fluently and is extremely knowledgeable about the area. He is deeply committed to making sure you have as much contact with nature as possible and get the most out of what the region offers. While when booking, it may not be immediately clear how the tours/days work, everything is actually based on your arrival and departure times to the region. They coordinate pick-up and drop-off perfectly, wherever you are, and from there, Favio rearranges the activities so you always have something to do or see (so don’t expect tours to happen on the exact days listed). He will keep you busy from dawn to dusk and make sure the only time you spend back at the lodge is to sleep and eat—so if you are looking just to rest, this is not your place. The food is great, local, and abundant. Accommodations are simple and modest, not luxurious, because the focus is on the experience. If luxury is what you want, this is not for you. But if you are seeking adventure, this place is amazing. We slept in the jungle, spent hours traveling by boat, and were constantly in awe of the surroundings. You may find tours to some of the same places or activities elsewhere, but having Favio truly makes the difference—he takes the time to help you appreciate what is around you, no rush if you are enjoying. He grew up in the area, and it is a pleasure to talk with him. The location also makes you feel fully immersed in the Amazon. If you want something fancy and quiet, look elsewhere. If you want to be amazed by nature and culture, this is it. thank you amigo I will be back for sure!

The place is somerhing like to live in contact with nature. Perfect for relaxing and ideal for family to bring their kids for a enjoyable weekend.. Depite of being rustic the place offers the basics for relaxing and for fun adventures for all people that value the nature enviroment.

Very welcoming experience at the Arowana lodge. Variety of day trip tours to take lead by their English speaking guide Anderson. Family style lodge with meals and tours shared which was a great opportunity to meet new people. The AC in the rooms was great to have a reset from the heat. The journey to the lodge was long but it was so smooth and completely taken care of by the drivers along the way.

Everything was super great!! Staff excellet, Guide Ozimar very good and Jungle-Boy Denis also very good. The meals was delicius. Thanks a lot!!
