40 kilometers out of Iquitos on the Momon River, Amazon Lodge is an architect-designed complex that blends into the jungle. 22, clean, self-contained lodges are connected by covered walkways through manicured gardens, decorated with Shipibo Indian handicrafts. Tortoises and native hens roam free, as does Rigoberto, the tame, resident Tapir. You can also feed the wild Macaws who hang outside the dining room that has a great balcony with river sunset views. There is a pool with a water slide, a jacuzzi, a children's playground, a games room and cable TV in all the cabins. There is English speaking staff, kayaking, jungle excursions, wireless internet and three tasty buffet meals a day, all inclusive and is good value from $70 dollars a day. There is even a resident shaman for those interested in drinking ayahuasca and experiencing a different kind of jungle trip. Whether you are an Indiana Jones type, a spiritual quester or someone just looking to finish that trashy novel poolside in a hammock with an umbrella drink, Amazon Lodge caters for your needs.
