I loved the entirety of my trip. Rildo was a tremendous guide and a spoke glowingly of him in the Turtle Lodge review. I really appreciated his effort to catch a caiman at night, it was crazy and so fun. I loved the hikes through the primary first, getting a true sense of what the undisturbed rainforest was like. I enjoyed following the river otters down the river too, deeper into the jungle, what a great time! He let me hike a second time on the next day in a different location since I loved it so much the first time. Alison was usually in charge of driving the boat and he was good at catching sight of the animals we were in search of. He was on the trail with us as well. Clubson was very kind, friendly and entertaining as the bartender for a few of the nights. Melina and Gianna were fun to speak to as well. Sofia was personable and really helpful with getting to where I needed to be, couldn't have appreciated her more, including some bonus facts she shared. Everything was well organized - we did do the itinerary out of order -that doesn't bother me but just something I noticed and might be important for other guests. Overall, one of the best trips I ever had in an incredible and unique place. Thank you so much!!!!

Authenticity & Character
Seemed genuine to me.
Location
It was great because it's one of the last lodges before you go even deeper into the Amazon so not many boats pass by and you feel like you're super close to the primary part of the rainforest. Great view from the property as well!
Staff
Super nice and friendly the entire time. Everyone!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean for a place that's likely very difficult to keep perfectly clean.
