France-Amazonia

The Oriente


Located just outside of town on the lip of the river, shady thatched huts surround a sparkling pool and sandy fire pit. Rooms are sizeable and pleasantly rustic. The garden offers plenty of nooks for enjoying the pleasant climate and the sound of the river – which can be accessed via a small trail.

The suite, raised on stilts above the river, is one of Misahuallí's prettiest sleeps.
