This lodge, 140km from Iquitos, is the only one with immediate access to the 2500-sq-km Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Reserve, an area of pristine jungle where a record 93 species of mammal have been recorded. The 17 lodge cabins are located 65km up an Amazon tributary, built on high stilts and connected by walkways; half have private bathrooms.
There is a laboratory with a library here, too. Wildlife-viewing opportunities are among the best of any lodge: they usually include a peek at the pygmy marmosets that nest near the lodge. On the recommended six-day/five-night tour from Iquitos, visitors also get a chance to stay at the nearby Amazon Research Center Lodge, which is remoter and has an extensive trail network.
Travel is by speedboat from Iquitos. Reserve online or through its Iquitos office.
