5-Day Amazon Exploration in Iquitos at Curassow Amazon Lodge

We had a blast in the curassow lodge with all the excursions and activities! Alex has been a great tour guide and explained everything jungle related! He made sure we were all taken care of and customize our tour catering to what we want. All the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. All the food served was amazing as well. Definitely recommend curassow lodge to anyone interested in visiting Amazon forest!????

Definitely make Curassow part of your plans to visit the jungle!! Great way to experience the Amazonian jungle! Curassow picked us up from the airport in an air-conditioned van and took us through the city of Iquitos to a speedboat that took us up the Amazon River. Curassow is located off one of its tributaries somewhat near a couple remote villages. A smaller motorized boat was used to travel to/from the lodge for various excursions or village visits. The employees were always so helpful in assisting everyone on and off the boats. The lodge itself if very neat and well kept, with fresh sheets and towels in the rooms. The common space houses a large table for eating meals as well as hammocks and outdoor couches for lounging. This space is a great way to converse with other guests and meet new people staying at the lodge from around the world with such amazing experiences! Enclosed with screens that prevent bugs, it is especially peaceful at night where it cools off or during night time rains. Various dishes are served for all three meals. Tea and coffee are always available, and the chef does such a great job serving fresh and plentiful food! The staff is so kind, and does their best to make your experience in the Amazon everything you hope it will be! Excursions and jungle walks are so accessible. All activities can be tailored to your activity preferences. The wildlife is absolutely incredible, and all the guides are so knowledgeable at spotting different nuances or hiding creatures! We spent a good amount of time at the local villages and with the people who live there. These villages are accessible by boat from Curassow, and it is amazing to meet such good and hardworking people! There are several projects occurring to help these people earn educations and live healthier lives, and Curassow plays a large role in helping make these projects possible!

I spent a wonderful 5days at this lodge and had an amazing experience. The excursions were really good and Mr Leo was a very knowledgable guide. Also the rest of the staff go all the way to make it a happy stay. Rooms are basic and there is no wifi, which could put off some travellers, but didn't mind me at all. Although I really could have done with a warm shower now and then :).
