Two of the three Explorama lodges offer a more authentic and adventurous experience of the Amazon while still offering a great full service experience including meals, transportation, and excursions with the local guides. The main lodge, Ceiba Tops, is great for all travelers, however the other two lodges, Explorama Lodge, and ExplorNapo Lodge have a more rustic local flare. Both... More

I had promised my son when he was young that some day we would go to the Amazon Rainforest. Twenty some years later we took this trip and the two of us will long be talking about it for years to come. From the moment we landed in Iquitos there was our guide, Basilio, waiting for us. Pam took care... More

I just returned last night from a 5 day, 4 night stay at Explorama Lodge. I travelled with my husband and our friend. When we arrived at the Iquitos airport, our guide, Percy, was there waiting for us and he immediately set the tone for a wonderful vacation. Explorama Lodge is located off the Amazon river on a tributary called... More

We took the recommendation of the guidebooks and booked with Explorama. We split our trip between Explorama Lodge and ExplorNapo. This was not at all what I was expecting, but it was awesome. I kind of thought we'd be freely roaming in the jungle around the property, but that was definitely not on the menu. Everyone is assigned a guide,... More

Explorama Lodges are in really nice environment with friendly staff. Drinking water was provided for free and the food was great. However, the conditions are very basic. The best place to go is the ACTS field station Canopy walkway. The mosquito nets are kind of nominal. If you sleep your night leaning on them accidentally, you can still be bit... More

Fantastic place to stay, simply loved every minute of it, except the intense hit and mosquitos of course. You stay off the Amazon river in the jungle, with it encroaching right up to the facilities and rooms. The rooms are simple, but there are comfortable beds with mosquito nets and private barroom with cold shower. You will be glad that... More

It was quite clear from the website what you were getting before you arrived, so we were not surprised at the very basic conditions of the room at Explorama Lodge. The walls are open at the top so open to the elements and your neighbours. The bathroom however had walls and was private. It was great to be so rustic... More

Located in the middle of the amazon The food was above average. The rooms have no electricity, no hot water, & are open to the bugs. The main lodge has electricity in the dining room & fans. When you hike for 6 hours in the amazon having sprayed deet on your body & come back to a hot room with... More

The Explorama Lodge is nice place to stay for a couple of days while exploring the jungle. It has thatched roofs; the rooms have private bathrooms, but they share a common open to the thatch ceiling--some times the scarlet macaws sit on the cross bars looking down at you. There is no glass in the windows, screens or electricity in... More
