I had an excellent stay at Amak - from the warm and helpful staff to the 3 course meals, it definitely exceeded my expectations for the very fair price. The schedule was well thought-out with interesting activities around the area and Carlos was an exceptional local guide. I felt very well taken care of.

If you love the nature and people then this place is amazing to come to rest and explore the greatness of the amazon. I rarely write reviews but this place deserves it. Its more the friendlyness of the hosts lissette her husband that make the stay so good, they take care of you and treat you like one of their family, they cook delicious food, which is highly necessary when your day is packed with adventures in the amazona. Accept that internet is non existing and enjoy the nature. Ps. For a very reasonable price you can get tours around the place by a local guide who know all and everything of the regio, enrique is great to be around and allot of fun.

Everything, the lodge is in the Amazon. The food is excellent, the staff are amazing. It’s clean, the pool was great. Surroundings and to sit in the garden looking at the Amazon river watching the dolphins you couldn’t ask for more. Also the excursions laid on were out of an adventure novel.

Quality of the hotel. Both the rooms, the pool, the location, the staff and the overall vibe.

Good for a break from the harsh environment. The guide Mr Lewis is experience and friendly. We went to visit the villages. Overall was a good experience for a break.

After having stayed a night in Iquitos, I wanted to experience the jungle and decided to stay at a lodge. I am thrilled that I chose the Jacamar lodge - not necessarily for the lodge (basic and rustic accommodation, fairly priced), but because of the fantastic staff at the lodge and the amazing tour guide. I booked a night at the lodge, and was soon contacted to arrange a guide through the lodge (a must do, as it is difficult to explore independently). My guide Christian knew the jungle inside out, spotted so many animals, was telling beautiful stories about the life in the jungle, and was very knowledgable about the plants and animals. In my two days in the jungle I did a jungle walk, night walk to spot reptiles (saw frogs, snakes, tarantulas, other spiders, bats, etc.), a 5:30 am sunset birdwatching cruise, dolphin spotting, and we went to a rescue center for monkeys rescued from the exotic animal trade. Please note that these were the activities that I wanted to do - Christian said from the beginning that I can chose what to do, and he will guide me. The activities were exceptional, but even the boat rides through the big and small rivers framed by dense forest, looking to spot animals and hearing about life in the jungle was magical. The food at the lodge was very good. At the beginning they asked me about allergies and if I don't eat specifc things - I only eat fish and vegetarian food, and they cooked me great meals using the regional ingredients from the jungle.
