Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Lamas

The Yanashpa Resort is a surprising place in the middle of the jungle, exceeding everything we expected. The welcome, the comfortable cabins and the delicious dishes in the restaurant made our stay unforgettable. It was the perfect retreat to reconnect with nature. We enjoyed exploring the resort by bike, a fun and unique experience. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning.

It’s like the videos and pictures. Very nice and a modern idea. Sarah is incredibly she helps us to get our first tour ride the first day we arrived.

Breakfast was pancakes, selection of fruit, olives, cheese, muesli, fresh fruit juice. Coffee/herbal teas. Hot water available throughout the day Very nice!

Tidy and comfortable. Very pretty as well with a big terrace

The main thing about this lodge is that you are both really immersed in the natural environment but a walk or short moto-taxi ride from town. The more expensive luxury lodges further out of town maybe have more green space to explore and an even more secluded vibe... but this is a great compromise to experience both city and jungle at a great value price. Mindblowing fauna on-site - hummingbirds, woodpeckers, toucans and cute tamarin monkeys in the trees close by the bungalows (though as with elsewhere in the cloud forest area, you might need a telephoto lens or binoculars to see them as the canopy is so high). There was an abundance of butterflies and I had a praying mantis on my door one morning. As a naturalist who loves insects it was totally magical to stay here... the biodiversity is off the scale - amazing to have this 10 minutes from the town centre. By Urku down the road I also saw a monitor lizard ( a few metres long ), frogs at dusk and a macaw above the river. As a solo English traveller, having Christian there to translate for me also made a huge difference. He offered me lifts to town / elsewhere...booked me taxis... and generally went above and beyond as a host. Thankyou so much Christian! All the other people who worked there were also very kind sweet people, ready to help me when needed too. Like many places in Peru, it's gated and has a night guard ( also a lovely guy )... so it feels safe despite it's isolation. Tarapoto in general felt safe to me and I loved visiting the colourful town as well - I'm glad I didn't miss out on that being at the more remote lodges.

Extra Clean, luxurious, the pool is TOP. A wonderful bar place with an amazing view.
