Stan G2025-06-20Verified Best 5 days of our lives Our stay at Curassow Lodge was incredible. Definitely the best experience we had in Peru and maybe ever! It’s the perfect stay for wildlife lovers. Outstanding service, gorgeous food and an overall sense that you’re staying with friends in the most fantastic location. Our guide was called Flavio and he was amazing, so friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He was eager to help us identify animals and expertly catered the experience to our liking. I’d definitely recommend asking for him when you stay at Curassow. The man driving our boat was called Tony and he was a lovely man too, very sweet and jolly. He even took us to his home and showed us around the local village (where he’s the mayor!). Curassow also give a portion of their proceeds to the neighboring communities so by staying with them you’re also helping local families with things like food, clothes and education. My favourite place I’ve been to without a doubt. Highly recommend! travelingislandgirl2025-06-16Verified Amazing, Wonderful, and Couldn’t Ask for More We couldn’t have asked for more. Currasow Amazon Lodge is such an amazing place. They took care of us and our five year old as well. Our guides Flavio and our driver Tony took such great care of us on our excursions. Dani took such good care of us at the lodge. I can’t recommend this place enough. Mertbakirci2025-06-10Verified One in a life time Amazon experience As a solo traveler, I had an amazing and unforgettable 3d/2n experience with Curassow Amazon Lodges in June 2025. Primarily, this was because of our super friendly and very knowledgeable guide Flabio and his well experienced boat driver Toni. Both made a perfect match in finding the best spots and most hidden animals throughout all of our excursions. Flabio, who speaks very good English, was flexible with the itinerary and adjusted it to the customer needs and wishes. A truly inspiring person from the jungle. Make sure to ask for Flabio when booking with Curassow; this will truly enrich your Amazon experience. The lodge itself was amazing as well: clean and tidy rooms with private bathrooms, which were fully sealed and equipped with mosquito nets. All meals were very delicious and the house manager Daniel made sure that all customer wishes were satisfied. More general: The Curassow Lodge is smaller than others and are suitable for travellers who would like to explore the Amazonas in a more private and personal environment. Even though we were four guests in the lodge, one guide was appointed to two persons (two solo travellers in one group and a couple in the other). We constantly have seen other (larger) lodges who packed 10 ppl on one boat, resulting in a less personal experience obviously. In a nutshell: I can highly recommend the Curassow Amazon Lodge, with Flabio as THE guide. From the booking process to the airport drop-off for my return flight, all was very neat and I felt safe and secure at all times of my stay. Lmk if you have any questions I can help with. 100% recommend. Michelle E2025-04-30Verified Iquitos jungle experience We had a great Amazon experience with this lodge. Our guide was Ricardo and our boat driver was Michael and they did a fantastic job. We went right after the rainy season so we took a boat everywhere. The lodge is in a remote area which meant we got to see lots of wildlife and we traveled deep into the jungle. The food was delicious with fresh fruits and vegetables. We stayed 3 nights and 4 days. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so the transfer was seem less. The bungalow was comfortable and I felt very safe at all times. I would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone going. lisa2025-03-21Verified Great stay in the Amazon! We had an excellent stay at Currasow. Transfer to and from Iquitos was seamless. The lodge was vere comfortable and the food was great. We loved having a guide devoted to us and our interests. Alex was knowledgeable and very responsibe to tailoring our experience. We saw sloths, monkeys, dolphins and dozens of fantastic birds. Highly recommend this locally owned and operated Amazon experience! Jayci T2025-02-26Verified A great amazon adventure with a small business family feel I highly reccomend Curassow lodge for your amazon adventure. They stand out as a small business that puts their guests first and goes out of their way to give them a personalized experience and make each guest feel like part of their family. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days with our tour guide Flavio and absolutely loved it. I was a bit afraid to go into the amazon jungle hours away from any towns or hospitals at first, but Flavio made us feel very safe as he grew up in the amazon jungle and has worked as a tour guide for many years. He knows the jungle very well and had experience leading survival trips there as well. He is very knowledgeable about the amazonian cultures, traditions, and medicinal practices. He also knows how to spot animals high up in the treetops and we had the chance to see many birds, monkeys, insects, and various other animals in their natural habitat with him. Flavio is also a great guide and he made us feel very welcomed to the jungle. He told us many stories during our meals about his life in the jungle and local legends and customs. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience and even picked us up from the airport at 5:30 am and took us on a tour of Belen market while we waited to go to the lodge. Curassow is a smaller lodge with a family feel. We were the only guests during our visit but Flavio told us the maximum capacity is 15 guests and each group always has their own private tour guide. There is a schedule of activities each day including swimming in the Amazon, piraña fishing, nature walks and boat tours. But the tour guides are open to changing the schedule based on your needs, if you need more time to rest or want to do a specific activity again, they are happy to accomodate. Their cook Ricardo made us delicious meals every day and made delicious vegetarian meals for me. Their bartender Julio also made us different juices for each meal using different fruits from the jungle. He also makes great pisco sours with different fruits from the jungle. The rooms were very beautiful and clean. The room service was great, they cleaned each day and made sure we had everything we needed. They were well equiped for the jungle environment and had a good fan for ventilation, mosquito nets on all the windows, and a mosquito net over the bed. This was the only place in the jungle we did not get mosquito bites. They even made a beautiful display of flowers and balloons for us because we celebrated out 1 year anniversary here. We had a wonderful experience here and I will definitely return to Curassow lodge when we visit Iquitos again. A helpful tip is to bring clothing mosquitos cannot bite through. There are more mosquitos than you can possibly imagine in the jungle. James S2025-02-16Verified An incredible and unique experience! Highly recommend the Curassow Amazon Lodge and their private tour. We did the 5D/4N tour and we were so pleased, happy and thankful for our time there! It was above and beyond of our expectations! In our 4 Night and 5 Day tour: - We saw so many different types of animals in their natural habitat, including monkeys, sloths, insects, fish, birds, caiman and even pink dolphins! Swimming in the amazon river around sunset watching the dolphins was definitely a highlight. - The staff went above and beyond to take care of us making sure we were fed, comfortable and enjoying our time. Foods and drinks were fresh & delicious! - All of the transportation (cars & boats) were well coordinated where we didn’t feel like we were waiting around or in any danger. Martin even met as at the airport to say goodbye and gave us a t-shirt. - Jungle walks both night and day. On our full day, we even had lunch cooked over a fire in the jungle. - Our guides were exceptional. They had great English and were happy to answer any questions and amazing at spotting the animals. - The lodge was fit for purpose and had a great place to chill out in the evening and even had Starlink. Ben the lodge cat was great company. - We visited the nearby village and met some of the local people. Make sure you bring enough stationary for both schools (there is an intermediate and a primary!). We really enjoyed the flexibility of the tour where we could decide what we felt like doing on the day. Overall, it was really good value and one of the best experiences we did over a 6-month trip around Central/South America. Special shoutout to: Ricardo, our private tour guide who was great communicator with great English and Jeremy who was always first to spot the animals! Both made our trip very special so thank you! Also big thanks to Martin for all the organisation and Ricky for cooking us delicious food every day. Just a few things that might help people: - A good flashlight and your own binoculars will make your experience a lot more enjoyable. - Breathable sun protection clothes. We were there early December, and every day was hot and sunny. You spend a lot of time on a boat with no shelter. - A good camera always helps. - A few varieties of insect repellent. This does make you feel a lot hotter but there are a lot of insects. - We weren’t sure on whether to take malaria pills or not given the conflicting information online. We decided to buy some in Lima and take them just in case. They were quite strong and made me feel a bit off on the day I took them. Malc2025-01-13Verified An unforgettable experience We spent three nights here and had an incredible experience under our personal guide, Flavio, who was with us from airport pick up to drop off. From early morning boat tours to night time tarantula treks, his ability to pick out wildlife in the forest was jaw dropping. He was ably assisted by Ivan who guided our boat. We swam in the Amazon, caught piranhas and saw sloths, many species of monkey, caimans and snakes, plus many birds, bats and insects. The lodge was tranquil and clean with excellent food and drink from Julio and Riccardo. The perfect stay in a unique setting. B M2025-01-07Verified Better than the competition ten folds. All the lodges are similar Humble cabins Solar electricity Filtered bath water from the river What is great about this lodge is that you get a personal guide and a dedicated boat. The competition (muyuna) has a groups and groups of people on boats for expeditions. This is why we chose this lodge. The bonus: the place is impeccably clean, the food is great the juices are fresh and the workers are attentive and helpful. I’m glad I chose it. Anna-Lena L2025-01-03Verified Unique Experience We had such a unique experience. We stayed 4 days and 3 nights and this was perfect. The staff is so nice and friendly, you get the greatest food and fresh juice everyday. Flavio our tour guide was the best. He has so much knowledge about the rainforest, you can ask him everything. He speaks English very well. Thanks to him we saw so many animals and had unique experiences for example a night boat tour or swimming in the amazon. It is a very private experience, this gives you the opportunity to really get to feel the rainforest. The accomodation is very nice, directly at the river. You can watch birds and caymans right from your hammock on the balcony. We would definetely recommend the lodge.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
