| Island evening |
| If you are amazed that in the 21st century there are still remote villages, difficult to access, where the people live close to nature, without electricity, running water, television, or computers, then you will be amazed at Your Little Jungle Lodge. |
| Cooking fish, majas, tapir, yuca |
| Your Little Jungle Lodge is built on stilts in the native fashion with thatch palm leaf roof, open, with walls that go only half way to the roof to provide ventilation and privacy. Your food will be prepared for you in the native style over wood fire or charcoal in a “summer kitchen”, local style, except we provide flavorful |
| Open fire boiling water |
| Fresh fish lunch |
| condiments and all the purified water you can drink. |
| You will be taken care of by our nice, hard working three-person on-site crew, who will do all of the cooking and cleaning, and you will be guided by a nice, knowledgeable, bi-lingual guide and translator. Let us escort you and get away from Iquitos. You can get away from Iquitos by going to your fishing hole, swimming hole, birdwatching |
| paradise, and your base for jungle hikes, canoeing and boat rides. It will be your quiet place to just hang in a hammock with a good book. |
| The lovely lake and the beautiful Nanay River are connected by a short narrow channel and are full of fish. The people of the village eat fish at least twice a day. Some of the villagers create some income by catching ornamental tropical fish for the aquarium fish export market. |
| Your Little Jungle Lodge will be an opportunity to live an authentic Amazon lifestyle similar to the native ribereños that inhabit this pretty piece of jungle. You will be more comfortable than the local inhabitants of the area. You will sleep on a mattress with sheets, pillow, and pillow case under a mosquito net. You will have light after dark thanks to |
| Cooking over an open fire |
| old fashioned kerosene lanterns. You will have the nicest outhouse in the village, and many other supplies and comforts, but without losing the authenticity. |
| Natural spring |
| Toasting farina |
| Use your time wisely |
| Canoeing at sunset |
| Your authentic Amazon lifestyle will be more pleasant if you bring your own flashlight with extra batteries, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a good book to read. There is no way to charge your camera batteries so bring a couple of extra. |
