Sunrise of Tambopata

A very unique place in the jungle of Amazon at the bank of river Tambopata. We got a chance to witness some swift daily weather changes from fierce rain to warm sunshines during the three days we stayed. We also enjoyed (sometimes unwillingly) various bird sounds in a rather relaxed natural setting. The owner Emmanuel did his best to make us feel at home, cooking three meals a day with fresh meat and fish, salads, organic eggs, squeezed juice, and hot tea. One time he even killed a chicken for us. His whole family members were very friendly and the cottage was very clean. He also made the trip to pick up and drop us off at the airport for free.

The location is rather remote with no restaurants nearby or places to visit alone on foot. As for the room, there’s a fan but No AC (Impossible to have it because of the cottage’s open built character). So there is no humidity control either (I’m being too picky here but Amazon is a rain forest). Didn’t get a chance to join any tours due to unexpected rains and political protests. Since the family don’t speak English and my husband and I don’t speak Spanish, communications among us were challenging. Also I felt a little upset because the 18% VAT charge was added to the final bill although we’re not citizens of Peru.

Wonderful location at the riverside, super friendly staff who even gave us a ride to town. Excellent value for money

one of a kind property that is located a steps away from river Tambopata and doesn’t have bugs/ insects and mosquitoes biting every inch of you. the host Emmanuel and family have done an excellent job of insect proofing the property and allowing you to enjoy view from the cottage . we sat outside in the balcony and was pleasantly surprised to not see blooding sucking insects and bugs flying around. you have to do your part of keeping the cottage door closed at all times as well. the breakfast is simple , healthy and delicious . couldn’t believe their freshly squeezed orange juice didn’t have sugar or honey added . loved every sip of it ! highly recommend the English guided tour of lago Sandoval that was referred by Emmanuel !

-I like that I feel very welcome and very well treated by Emmanuel's family. -The views from the lodge are very beautiful.

Emanuel, Marisela and family do an amazing job of keeping their property in top shape and making everything easy for guests, including booking any number of tours. They prepare delicious organic meals up to 3x per day (we usually had 2), and hook you up with whatever transportation needs you have to/from town or airport (each is about 10-15 mins; not far). The newness of the property combined with the family's attention to details of the modern day traveler (fridge, wifi, shower, drinking water) made our visit super easy, and we speak little Spanish, and some other guests spoke none. Our T-Mobile cell coverage also worked just fine.

if you are doubting where to book; BOOK THIS ONE! It's new; truely family-ran; and Emanuel goes beyond and above to make you feel home. The water was clear unlike many hotels and the lodges (only 3) are very clean there was no bugs or weird spiders inside. I never wanted to leave!! Make sure to play with the kids (Andreio) and the animals around (Liya)
