Fodor's Expert Review Refugio Amazonas

One of three lodges on the Tambopata River run by Rainforest Expeditions, the refugio lies within a 500-acre protected forest that is contiguous with the Tambopata National Reserve, so it has plenty of wildlife. Spacious rooms are separated by cane walls, with screenless windows and drapes instead of doors. The romantic Amazon Villa is by far the nicest room in this region. Comfort rooms and above have Wi-Fi, and all have electricity. Activities include visiting a macaw clay lick, hikes, an observation tower, and kayaking.
