Fodor's Expert Review Tahuayo River Amazon Research Center
Iquitos, Loreto, Peru
Inside the Reserva Comunal Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo, this rustic lodge provides almost constant exposure to nature. Although the private bungalows on stilts are a little spare, and bathrooms are shared, the quality of the food, excursions, and guides is top-notch. Additional payoffs are the views of the rainforest, the Tahuayo River, and abundance of wildlife. More than 600 bird species and 15 monkey species live in the surrounding forest, and the river holds a multitude of fish and caimans.
PROS
- abundant wildlife
- great food and excursions
