Fodor's Expert Review Treehouse Lodge

Yarapa River, Iquitos, Loreto, Peru

Bungalows at this unique jungle lodge are perched high in the branches of tropical trees, providing an unforgettable bird's-eye view of the rainforest and a 24-hour jungle soundtrack. Circular treehouses, with thatched roofs have screened walls and curtains, are reached by suspension bridges and are surrounded by greenery. You may spot monkeys, toucans, and other wildlife in nearby branches. Bungalows have comforts you might not expect to find in a treehouse, like lights, ceiling fans, toilets, and cold-water showers. Three-course meals, often featuring fresh river fish, are served in a large, thatched restaurant with screened walls and a second-floor lounge. Daily tours include forest hikes, opportunities to see river dolphins, and fishing.
