Jungle Lodges: Posada or Sandoval Lake Lodge?
 

Up until this morning I was on a wait list for the Posada. In the meantime I had researched Sandoval Lake Lodge. Both are comparablly priced. I got reservation forms for both of them and I think they want payment upfront.

Would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with either. I have checked Trip Advisor and Posada comes out on top, but not sure if I can trust the reviews. I will be going in Sept and traveling alone as my travel companions are staying in town.

Inkaterra is too upscale for my budget, but does offer a special for rooms still available 20 days ahead of booking, that is not much more than other lodges. I'm a little tempted to wait and see, but don't want to loose out entirely. Is late Sept a busy time? Would you book a sure thing (Posada/Sandoval) or wait and see if Inkaterra is available at discount?

Inkanatura.com Manu Wildlife Center in Manu Biosphere Reserve my fav fo best wildlife

Inkaterra.com Reserva Amazonica best lodge if it is about best room

Sandoval ok if you cannot afford the others not a lot of true jungle wildlife around the lake usually

I just checked Manu. For anyone researching the options, it would be a 7-hour trip upriver by road and boat travel. The 4 day/3 night program is $1385...a bit pricey.

Any input regarding how busy lodges will be at end of Sept and waiting till then to book the best deal at Inkaterra?

Jackie,

I am seriously considering the Amazon Rainforest Conservation Center for my trip next year. More info here, http://www.latinamerica.co.uk/peruvian_amazon.htm - scroll down for details.

Thanks Treepol. I checked the website. Sandoval Lake lodge is on there and, with the price quoted in british pounds, is much more expensive than booking directly with the lodge.
