I came here in July 2019 travelling alone around Peru. I wanted to experience the Amazon jungle but was on a reasonably tight time schedule (3 weeks) so couldn't stay for too long. I found the experience to be one of the highlights of my trip and met some great people too. I actually ended up staying for 2 nights/3 days which I would recommend as 1 night simply isn't enough. I found the experience to be authentic and our tour guide was really knowledgeable about the forest and the animals there. The whole thing feels flexible which suited me, with the guide offering us a range of activities which we could do during the mornings and afternoons. We got to complete jungle treks, swim in the river with dolphins, visit local animal sanctuary's and even visit some local tribes. I would definitely recommend this for anyone travelling to Peru who wants to see the rainforest but who might not necessarily have the time/funds to complete a longer expedition. I am a 25 year old male.

I've had a priveleged opportunity to experience ecolodges around the world - from the Peruvian Amazon to the African Serengeti. The Grand Amazon Lodge and Tours was most definitely a highlight for me. From the moment my beau and I checked in to the time we left in somewhat of a distressed rush due to the impending Coronavirus quarantine, we were treated with a welcoming friendliness that made us feel we were part of an extended family. Our experience was so much more however, as I was assigned a private guide who showed me nature by way of the river and an amazing land trail that ended in a majestic ficus tree that - at least to me - symbolized the rainforest experience. The food was exquisite and featured tantalizing local Peruvian dishes as well as international fare that was flavorful and artfully presented. Facilities are relatively new - about a year old with large rooms and plenty of storage, comfortable beds, private shower and a porch hammock. All rooms have river views. Be prepared to wake up to nature as our alarm clock was the melodious serenades of jungle birds, the shrieks of howler monkeys, and the nearby gentle splashing of the capybara feeding in the water. No modern-day alarm clock needed. And then there is the free WiFi. We found this absolutely essential when confronted with the emergency quarantine of Peru and our connectivity allowed us to make last minute changes to our flights so we could be airborne before the midnight border lockdown. Yes, it's nice to go off the grid but in times of emergency, it will limit your ability to respond quickly. Plus, as a working journalist, it's necessary that I am able to file assignments on a timely basis. My beau and I will be back as this was such a unique lodge with a setting that was nothing short of paradise. Everything was simply over-the-top, from the service, staff and accommodations to the cuisine, nature and exquisite location in paradise.

This was an excellent trip that was made possible by Howlanders! They were able to include the Lares Trek as the Salkantay trek, which we previously booked, was temporally closed because of rains. The communication was excellent and the tour company in Peru, InkasDestination was Top Noch! I got some altitude sickness and our guide, Luis, went to the pharmacy to get me medication. The next day, I felt better than ever! Truly amazing service! Going to Peru?, use Howlanders to book your tours and you won’t be sorry!!
