We had an incredible three nights at Muyuna. The entire staff were incredibly helpful, from the reservations team, to the guides, to the drivers of the boats. We felt safe the whole time and I don’t think I have ever met such a genuinely hospitable group. The food was delicious - some of the best we had through our two week stay in Peru - and the rooms, though basic, were comfortable and functional. The views out onto the river were lovely and one of the highlights of my time there was swinging in my hammock and watching the world go by.
Most of all, we loved having Melissa as our tour guide. How she could spot so much wildlife from such a distance I will never know! We saw sloths, monkeys, capybara, snakes, all kinds of birds, caimans, and a host of other animals. She really felt like a friend by the end of the few days, and I hope our paths cross again some time.
None of the activities were particularly strenuous, and they were well timed in terms of their frequency and duration. We were also surprised by how few mosquitoes we encountered at the lodge itself, though we did get bitten while walking in the forest behind the lodge. I was able to buy a mosquito net for my head at the lodge, along with some other basic supplies.
All in all, I would highly recommend a stay at Muyunq and I would happily return. They clearly care about sustainability and the local community, and it was a flawless experience from...

Lunch was served MMM yummo amazing home cooked meals and make sure you try the hot sauce. Rodger took us fishing for Piranha! That afternoon, I didn't catch any but the amazing wildlife that I saw I'll remember for ever, he's amazing ability to spot a bird, monkey, Iguna from a distance outstanding, to be able to summon monkeys wow, each day 3 times a day he took us for an adventure, taking great care to make sure I felt safe and comfortable even though at times I was stuck in mud and needed saving. I'm in awe of Rodgers knowledge of the jungle he spent hours taking us on journeys so that I could have wonderful memories of my once in a lifetime trip to the Amazon, I'll be forever grateful to this man. The meals at the lodge awesome, make sure your try the tropical fruit basket.

Read moreOur stay at Muyuna Lodge was an unforgettable experience, blending excitement with relaxation in the heart of the Amazon. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm and friendly staff including Dany, who made us feel at home in this remote paradise. One of the highlights of our trip was our guide, Donaldo. His extensive knowledge of the Amazon's flora and fauna was truly impressive. He was not only informative but also passionate about sharing his expertise, making each excursion fascinating and educational. The lodge itself was a haven of tranquility. Despite being deep in the jungle, everything was incredibly well-planned and organized. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploration. The meals! Every single dish was the best I've had in Peru! The vegeterian (soy based) lomo saltado was out of this world. Shout out to our driver Mario who helped us a lot! In summary, Muyuna Lodge exceeded all our expectations. The knowledgeable guide, the friendly and attentive staff, the food and the well-structured itinerary made our stay memorable. If you're looking for an authentic Amazon adventure, Muyuna Lodge is the perfect choice. Highly...
