Brisa TropicaLodge — Hotel in Iquitos

I am generally more of a stay at home type of person but like to get out of comfort zone once in a while. I’ve always wanted to see the Amazon river and exotic animals of South America, so when my friend recommended this jungle lodge in Peru it seemed like the perfect trip for me to finally experience the Amazon rainforest. I have to say I was a bit nervous to travel alone to a place I’d never been before but, it was incredible! I found it to be an adventure-seeker's paradise. From thrilling jungle walks to serene canoe rides, every moment was a wild discovery. ||The sunsets were breathtaking, setting the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories. Highlights were having monkeys hang out on my shoulders while feeding them fruit and eating pirañas after catching them with my guide! I the lodge served buffet style 3 meals a day – the food definitely added a flavorful touch to this epic journey and allowed me to focus on the experiences. My favorite food was definitely the fried piranha! Surprisingly, my new favorite fish to eat. The only thing that I wish I had done differently is stayed 3 nights instead of 2. I had a blast but wish I could have stayed longer to really embrace the serenity of the jungle. Can't wait to embark on my next...

This lodge was so much fun. I love adventure and the excursions did not disappoint. I stayed with my girlfriend and it was just the kind of retreat we needed. We loved the food and the fact that it was buffet style. We also really appreciated that they had 2 different entrees for every dinner. I never knew the Amazon had freshwater dolphins in it! We saw hundreds of them. Also we saw monkeys, sloths, and river otters! We hope to visit again. |This lodge was so much fun. I love adventure and the excursions did not disappoint.
