Paradise Amazon Lodge & Adventure — Hotel in Las Piedras

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights. We had booked a tour to Tambopata via an agency in Cusco, and this was the lodge that they partnered with.

Our room (in a bungalow) was clean and very basic. We had a relatively comfortable stay, but that's because we came with very low expectations. There are no fans in the room, so it can get stuffy for those not used to a tropical climate. Our main bugbear about the room was the extremely weak water pressure in the shower: it was just a trickle most of the time.

Electricity is only available in the evenings too (around 6-9pm), so you'll need to plan accordingly to ensure your electronic devices are charged. A headlamp is thus essential, not only for the activities, but to move around at night (e.g. go to the bathroom) when the electricity is out. There's also no WiFi or phone signal at the lodge, which is nice for a digital detox.

The positive aspects about our stay were the activities. The highlights for us were the boat ride at night to do some caiman spotting (saw a capybara too), the canoe ride on Lake Sandoval (saw many birds and squirrel monkeys), and of course the clay lick. For those who like the thrill of adrenaline, the "sky walk" (walking in the canopy on a thin wooden plank) and ziplines should provide a decent dose.

We didn't interact much with the lodge staff as our guide (Willian) served as the interface. Nevertheless, Willian was great and had good energy. We could tell he was very experienced based on the speed he was able to identify the animals we saw.

The meals at the lodge were pretty good. Portion sizes were alright, but not too big, so bringing some snacks will be handy if you're peckish like us. The chef cooks a really good lomo saltado (we've tried many in Peru), and we were glad to have tried the...
