MILÍA AMAZON LODGE — Local services in Indiana

I give this star only for the good food and nice people. The staff of Milia Amazon lodge were nice and friendly people and the food was really good in this place. The lodge itself is a pretty one too and in a very good location. But the excursions and organizations were so poor . Our guide was a very nice guy, but too lazy to operate the tours as promised. We did not do any night tracking, or let's say we didn't do any tracking at all in Amazon woods. We only walked about 5 minutes behind the lodge to swim in a very small natural pool not the Amazon river itself. And the worst part about it, this was a substitution of our night track and we didn't know! The swimming itself was promised to be with the mud and in the Amazon river as well! We were supposed to watch the sunrise on our second day and he told us he would call us at 5 am , so I didn't set an alarm. But then he didn't call us with the excuse of "I've thought you're tired and need to sleep", you don't think, when you tell people you call them you do. We were only once there. The day after it was raining so we missed it totally. They cancelled our fishing tour too. Bad weather ! check the forecast and manage to exchange the program if you've already missed two activities by poor managing and you see us complaining. Most of the time we were at the lodge relaxing or going to sleep early because we promised to have something at 5 am, never happened! Long story short if your plan is to relax and have no adventures in Amazon, then this is a good spot. If you look for promised and adventurous activities Nah , this is not the right place to go. You will pay way too much for what you get. I'm so sad about...

Amazing family run lodge with great facilities and people. Special mention to Jorge, the English speaking guide who really made this an amazing experience. He has so much first hand insight into the jungle and some really interesting life perspectives. We particularly enjoyed seeing fireflies at night with him and dolphins on the Amazon River. The best tour guide we have ever had, and he deserves the best of luck with saving the jungle.

Most of the excursion consisted of personal, authentic experiences in the wild which were amazing, particularly with Jorge's knowledge of Amazonian culture, medicinal plants and wildlife. One criticism we had was about the 'rescue centres'. Some of them were like animal prisons with mistreated intelligent animals, particularly on the last day next to the native community (the other couple wanted to go to this rescue centre). It was very sad to see monkeys and toucans in small cages. The monkey island however was so much better, and shows how they should be treated.

I understand this is the way of life and not the fault of Milia, therefore I will keep the review 5 stars. However, I wish that Milia could consider the ethics of supporting these kind of businesses, who appear to rescue animals but then put them in a prison. This would reflect the values of the lodge who are very kind and caring people. Otherwise, the lodge and excursions were absolutely wonderful, and we learnt so much about life in the jungle and...

Pasamos cuatro días maravillosos en la Milia Amazon Lodge, donde todo fue descrito y completado. El programa de estancia se compone muy saturado y denso, hay mucho tiempo para descansar, y no hay para aburrirse :-)) Cabañas privadas son muy cómodas, hay toallas, jabón y champoo. No hay agua caliente, pero en las condiciones de los trópicos esto no es una gran desventaja. Cabe señalar que hay un generador en el ecolodge, por lo que la electricidad se sirve durante 1,5 horas por la mañana y por la noche durante 4 horas. Tenga cuidado, las redes móviles son inestables y la comunicación no está en todas partes. Las comidas se sirven en el comedor del lodge tres veces al día. El menú es local y delicioso. El personal es atento a los huéspedes, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Un agradecimiento especial a Carlos y Elliot, que han realizado interesantes giras. Fuimos a la selva, escuchamos las leyendas del Amazonas y visitamos las comunidades de los nativos. La buena organización de nuestro viaje es el mérito de la administración de Milia Amazon Lodge. Muchas gracias de Olga y Alexey

Мы провели четыре замечательных дня в Milia Amazon Lodge, где всё соответствовало описанию и было выполнено полностью. Программа пребывания составлена очень насыщенно и плотно, времени на отдых достаточно, а на то, чтобы заскучать совсем нет :-)) Размещение в комфортных условиях, есть полотенца, мыло и шампунь. Горячей воды нет, но в условиях тропиков это не является большим недостатком. Следует отметить, что в эколодже работает генератор, поэтому электричество подаётся утром на 1.5 часа и вечером на 4 часа. Будьте внимательны, мобильные сети неустойчивы и связь есть не везде. Еда сервируется в столовой лоджа три раза в день. Меню локальное и очень вкусное. Персонал внимателен к гостям, проявляет внимание и всегда готов помочь. Отдельное спасибо Карлосу и Эллиоту, которые провели интересные экскурсии. Мы ходили в джунгли, слушали легенды Амазонии и посещали общины местных жителей. Хорошая организация нашего отдыха это заслуга администрации Milia Amazon Lodge. Большое спасибо от Ольги и Алексея.

We spent four wonderful days at the Milia Amazon Lodge, where everything was described and completed. The stay program is very saturated and dense, there is a lot of time to rest, and there is no time to get bored :-)) Private cabins are very comfortable, there are towels, soap and shampoo. There is no hot water, but in the conditions of the tropics this is not a big disadvantage. It should be noted that there is a generator in the ecolodge, so electricity is served for 1.5 hours in the morning and in the evening for 4 hours. Be careful, mobile networks are unstable and communication is not everywhere. Meals are served in the lodge's dining room three times a day. The menu is local and delicious. The staff is attentive to the guests, attentive and always ready to help. A special thanks to Carlos and Elliot, who have done interesting tours. We went to the jungle, listened to the legends of the Amazon and visited the communities of the natives. The good organization of our trip is the merit of the administration of Milia Amazón Lodge. Many thanks from...
