Amazon Ecopark Jungle Lodge

My wife and I enjoyed our time at the Lodge. The staff is amazing, they did everything possible to make our stay the best it could be. The reception by Tellus and his team made the start of the stay start right. Shout out to Shimir, he is extremely knowledgeable of the region and went above and beyond expectations to share key insights on the Amazon Rainforest. I highly recommend property.

We stayed at the Ecopark Lodge in October at the end of the dry season. The river was very low so we had to take a car to drive to and from the Lodge. The wet season was expected to start in a few weeks time so anyone visiting from then on should see much more water in the Rio ***** The staff at the Lodge couldn't do enough for us, and we would like to thank them all for making our stay so memorable. Our room was very comfortable and the air conditioning great. We loved the natural pools - so relaxing after the outings in and around the area. Special shout out to Moses who was a fantastic guide. He knows so much about the flora and fauna and cares very much about the environment. Thank you to everyone for making our visit great.

AMAZING. We went here for our honeymoon and every single moment was breathtaking. The experiences you have and the staff are out of this world and a once in a lifetime experience. I could not recommend it enough. If you want an Amazon adventure, knowledgeable and kind staff and great accomodations and food then this is the place for you!

This is a wonderful hotel. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. The air conditioning is good. The room is clean. The property is really unique to separate you from the busy city life. The restaurant foods are wonderful with different menu and really enjoyed our 3 nights stay. The only complain I have is the shower water is not strong, and we just take longer shower time.

Guided tours are “canned “ 20 minute trips less than 1/2 mile from the “Lodge”. Our assigned guide was dismissive and unhelpful. Food safety is minimal. I personally witnessed a jam jar full of insects put out for guest 3 days in a row. Wait staff are excellent and friendly. Housekeeping staff are thorough and professional.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for our first visit to the Amazon. We had a very good time but this lodge is better suited for families. It is not necessarily the best fit for young, childless 'adventure' tourists. This lodge does a great job of making the Amazon accessible for most travelers. There were guests from all over the world and of all ages here. Several full family groups (grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles, etc) were there at the same time as us. Guides at the lodge appeared fluent in Portuguese (duh), English, Spanish, and Japanese. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The tours were not quite what we expected. The "jungle hike" for example was more a walk through the rainforest on a well-traveled path. "Night canoing" was sitting in a motor boat. All of the wildlife we saw was tame-ish. Monkeys living on the reserve and cared for by staff. Dolphins living in a particular part of the river and hand-fed fish ala Sea World. Again, very accessible for most travelers. The cabin itself was fine. The walls were VERY thin and our neighbor, an older businessman, seemed to live in his room and yell at people via video call all day long. I also didn't like the lack of netting around the bed. I know there aren't really mosquitos in the area but it keeps out other things too. The AC was crazy and I had to turn it off at one point. Pro tip, if the unit doesn't beep after you hit the remote keep trying. There was plenty of storage in the room but nothing that locks. We used a luggage lock because the room's door lock seemed a bit iffy. Bedding was clean but the mattress was a bit lumpy. You will need a Brazillian plug convertor if traveling internationally. The bathroom was very small. I don't know how the families with kids managed. But it was well-stocked with toiletries and towels. The stall shower has an electric hookup to warm the water. The water wasn't cold but it never really got hot. The food was ok. Not like you can go somewhere else if you don't like it. I think they were a bit thrown off by us being vegetarian though We always mention when booking. Breakfast and lunch was consistently better than the dinners. There will be food to suit most preferences. I can't guarantee the quality. The big challenge for us was the floating mats of grass. This was an unusual challenge for the lodge related to the recent draught. The tributary leading to the lodge was basically clogged with all this grass. You can't stand on it because it is on top of the water. You can't force it to stay in one place for long because it is not anchored. You don't really want to touch them because insects and snakes are living in them. The grass made it very difficult for the boats to navigate during tours and airport transfers. One boat got stuck in the grass for some time. We left early to the airport for this reason but ended up making it with plenty of time. Despite these challenges, the skilled and diligent staff developed a go
