How to get to our lodge
Our eco-lodge is located off the confluence of the Amazon and Yarapa river near a small village of Puerto Miguel, not far from the town of Nauta, and about an hour and half drive south of Iquitos, Peru. Flights to Iquitos from Lima generally range around $70-$130 with about an hour and a half travel time with multiple flights every day. Our taxi driver will be waiting for you at the airport, ready to take you to your hotel in Iquitos or directly to the town of Nauta. From there we go to the port where our boat will be waiting at the petroleum station ready to go. One of our guides will be there to take your bags and you will come aboard with your party as we take a cruise about an hour and a half down the river and into the jungle.
