Opened in 1998, within the Peruvian rainforest. The Loving Light Amazon Lodge offers untamed jungle which you can freely explore under the guidance of multilingual naturalist escorts. Located on the Yanayacu River, a tributary of the upper Amazon River, approximately 100 kilometers southwest of the town of Iquitos (1000 kilometers northeast of Lima).
It will accommodate up to 40 guests, though on average they have 10 to 15 guests at any one time. In addition to the 10 guest huts (all elevated and connected by bamboo bridges), there is also a spacious dining area, a bar where guests can enjoy native music and singing, a hammock lounge, and the Shaman's ceremonial cottage.
Mosquito netting surrounds all structure. The Loving Light bungalows are spacious, bug-proof and offer flush toilets, showers, and sink with fresh water from an on-site well. There is a garden area within the guest hut sector. All bungalows are connected by covered walkways.
Some of the lodge activities include fishing (piranha, tuna,
bass, catfish), jungle trekking, canoeing, down river village exploration, bird
watching, alligator gazing, shaman ceremonies, ethnobotany, and swimming with
the pink river dolphins.
While there is no electricity, they do have a generator and refrigerator so as to be able to provide cold refreshments (as well as store any medications which require refrigeration). A 14-passenger speed boat can return to the city of Iquitos in about three hours. The Lodge also serves as a base camp for those who desire an extended trek via boat or canoe.
