Calanoa Lodge

Surrounded by luminous greenery where birds, monkeys, butterflies and more live, it is a small lodge with just four cabins designed in an architectural style that blends traditional materials with modern lines and open sides to let in immersive jungle views (and not mosquitoes). These can accommodate up to eight people in separate bedrooms on different floors, but couples and small families will get a cabin to themselves.

A wooden path connects the cabins with the main pavilion where there’s hammocks, river views and a communal dining area. Calanoa’s cuisine is a fusion of local Amazonian traditions with Brazilian, Colombian and Peruvian cuisine, made with organic and fresh local produce.

Activities at Calanoa range from hiking the Calanoa Natural Reserve and the Amacayacu National Park with experienced indigenous guides, river trips and canoeing, exploration of diverse kinds of forests, camping in the forest, and visits to indigenous communities. Specialist interests such as sport fishing and bird watching can also be catered for.
