Amazon EXPLORAMA LODGES has been successfully operating in the Peruvian Amazon for over 40 years. A total of over 10,000 acres of Private Primary Rainforest Reserve surrounding their lodges is protected by Explorama and can be visited by their guests. Most exciting is a walk on Explorama's famous Amazon Canopy Walkway, accessible to guests from the company's FIVE Lodges, where the vantage point is unequaled for observing Amazon wildlife and vegetation without the need of any special climbing skills or equipment.
Explorama Lodge is located 50 miles down the Amazon River from Iquitos on a small tributary located in the Yanamono Reserve. |

All of Explorama Lodges’ programs begin in Iquitos with the reception of guests at the airport by their naturalist, multilingual guide and travel by bus from the airport through the Rubber Boom City of Iquitos. Many of the buildings of Iquitos were constructed during the Rubber Boom in the late 1800's, and the Portuguese tile and Spanish metal work from that time are still in place. At Explorama's Office and Amazon River Dock, guests board rapid river launches or the new three-decked Amazon Queen to start their river expedition into the Amazon Rainforest.

At the lodges activities include day and night walks in the rainforest reserves, visits to black water lakes to see giant Victoria Regia (Amazonas) water lilies and sloths in their natural habitat, boat excursions in search of Pink Dolphins as well as piranha fishing, night canoe rides, visits to a Yagua Native American Community with a chance to try their famous blowguns tipped with poison when used for hunting, visits to local “Ribereño” or River Villages to see their school and learn how Amazonian daily life is synchronized with the movements of the mighty rivers, and a visit to a local Rum Factory where sugar cane rum is prepared into a local drink called “cachasa”.
