This bright, enticing lodge is one of the southern
Amazon's best. Its spacious rooms, fashioned out of reclaimed timber, make you feel like
a well-to-do early 20th-century traveler. The serene location could hardly be better, with
an on-site rainforest learning center and laboratory, its own private
cocha
(an indigenous
word for lagoon) and the beautiful Lago Sandoval barely a stone's throw away. There is
electricity a few hours a day.
