THE EXPERIENCE

THE ARRIVAL

Picture yourself arriving at Nomad Lodges after a long international flight. A two hours boat will bring you to your lodge right before sunset. You reflect and spend a moment contemplating these magical sights of an untouched and raw nature. Suddenly you let go. You’ve reached your final destination and start embracing the spirit of the Amazon.

The flooded forest and lakes of Tarapoto are highlights.

It takes a two-hour trip on the water before you reach a place far beyond everything imaginable. A wooden dock is coming out of the jungle and leading up to a massive tree. The river is impressive and beautiful, the forest loud and dense.

Members from the nearby Tikuna community will welcome you and help you to carry your luggage to your Cocoon Suite.

YOUR LODGE

Our very attentive staff has taken care of everything for you and you just got to your lodge where we’ve set up a surprise welcome amenity inspired by local traditions. You pour yourself a glass of wine, walk to the balcony and admire the views. Night melodies start to intensify, toads, the soft sound of water hitting the shore and night birds. You start to feel like one with the environment.

20 familles of the nearby village participated to this pathway.

Our 70m2 Cocoon Suite, a perfect balance between Luxury & Sustainability. You will enjoy the confort of a king size bed surrounded by the Nature. The best combination to recover from stress.

All our excursions are private and accompanied by a local Tikuna guide and interpreter. Our exclusive location in the middle of the three main ecosystems of the Amazon is a must.

THE EXPEDITION

After a long and restful night, you’re ready to start the adventure and you decide to explore the surroundings. After packing your binoculars and your camera, you leave the resort early and penetrate the dense jungle. You’re only a few steps away and have already spotted multiple fantastic animals, not even minding your presence. The natural order has been restored. This is how thing should be, every specie coexisting peacefully.

The Tamandua mostly eat ants, termites, honey and bees.
