Heliconia Amazon River Lodge

Heliconia Amazon River is located on the banks of the majestic Amazon river (margin left side) in Yanamono’s Communal Reserve, to 80 km away (50 miles away) from Iquitos City. Reserve that deserved the recognition to possess the most quantity of arboreal species in this part of Amazon jungle. This recognition and the characteristics of Yanamono’s Ecosystem commitment us to protect each portion of this jungle with daily sustainable work with the local communities.

To access this place, you must fly to Iquitos from Lima on a daily commercial flight that lasts 90 minutes. From the airport you will be transported to the port of Bellavista, where you will board our speed boat and take a ride for an 1 hour and 15 minutes downstream of the Amazon River

Our lodge facilities were built with friendly criteria to the environment and always complying with safety standards, a key aspect of our business. The Lodge has a traditional and rustic design of the houses in the Amazon River and was built on stilts by the proficient teachers of Yanamono Community

The Lodge is an eight-building complex, four of them belonging to rooms, the looby / Bar, dining room, kitchen, pool area and other common areas. The roof of the lodge is built entirely using branches of palm leaves called “crisnejas” while the floors in the common areas are wooden, the floor in the bedrooms are tiles *.

The twenty-one rooms, restaraunt, lobby/bar and hammock bungalow are completly protected by screens(prevents the entry of mosquitoes) and connected by corridors roofed with palm leaves

The twin, double and family rooms are spacious and comfortable. The walls dividing each room were built using a combination of native wood with dry wall, and also have ceilings that provide privacy for each room. The side that overlooks the forest and gardens has terraces (where hammocks are located) or 2 large windows on each side keeping the rooms ventilated. All rooms have private bathrooms and hot water for showers which is supplied by the Amazon River previously crystallized chlorinated
