    Magical

    My guide Miguel grew up in the Amazon jungle which allowed him to speak to animals and his ability to spot animals was incredible. He has eagle eyes for sure. The lodge was clean, good food, and very relaxing since no internet. You are in complete nature which is beautiful. I saw many animals w Miguel. It’s definitely unforgettable experience. Bring good bug spray, those mosquitoes are insane

    Nice trip

    Very nice trip. The tour guide La Li is very experience and nice. Every thing arrange is very well. We see the money, bird and finishing the Piranha, then cooking them. but I think the summer is hot, and no air-condition. Also the shower water is come from the river.

    Outstanding, Unique & Mindblowing

    What an OUTSTANDING, UNIQUE & MINDBLOWING experience. Note that you are in the middle of the amazones with an authentic and traditional comunity with around 20 amazing activities you could choose from. The people are friendly, accommodating and with endless knowledge of the area. They take care of you at anytime and I can tell you, you'll get surprised by everything they have to offer. Needless the say, it is value for money or even a bargain! Totally recomendable. Joel was our guide and Wilson the driver. They are quite and very respectful but feel free to hit it off with them ;-).

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review about your experience with howlanders Ricard 😃 We are very happy to know that you had the experience in the Amazon jungle as it deserves. No doubt Joel and Wilson along with the rest of the lodge staff make this trip a unique dream and something to add to your bucket list.

    Unforgettable time in the Jungle

    This was the highlight of our six week trip in Peru! We will never forget the awesome time we had in the peruvian amazon. The organisation of the Libertad Jungle Lodge was flawless! We were picked up at the Iquitos Airport directly after we arrived and after the trip were brought back to an adress of our choosing in Iquitos. During the time of the trip we did not have to worry about a single thing and were very well taken care of. The lodge is a community run project by the local villagers of the Libertad village next to the lodge. The chefs cooked is incredibly delicious food typical for the peruvian jungle all made from local ingredients. For every meal we also got fresh juices from jungle fruits we sometimes haven‘t even heard of before. Upon arrival in the lodge you sit down with your personal jungle guide and talk about all of the things you can do during your trip. It is then up to you to come up with a plan together with your guide and get a individualised program that perfectly fits your needs. From piranha fishing over watching and feeding monkeys up to watching dolphins and the sunrise & sundown over the amazon, there were plenty things to do. Thanks to our guide Larry who grew up in the jungle and had an astounding knowledge about the flora and fauna in the jungle we had an unforgettable time in the jungle! If you book in groups you will get a discount because there are more people with one personal guide. I higly recommend booking a trip to the jungle in the Libertad Jungle Lodge because you will have an unforgettable time! We booked via Howlanders and were very pleased by the flexibility of the organisation! They were very kind and helped us with all of our needs, even when we had special requests.

    Response from the operator: What a joy to read that you had the time of your life in this experience with howlanders 😍 Your detailed review will surely help many travelers not to hesitate and book with Howlanders, so they will enjoy this unique experience and our top-notch travelers care service! We look forward to your next adventure, we have wonderful experiences waiting for you.

    Very accommodating and honest company

    Planned Iquitos trip with 12 y old son. LATAM airlines changed flights 6 times, Howlanders accommodated all of those changes: delayed pickups, transportations, etc... And finally that SARS-cov-2 virus killed the trip - Howlanders refunded the whole trip costs. Very well run and honest company.

    Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you very much for your kind words about your experience with howlanders. We want you all to stay on the road when it's all over, so we've been working hard to adapt to the situation and offer more flexible cancellation policies. The Iquitos Jungle Adventure awaits you, and when the moment comes to pack again, we will be here to help you plan your new trip!

    3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Iquitos.

    How much does 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge cost?

    +

    Prices start at $542 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Iquitos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Iquitos is not rushed.

    Is 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Iquitos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Iquitos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Iquitos and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Iquitos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Iquitos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Iquitos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pacaya Samiria Mystical 3 Days, 4 days 3 nights on the banks of the Amazon River, Amazing Jungle 3Days 2Nights - Amazon Wonder Expeditions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Iquitos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Iquitos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3-Day Private Amazon Tour from Iquitos | Community-Owned Lodge?
