Dawn comes soft and humid on the Amazon as a fast boat slips away from Iquitos and the city shrinks into a wall of green. The river opens, brown and wide, and the lodge appears like a quiet pause between waterways — a basecamp for boats, night walks and long hikes beneath a living canopy.

Pack a small dry bag
