Description

Ceiba Tops has the reputation for being the most luxurious lodge in the northeastern Amazon, yet it has cleverly maintained a rustic charm by incorporating natural local materials into the architectural elements seen throughout the lodge and lovely grounds. The sprawling layout of the guestrooms, dining hall, and Esmeralda reception salon convey a sense of peace and provide the proximity to nature that one looks for during a Peru Amazon vacation.
When not exploring the numerous trails around the lodge with exceptionally well-informed guides, the large pool and waterslide situated in the heart of the complex is sure to entertain the inner child in you. For those who like to stay connected while traveling in these remote parts, rest assured; wireless Internet is readily available as you recline amongst the swaying poolside palms.

Ceiba Tops offers many excursions that are sure to keep guests entertained. You will be able to hike around the gorgeous jungle reserve and take an early morning boat ride where you can expect to see dolphins. There will also be a visit to the Yagua village where your bilingual guide will explain Yagua Indian culture and traditions. Also easily accessible from the lodge is the famous Hanging Bridge Walkway, a 1,640 feet (500 meter) bridge suspended among 14 of the largest trees in the area. This dramatic demonstration of engineering offers an amazing impression of life among the treetops.

The lodge’s spacious and airy dining hall serves delicious and hearty buffet meals prepared with fresh local ingredients. You will be delighted to find an abundance of exotic fruits and tasty fish caught fresh from the region’s rivers, as well as delectable national and international cuisines.
