Description

One of the longest running hotels in the Explorama Lodges collection, this simple lodge remains a popular destination for travelers who wish to get close to nature and don’t shy away from rustic living. While you won’t find hot showers here, you will enjoy spectacular sunsets, vibrant flora, and unspoiled wildlife. Guests can swim in tranquil rivers, take an exciting night excursion, and enjoy a tour of the famed hanging bridge walkway suspended 115 feet (35 meters) above the jungle ground.

Maintaining a low profile in this lush setting, this medium-sized lodge caters to the traveler who enjoys the simple life. The Explorama Lodge offers an opportunity to appreciate modest touches, like a cool shower or the soft lighting emitted from a kerosene lantern. Covered wooden walkways connect the main common area to the various sleeping quarters. There is also a bar and a delightful Hammock House.

Explorama Lodge’s dining hall is particularly charming at night when lit up by kerosene lanterns. Simple yet tasty buffet-style meals are based on fresh local produce and the standard international fare.

Room Amenities
