Amazon Arowana Lodge

The stay and tours at Arrowana Lodge was amazing, The people at the lodge went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They even took care of dieteray restrictions. Kudos to Anderson and Larissa for giving us

This felt like you were staying with a local family because they stay on the lodge property too. The staff was amazing and caring. The property is in a beautiful area and the guides have things to do multiple times a day. The meals were home cooked and offered a lot of variety. Overall I can’t say enough about the people and the location and the service. Suggestions for travelers include not taking a big suitcase, leave that at a hotel in Manaus and pack just the clothing needed for the lodge. Sit with others during meals, I met so many nice fellow travelers who made me, a solo traveler, feel comfortable. Take books, it’s so peaceful and relaxing, a great place to read and really disconnect.

The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora. Everyone is very friendly. The food is typical for Brazilian standards, but more is provided then you can ever eat. Unfortunately, the beds do not have mosquito nets, so the only way to keep them out is to constantly have the AC running on low temperature, which gave me a mild cold for 3 days. I booked through Expedia and payed significantly more than my Friend who has a Brazilian passport. I stayed an extra day, which was cheaper then booking with Expedia. I recommend getting in touch directly via their website.

Lodge sull’acqua. Si trova in una zona dell’ amazzonia relativamente “urbanizzata”, vicino nell’area ci sono altre Pousada, case ed anche un piccolo villaggio. Lo staff era sempre gentile e disponibile, nelle visite guidate abbiamo ricevuto indicazioni sulle piante ed animali (pochi) che abbiamo visto tuttavia nessuna spiegazione più ampia sull’ amazzonia e sulle rainforests, sul Loro funzionamento e la loro importanza. Ho imparato di più documentandomi sulla guida. Questa secondo me è stata una grave pecca. Alcune stanze affacciano sul waterfront, altre sulla parte che confina con la foresta. Sono attualmente in costruzione altre camere ma non abbiamo sentito alcun rumore perché i lavori erano sospesi. In generale l’esperienza è stata gradevole tuttavia per quello che abbiamo pagato mi sarei aspettata qualcosa in più.

God mad, god service, personaler er meget hjælpsom, vil gerne komme tilbage hvis vi har råd til dette.
