Not organized well unless you do the tour option
We booked this lodge because it had a unique option to just book a room, and individually choose which activities/excursions you want to participate and pay for. Most places I found in the Amazon required to buy packages with an itinerary. However, when we arrived the first thing they did was try to sell us a packaged tour. We really did not want an itinerary and wanted to rest at our own leisure time. After that, the staff asked us multiple times if we wanted to go on the activities that were part of the packaged itinerary and seemed frustrated that we did not want to. There was pretty much no one around while the guide took the group out, so we couldn't ask to do nature hikes or any activities that we wanted on our own time. They actually turned off the power during the day while we were the only ones there and gave no warning of the construction, that prevented us from sleeping. The mattresses were filthy as well. My only positive notes are that it is close enough to the town to hitch hike with local fishers on a boat, and the food was very good. However, I asked a couple times how much the meals were since we were "a la carte" and no one told me until we checked out and the price was 25 soles a meal.
