Muyuna

Muyuna Lodge is located 140 kilometers from Iquitos, up the Amazon River.  This is a small rainforest lodge, secluded, intimate, that GUARANTEES the observation of monkeys, birds, sloths, pink dolphins, fish, caimans, etc., in their own habitat.
The bungalows are comfortable.  They have en suite bathrooms and terraces facing the river.  As the lodge is small, the personalized service quality is comparable with luxury hotels, always maintaining respect to the environment.

Muyuna maintains a tight relationship with San Juan de Yanayacu village, which benefits from ecotourism in the zone

Muyuna Lodge Facilities

Muyuna Lodge is not a Resort. The bungalows are basic, but comfortable and clean.  There are no electricity, no internet, no cell signal, no newspapers.  What we try to do is to preserve the natural environment.

• The bungalows are fresh and are hermetically protected-mesh screens on the windows and roof, but maintain the privacy.
• Distribution is done according to what the customer needs (single bungalows, double or matrimonial bungalows, family bungalows, etc.).  In addition, each cottage has a full ensuite and modern bathroom.
• All rooms have a terrace with hammock overlooking the forest or the river where you can see, for example, dolphins swimming in flood season. You can be pleased by colorful sunsets and by the deafening silence of the rainforest at night.
• The lamps give a magical touch to the tropical night, as there is no electricity in the lodge.  The hallways are also lit.
• Due to the low population density in the area, there are no antennas, therefore, no cell signals.
• We are in constant communication with Iquitos office by radio. In the afternoon, using a small generator, we can charge the batteries of cameras and lap tops.
