Tamshiyacu, Loreto

Detailed location provided after booking

Scenic views
This lodge is situated along the Yanayacu River, approximately three hours by speedboat, southeast from Iquitos City along the Amazon River. The Yanayacu River, meaning “black water” in Quechua (Incan language), receives its name because of the darkness of the water given by the minerals from the highlands. Having only one entry way, the lodge is located in a small tributary of the Amazon, making it intimate and solitary, surrounded only by nature.
