This place is amazing. The rooms are open to nature. Fortunately it wasn't too busy so we had no guests in the adjoining rooms. As the rooms are open this could be a problem during peak times. Make sure you take some jandals with you as shoes are not permitted in the resort. The meals here are very good but hot food is served luke warm. There are no warmers to keep them hot.
<p>Lovely knowledgable guides- they have an incredible eye for the animals that we would have missed without them. I strongly recommend you pack good quality binoculars, only distance lenses for your camera and several quick-dry shirts you sweat a lot and regular t-shirts don't dry in the humidity.</p>
<p>This was an amazing tour. The guides were very helpful and spoke good English. Posada Amazonas was beautiful. Set in the middle of the Amazon Jungle with transport by river motorised canoe. The rooms were huge with 3 beds in the double room. We didn't have hot water, but it was so hot and humid outside it didn't matter. The dining room was huge with buffet meals that were varied and beautiful. There were many rainforest walks which were terrific, including the Observation Tower, parrot clay lick observation hides and night walks. We saw a lot of monkeys, birds and insects. The Oxbow Lake was very peaceful. Once again we saw many birds but the caiman and river otters were hiding the morning we were there. We did however have a lot of fun catching piranha on stick fishing rods. The guides took them off the hooks and threw them back. The visit to the Medicinal Garden was very interesting and informative, including tasting shots of the alcoholic medicines at the end. If we had more time it would have been good to stay 4 or 5 days.</p>
