We had a wonderful time in the amazonian forest, but only because the amazonian forest itself, with its gorgeous scenery is absolutely incredible. We spent 2 full days there and had a great time thanks to the amazing local guides, especially Suyu, whose enthusiasm and sense of humour contributed to making our experience memorable.

That being said, the lodge itself is very disappointing. The sheets were all dirty. when we asked for new sheets it wasn’t given to us. Anything we needed, we had to ask twice, or more. Toilet paper wasn’t changed etc. The service was bad. The people at the reception (Leo and another girl) were cold and unpleasant.

As per the food, its good enough if you come with no expectation. However, we had been told that the food in the amazonian region was fabulous and it definitely wasn’t anything special. So, if you are looking for delicious food, you should look for it elsewhere. Also, if you have food restrictions, don’t expect to be accommodated. I told them early on i eat fish but no meat and yet many of my meals were rice, potatoes and salad.

To conclude, definitely do visit this part of the world!! This lodge is OK but its overrated

Staying at Liana Lodge is an amazing experience starting with the last leg of your journey there, which you have to take by boat. There are plenty of interesting activities on offer (look at the web page) that will teach you so many things about the jungle and the local people. Don't miss the night walk!
The rooms are located in wooden bungalows, are very big with private bathroom and warm shower, and include balconies to watch and listen to the jungle wildlife. There is no electricity in the rooms but you can use the sockets at the main building.
The main building offers a hotel bar to relax right at the river and from a view point you can watch various kinds of monkeys feeding on leaves and fruits.
Staff (both locals and foreign volunteers) are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. There is always someone at the main building to answer your questions.
