Facilities and Rooms - Heliconia Amazon River Lodge

Our lodge facilities were built with friendly criteria to the environment and always complying with safety standards, a key aspect of our business. The Lodge has a traditional and rustic design of the houses in the Amazon River and was built on stilts by the proficient teachers of Yanamono Community.

The Lodge is an eight-building complex, four of them belonging to rooms, the lobby / Bar, dining room, kitchen, pool area and other common areas. The roof of the lodge is built entirely using branches of palm leaves called “crisnejas” while the floors in the common areas are wooden, the floor in the bedrooms are tiles *.

The twenty-one rooms, restaurant, lobby/bar and hammock bungalow are completely protected by screens (prevents the entry of mosquitoes) and connected by corridors roofed with palm leaves.

The twin, double and family rooms are spacious and comfortable. The walls dividing each room were built using a combination of native wood with dry wall, and also have ceilings that provide privacy for each room. The side that overlooks the forest and gardens has terraces (where hammocks are located) or 2 large windows on each side keeping the rooms ventilated. All rooms have private bathrooms and hot water for showers which is supplied by the Amazon River previously crystallized chlorinated.

The rooms are not soundproof.
