ACCOMMODATIONS
The ACTS Canopy Walkway Lodge and Explornapo Lodges are comfortable but rustic. Both lodges only have pit toilets and shared showers, all clean but not in the rooms. Both lodges have very good meals. The Muyuna Amazon lodge is nicer with private bathrooms though still somewhat rustic. Hotels in Iquitos are comfortable and similar to moderately priced hotels in other Peruvian cities. In Iquitos the accommodations are moderately priced, comfortable hotels.
