ACTS Canopy Walkway |
I never got around to a post of these lodges, so here are some
photos. The ACTS field station lodge is
the smallest and most rustic of the ExplorNapo Lodges, but they fed us well and
had showers. It mainly serves education
and science groups doing work from the ACTS Canopy Walkway. After that we stayed at the Explorama lodge
which had indoor plumbing, electricity, a bar, and small gift shop. There, people from the local village demonstrate
traditional crafts and ways of living, and we bartered for handicrafts (bring
t-shirts, all they wanted was t-shirts! The fishing lures did not go over as
well as I had hoped). Our final lodge,
Ceiba Tops, is for those who want to experience the Amazon but still have A/C, indoor
plumbing, and a pool. It gave us a
chance to clean up before flying out of Iquitos.
