Private, intimate Amazon rainforest tours in Peru
Your Amazon adventure should feel personal and flexible. That is why every Iquitos Amazon tour with Grand Amazon Lodge & Tours includes your own experienced, friendly, and knowledgeable English- and Spanish-speaking private guide.
From the moment you arrive in Iquitos — whether we meet you at the airport before 3:00 pm or pick you up from your hotel at 10:00 am — your guide will be with you throughout your journey. They will lead your morning, afternoon, and night excursions, going at a pace that is comfortable to you and focusing on the animals and activities you prefer.
Most importantly, a private guide gives you something no large group tour can offer: meaningful, uninterrupted, intimate time with your family or friends in one of the most extraordinary places on Earth — and that is priceless.

Why Choose UsOur Wildlife and Community Projects
A release site for rescued manatees
In April 2023, two Amazonian manatees rehabilitated by RAREC (Rainforest Awareness Rescue & Education Center) were released into the protected waters by the lodge — which serves as their post-release research base. We have also released a giant anteater, two toe sloth and an armadilo.
Raising river turtles for release
Together with the local village, we reintroduce the Taricaya turtles into our area. After being placed in a sandbox, the eggs hatch and are raised for 3 weeks before being released back into the wild near our lodge.
Free medical care for river communities
With Nova Southeastern University’s Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, the lodge has brought free exams, treatment and medicine to hundreds of people in nearby villages.
Schools, supplies and opportunity
Alongside the Nevada Building Hope Foundation, the lodge helped build the area’s first high school and provides uniforms, shoes and supplies to local students.

Testimonials
The lodge staff made both the celebration of our Anniversary and my birthday so very special!! The staff at the lodge were all wonderful and friendly… We saw all 7 species of monkeys that live in the area. We saw multiple sloths. Too many bird species to count. A family of 9 capybara. And so many other animals. Just amazing!!
I can’t say enough good things about this tour and the people who run it. My experience was so much more than I hoped for. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and helped me see tons of wildlife… The chef is incredible, the lodge itself is absolutely beautiful, and the people who work there are so kind, welcoming, and eager to tend to your every need or desire. I highly, highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Grand Amazon Lodge & Tours. They made us feel at home in the jungle. Our guide went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our experience, we spent so much time on the Amazon river and saw so much wild life, it’s truly fantastic. Our tour was also individualized, so it did not feel like we were actually doing a tour. I recommend this place to everyone!!!
