The lodge is in a high area overlooking a beautiful palm swamp ("aguajal"). This area attracts a lot of macaws and other birds. The food is amazing and they were really accomodating of vegetarian and allergic people. The rooms were nice and clean, and sometimes we had warm showers (they have a generator and solar panels). Both the manager and... More

Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable, overlooks a large area of jungle - perfect for watching all the mackaws. Excursions are very good and the food we had whilst away from the lodge... More

Amazing jungle experience, since we had Freddy, our guide. We got to see a sloth(!!!), however Freddy advised us you get to see this animal only once in 2 months. Other wildlife seen: cayman, tarantula, lots of monkeys, toucan, a snake ( non- venomous), giant river otters (family of 6), bats, macaws , lots of other birds and insects. Freddy... More

Estancia Bello Horizonte was the last stop on our 2 week trip in Peru (September 2011). Thankfully it hadn't really rained so humidity and mosquitos were probably much better than coming here during the rainy season. Our guide, Freddy, was wonderful. He knew a lot about all the plants and animals, he could spot things sans binoculars, and his English... More

I booked this lodge after reading about it in Lonely Planet and reading reviews on here. It was my last stop on a month-long trip around Peru, and although I loved the country and didn't want to come back, staying here made it a lot easier to leave. I agree with all the other reviews, the lodge is brilliant, set... More

Have some French and English speaking guides b ut check you are sure to get in advance. Lodge isn´t too far from town, but go further if you want deeper jungle. Food is... More

During the stay, we were the only group there so was like a private tour. The lodge was basic, clean and well kept. The staff was very responsive to... More

We loved every minute of our stay at Bello Horizonte. The food was excellent - really delicious with good variety. I'd brought snacks with me to the lodge but didn't eat any of them - we were so well fed! Our guide was a really nice guy with very good knowledge and was always very enthusiastic and helpful. The lodge... More

Stayed here with my husband for 2 nights in April 2011. What a beautiful ecolodge-gorgeous grounds and clean and simple rooms!!! It was great being so close to nature! Our guide Freddy was amazing-taking us on a private tour, always attentive and had the best eyes for wildlife we had ever experienced. The food was also amazing and plentiful. Everything... More
