Irapay Amazon Lodge

Just returned from a visit to Peru including time at Irapay Amazon Lodge. My wife and I traveled with one other couple. We enjoyed our time at IRApay immensely. We found the facilities to be clean, food excellent and staff friendly and courteous. The resort is on the banks of the Momon River and it was enjoyable to watch the river traffic go by. Our individual cottage was clean and comfortable. The food quality and variety was beyond expectation and we found that even when we told the staff to reduce our portions to half-size, they were oftentimes still too generous. Prices were reasonable. We were given exceptional service by our guide Alberto, who spoke excellent English (the only English speaking staff person) and was extremely attentive to our needs. We also were assisted by Charles who, with Alberto, took us on an evening river tour in search of wildlife and a walking tour of the jungle. Charles was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and, with Alberto as his interpreter, gave us explanations of what they were and what they were used for. Our trip into the Amazon was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was fantastic. As much as we enjoyed the food and amenities of IRApay, we feel that it was Alberto and Charles that made the experience as enjoyable and memorable as it was. I understand that Alberto recently left IRApay and, in my opinion, that is a major loss for IRApay and future customers.
