CHULLACHAQUI LODGE

 


Our Lodge is located 97 km from Iquitos next to the little Rio Tapira. It takes about two hours by boat to reach the lodge which is in the middle of a nature paradise. In 2006 a new lodge, built the traditional way was opened. The construction of wood and other natural materials was done in harmony with the nature as far as possible. Currently we have room for 40 people in rooms with private bathrooms or shared bathrooms. The halls, the dining area, the rooms and all other facilities are lightened by simple lamps. We have no electricity except a generator which is used for the water pump exclusively. Our guests should have the maximum nature experience. We organize eco-cultural activities in our area in order to promote a lasting tourism. Our location is perfect in order to go on hiking- trips through the primary jungle, go piranha fishing, or just go on tours to spot exotic animals such as slothes, caimans, pink and grey dolphins, reptiles, all sorts of apes birds and of course the fauna with its impressive trees and plants such as the giant water lilies. Besides that we are visiting a little jungle village with which we do many cooperation projects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The legend of which we named our lodge
According to the legend Chullachaqui is a forest ghost, who leads people who have gone to far into the jungle the wrong way on purpose. He is doing this in a very clever way by pretending to be someone you know. He names good reasons to follow him: For example a nice hunting prey or good materials for house or canoe construction. He is imitating animals pretty good as well. The victim only realizes the camouflage by taking a look at his feet because the Chullachaqui has feet of different size or just one real foot. He is not able to camouflage this by his transformation.
