About Ceiba Tops Lodge by Explorama
Ceiba Tops Lodge stands on the bank of the Amazon River at Indiana, about 40 km from Iquitos, and belongs to the Explorama group of lodges. The last stretch from Iquitos is by boat down the river. Rooms have individual climate control, either one king bed or two twins, and a private bathroom, which helps in the heat and humidity of the rainforest. Gardens, a lounge and a hammock house fill the grounds.
Days revolve around guided outings. Typical ones include a canopy walkway above the forest, piranha fishing, night walks, visits to riverside communities, river dolphin watching and a stop at Monkey Island. Back at the lodge there is a pool with a water slide, a game room with a pool table, foosball and table tennis, and a bar with music. Meals are served buffet style, with Peruvian dishes and fish or chicken.
