Amazonas Sinchicuy Lodge
 The
first and the largest of
Paseos Amazonicos Jungle Lodges facilities,
is located on the Sinchicuy Creek, a tributary
of the Amazon River (45 minutes downriver, NE of
Iquitos)
near the river community of Santa Maria de Ojeal.
This
lodge has been built on high terrain (it never
flows). After walking up the stairs that
connects the wharf with the lodge, visitors find
themselves in what it seems a beautiful tropical
garden where a great diversity of flowers, birds
and butterflies abound. Found within the
spacious "main house", the lobby, the front desk
and the dining-room and bar areas; right next
and connected to this building by an elevated
walkway, stands the panoramic "round house" used
as reading-room, gallery, auditorium and also as
second dining facility whenever necessary to
serve large groups.
Rooms are located on the opposite side of the
"round house" and like-wise connected to the
"main house" by an elevated walkway. Most of the
32 rooms are doubles but there are also triple
and even quad rooms. All of them have private
bathrooms with shower. Rooms and public areas
are screen-protected against insect and
intruding wildlife. Additional to the previously
mentioned buildings and rooms, this lodge has a
hammock room, an observation deck to the creek,
kitchen, storage rooms, laundry, public
bathrooms and service support facilities.
The Amazonas Sinchicuy employs sustained water
supply and water treatment systems; environment
friendly solid and liquid waste disposal and
biodegradables treatment; approved fire safety
devices and procedures; food conservation
equipment and SFHP (Safe Food Handling
Practices) in the food and beverage service;
emergency telephone connection 24 hours a day.
Also, the Amazonas Sinchicuy has rooms and
specially designed facilities for people with
disabilities.
