CEIBA TOPS Luxury Lodge, the newest of
Explorama Lodges’, is located on the banks of the Amazon River just 25 miles from
Iquitos.
Ceiba Tops offers the comforts of home in the most luxurious of Amazonian
Rainforest settings. At Ceiba Tops, elaborate gardens, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi,
water slide, hammock house and the Esmeralda lounge all complement the
surrounding exotic environment. Ceiba Tops’ 75 ground level air-conditioned
rooms and suites all have private bath with hot water showers.
Guided excursions begin each morning and afternoon to learn more about the
surrounding rainforest and river.
All of Explorama Lodges’ programs begin in Iquitos with the reception of guests at the airport by their naturalist, multilingual guide and travel by bus from the airport through the Rubber Boom City of Iquitos. Many of the buildings of Iquitos were constructed during the Rubber Boom in the late 1800's, and the Portuguese tile and Spanish metal work from that time are still in place.
At Explorama's Office and Amazon River Dock, guests board rapid river launches or the new three-decked Amazon Queen to start their river expedition into the Amazon Rainforest.
At the lodges activities include day and night walks in the rainforest reserves, visits to black water lakes to see giant Victoria Regia
(Amazonas) water lilies and sloths in their natural habitat, boat excursions in search of Pink Dolphins as well as piranha fishing, night canoe rides, visits to a Yagua Native American Community with a chance to try their famous blowguns tipped with poison when used for hunting, visits to local “Ribereño” or River Villages to see their school and learn how Amazonian daily life is synchronized with the movements of the mighty rivers, and a visit to a local Rum Factory where sugar cane rum is prepared into a local drink called
“cachasa”.
