Our unique Accommodations
Our accomodation is distinct from any other lodge in the Amazon. Because at Mandari Panga we offer comfortable tents instead of enclosed cabins. We feel that staying in tents offers our clients a better opportunity to truly experience their surroundings. We want our clients to enjoy the jungle sounds, aromas and fresh air without the ‘disturbers’ of a cabin.
Our tents are complete with mattresses and bedding, and are set up on large sheltered platforms. The platforms are complemented with a chair and a hammock for relaxing during your stay. A community house is used for meals and social gathering, and the site has shared bathroom facilities complete with shower. Our accommodations are basic but comfortable. But the experience of your stay will be something unique and special that you’ll never forget!
