Cabins in Tarapoto

We loved the staff above all else. They were so friendly, kind, attentive, and helpful! We will miss the team at Villa Lu! They helped us to organize tours and welcomed us like family. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the pool so much we didn’t want to leave the hotel. The food was excellent as well. Thank you!

The view was Amazing, food delicious and a great hospitality service.

The host accommodated transportation to and from the airport. The property is very private and quiet. The space is modern and comfortable.

The human guardians in this community are as beautiful and as encompassing as the land, waterways and its thriving biodiversity.

I had a very peaceful stay at Puqio! The area is absolutely beautiful and the hosts were lovely. Perfect place to relax and unwind. I hope to return soon!

Such a great space with gathering areas indoors and outdoors.

There was a lot to like about this place. Always a supply of purified water; quiet accommodations; large room; little details like hangers for your clothes; a variable breakfast (not the same thing morning after morning); clean grounds, chair to sit in outside or a hammock; river access; could walk to town if desired; some restaurants offered delivery service (limited, but still, you had a choice.) Always a delicious b'fast - fresh juice, hot coffee, bread, peanut butter, jam/honey, butter, and a variety of main dishes. I often made a peanut butter/jam sandwich and took it with me for lunch. I was there a full week and enjoyed Huingos very much. I'd definitely book there again. The other thing worth mentioning is that I had asked to be picked up at the airport and was told that someone would be there with a sign with my name on it. And THEY WERE. This service was included by Huingos and for a single woman, non-Spanish speaking, this was REALLY appreciated.

The main thing about this lodge is that you are both really immersed in the natural environment but a walk or short moto-taxi ride from town. The more expensive luxury lodges further out of town maybe have more green space to explore and an even more secluded vibe... but this is a great compromise to experience both city and jungle at a great value price. Mindblowing fauna on-site - hummingbirds, woodpeckers, toucans and cute tamarin monkeys in the trees close by the bungalows (though as with elsewhere in the cloud forest area, you might need a telephoto lens or binoculars to see them as the canopy is so high). There was an abundance of butterflies and I had a praying mantis on my door one morning. As a naturalist who loves insects it was totally magical to stay here... the biodiversity is off the scale - amazing to have this 10 minutes from the town centre. By Urku down the road I also saw a monitor lizard ( a few metres long ), frogs at dusk and a macaw above the river. As a solo English traveller, having Christian there to translate for me also made a huge difference. He offered me lifts to town / elsewhere...booked me taxis... and generally went above and beyond as a host. Thankyou so much Christian! All the other people who worked there were also very kind sweet people, ready to help me when needed too. Like many places in Peru, it's gated and has a night guard ( also a lovely guy )... so it feels safe despite it's isolation. Tarapoto in general felt safe to me and I loved visiting the colourful town as well - I'm glad I didn't miss out on that being at the more remote lodges.
