Green Diamond Amazon Lodge

Had an amazing time at Green Diamond! The staff were very welcoming and the site is well kept and homely. Our lodge/bungalow was well equipped with a large bathroom, 2 comfy beds, a terrrace with hammock and many mosquito nets. The food is amazing with every meal being different and interesting. Our guide, Josè, was incredibly knowledgeable and spotted many things on our excursions that we never would. We had a birthday in our group when we were there and they helped us buy a cake to celebrate. Thank you.

This place is amazing 😀 We stay for 2 nights and we enjoy the jungle with all this sounds at night! The blue parrot 🦜 also is the highlight of the lodge! Ένα εκπληκτικό μέρος για να μείνετε στη καρδιά της ζούγκλας και να περιηγηθείτε στο πάρκο Tampopata και στη λίμνη Sandoval.

It’s a must to enjoy the Amazonian whole experience. The staff has taken care of us and feed us with delicious homemade dishes. Thanks very much to Dalai, Hugo, Alexa and the wonderful Jose, the best tour guide!

Overall a great experience. Did the 4 days/3 nights and it was filled with a good mix of activities and opportunities to relax. If I could do it again, I would just decline the native people tour. Sounds like a great idea but didn’t feel like we got a lot out of it. But everything else was great. Food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. The guides are knowledgeable and we learned a great deal from them. The power isn’t on all day but it was really nice to disconnect. Yes, there isn’t hot water for showers but it’s so hot and humid that we never wanted anything but cold showers.

We had a great stay! The lodge was just as pictured, clean and comfortable bungalow, good food and amazing staff. I brought snacks because I was worried about being hungry but the meals were large so there was no need. We would certainly come back!

Pros: If you’re lucky enough and they hired a freelance guide named Bryan (ig: amazingvacations_tambopata) you’re in for a great time for the activities. He’s the best guide I’ve ever had. He’s very passionate and knowledgeable about the jungle and his job. He goes the extra mile to make sure his tourists are doing well and get to experience as much jungle life as possible. When I was sick, he was practically my emergency doctor. He’s super fun and reliable. Cons: This lodge does have their own permanent guide, I think his name is Jose. He’s not very friendly and put me through some troubles when I tried to arrange a departure time with the lodge. Everyone would mostly likely get this guide for their activities at this lodge since he’s the permanent guide. There are no fans in the rooms and they only have electricity for a few hours everyday with only 1 electric fan in the entire common room. They don’t have any hand-held manual fan. It got extremely hot during the day and I had multiple heat strokes. The rooms are not that clean (especially the bathroom) for the price that they charge (~ $400 USD per person before tips for 4 days). The bathroom floor and walls are moldy and slimy. Top of the mosquito nets have tons of dead insects upon our arrival, it seemed like it wasn’t cleaned before our checkin. I forgot whether they’ve mentioned that they don’t have hot water, but there’s no hot water for showering. There are also no water from midnight till ~6am, so good luck if you need to use the restroom at night. The food had enough variety, but quality and quantity were insufficient. Meals are mostly consisted of carbs. I also started having food poisoning symptoms since I arrived at this lodge. Not sure if it’s something in the food or the water. Some staff in this lodge (I think her name is Dalaï based on what Jose told me) also tried to push my departure time an hour earlier so she could pickup the new guests immediately when they arrived without taking another trip for her convenience and cost. I had to contact one of the upper management of the lodge and express the fact that just because I’m a guest who is leaving doesn’t it make it right to completely sacrifice my convenience so they could please the new guests. Eventually this manager was able to work out a much more reasonable departure time for me.
