Family hotels and homes in Lamas

Chirapa Manta is an incredible place surrounded by nature. You can hear the sounds of nature all the time and see many butterflies and other small animals. The accomodation is beautiful and comfortable, and Claudia, Javier and the staff are amazing hosts, always available to guide and help. I did the Harmonization program and I highly recommend it. I hope to return one day. :)

Beautiful quiet place with a spacious wonderful garden. Fantastic pool with a marvellous view. Lovely & attentive staff. Excellent place to recover.

Amazing property!! DO NOT second guess yourself We originally booked for two nights but after the first night we extended our stay another 6 nights. Great staff, beautiful property, safe, super clean and well tended property. Breakfast was amazing every morning. The owners live on site and are super hospitable. I can’t imagine any other properties in the area compare.

The accommodation is very pleasant, the interior is just fantastic including a beautiful small garden where also the breakfast is served, the owner and the staff is very friendly and extremely helpful (connection to our next travel destination was perfectly organized in a few minutes), the rooms are very spacious with a nice view, absolutely clean and convenient (air condition provided), the breakfast is excellent, taken together: top value for money

Breakfast was pancakes, selection of fruit, olives, cheese, muesli, fresh fruit juice. Coffee/herbal teas. Hot water available throughout the day Very nice!

They picked me up from the airport and brought me the next day to the colectivo station for free 😊

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.

The couple that runs the b&b were wonderful and extremely friendly, comfortable accommodations, clean.

Lovely, quiet hostel (but surrounded by noisy roads), within walking distance of many of the collectivo stations and of the main plaza. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. It was very clean and felt secure. The wifi/internet/network worked well throughout. The small kitchen was available for use (but the hotel breakfasts were also prepared there for the guests having them). It came with a 4 hob stove and oven and a fridge/freezer and the usual pots and pans, but was lacking a bit on the cutlery. The breakfast was basic but enjoyable and varied slightly day to day. There were communial areas on the sheltered roof top with access to a large sink and tubs for hand washing clothes, and plenty of lines for drying them. Cash payment was prefered, with probable extra added for card payments. They could arrange tours of various types and prices. The reception was covered 24 hours a day. The actual bedroom had plenty of storage and good lighting, and came with fans and some rooms had aircon. The private bathroom was large, with good lighting, the shower pressure was dependent on the time of day. Hooks available for towels
