CASA GREGORIO

Truly magical experience to be immersed in the community. Heike is a wonderful host. The activities, meals and lodging are all amazing. A great choice to wander, with comfort, in the breathtaking Amazon.

Fue una gran experiencia visitar San Martín y estar hospedado en Casa Gregorio❤️ Hay muy buena atención, desde antes de reservar me ayudaron resolviendo todas mis dudas y aunque fui por muy pocos días, se ajustaron a mi tiempo y me ofrecieron un gran intinerario✨ Todos son muy amables y es gran espacio para descansar y para conocer la selva junto a otros viajeros. Si me lo preguntan, por supuesto que les recomiendo este hospedaje y sus actividades para conocer el Amazonas

Geweldige ervaring in de prachtige Amazone! Ik ben samen met mijn reis gezelschap 5 nachten gebleven waardoor we na de activiteiten veel tijd hadden en konden ontspannen op de zolder en zwemen in de rivier, het is toch vakantie. De activiteiten waren goed georganiseerd en de locale gids kan je mega veel vertellen over de omgeving, planten en dieren. Zowel de eigenaar en de vrijwilligers maken het verblijven in de casa een feest en sluiten bij de maaltijden aan voor een gezellig praatje of spelletje in de avond. Ik heb echt een super ervaring gehad en wil via deze weg dan ook iedereen bedankten voor de fijne week! Ik hoop tot een volgende keer.

Not what I was expecting.

Completely agree with Er E's review: you are welcomed with really loud music (reggeton) coming from the town, which is less than ideal, and in our case went on until 10pm. And with earplugs from the lodge! Nowhere in the description of the lodge described this.

Small lodge equals sharing meals with up to 25 people - actually the place with the largest amount of guests I have stayed (again, no mention of this in the description of the lodge, there was at least 14 of us) Therefore not peaceful at all, especially having guests chatting until late (12am) which you hear very close by as again, no windows.

The night walk is nice but it is through secondary jungle so partially through fields.
The day walk starts too late in the morning (leaving around 8am), by the time you get there (9am) loads of birds are already hidden due to the heat (our own guide mentioned this, not too sure why we were not offered to leave earlier)

We crossed several drunken people during our walk through the community, which was also not a pleasant experience.

The activities are nice and the room was comfortable but the food was nothing especial and the whole experience is expensive in comparison with other places.

I communicated my concerns to the manager (noise) and was replied that "music can go on until 3-5am sometimes" and that the people of the village likes to "drink and party".

Why I am giving two stars?

1 - One star for prime Location. The surroundings are beautiful and you can safely swim in the peaceful waters of the amazon

2 - Top Guides. Really nice and knowledgeable

San Martín es mágico, aquí habitan personas llenas de sonrisas y mitos, el río Amacayacu es tranquilo y tiene el poder de llevarse tus penas, la comida es muy rica llena de amor y los guías turísticos son personas sabias y muy amables. Muchas gracias
