You can sleep peacefully while the boat is moving down the Amazon River, allowing you to explore new regions every day. A cruise is also the best bet for seeing pink dolphins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You definitely need to pick a cruise that suits your interests, as the itinerary is set and unless you\u2019re traveling with your own group chartering the whole boat it cannot be changed. Not every activity will be interesting to your kids (or possibly even to you), so don\u2019t forget to read the fine print.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why didn\u2019t I take the cruise with my kids then this time? Honestly, for a simple reason: <strong>Amazon cruises require more time <\/strong>and this time we could allow a short stay. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0430-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0430-rotated.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0430-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0430-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Pick a Lodge in the Amazon<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picking the right place in the Amazon, starting from a country, then region, then lodge, can surely cause a headache. This time, due to flight availability, I was choosing between Peru and Brazil. Once I was set on the Peruvian Amazon, my choice came down to two options: Iquitos vs Puerto Maldonado vs Manu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manu seemed like the easiest option since we were already in Cusco, but to experience its beauty, it\u2019s necessary to spend at least 5 days deep in the jungle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iquitos kept coming out as the best option, but after chatting with numerous friends and travel enthusiasts, I concluded that it seemed more geared towards cruises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, I settled on Puerto Maldonado because of an easy direct flight from Cusco (you could also take an overnight bus) and then a quick flight to Lima.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we picked a place, I had to find a lodge. While at first I turned to Booking, I quickly realized that most lodges were full of complaints, which took me off guard. However, I quickly realized that it was due to the fact that some people didn\u2019t realize that a lodge in the middle of the Amazon might not necessarily have hot water or electricity 24\/7\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ended up messaging two places on WhatsApp and enquiring about available itineraries and rooms, and ended up picking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pe\/hacienda-herrera.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hacienda Herrera<\/a> as they were quick to reply and adjust our itinerary on short notice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"45108\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0559.jpg\" alt=\"puerto maldonado peru\" class=\"wp-image-45108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0559.jpg 900w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0559-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-id=\"45105\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0552-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"hacienda herrera uerto maldonado peru\" class=\"wp-image-45105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0552-rotated.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0552-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0552-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-id=\"45115\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0550-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"amazon lodge with kids\" class=\"wp-image-45115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0550-rotated.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0550-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0550-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon Lodge Stay with Kids in Tambopata Reserve in Puerto Maldonado in Peru (2 nights Stay)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We landed at the airport and waited for our shuttle bus to pick us up. Another family was arriving on the same flight, so all of us were brought to the office located right on the river to board the boat to the lodge. It was truly easy and hassle-free. Once we got on the boat, my son started to get nervous because the boat is quite narrow, but we arrived without any issues, and our suitcases were handled with care, which isn\u2019t given. When we visited Madagascar a year before, the staff was deliberately throwing suitcases in the water for no reason, which actually ruined a few items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a quick welcome drink and lunch, we were taken to our room. Kids were fascinated by the outdoor bathroom (the staff did mention it to me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it when traveling with kids). I was nicely surprised that our shower actually provided hot water.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-id=\"45111\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0425-1-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"kayaking in the amazon with kids Tambopata River \" class=\"wp-image-45111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0425-1-rotated.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0425-1-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0425-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"45101\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0437.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0437.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0437-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0437-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0437-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was time for our first activity. Usually the standard package includes an organic farm tour, but I thought the kids wouldn\u2019t have been too amused, so I switched it to <strong>kayaking on the Tambopata River<\/strong>. It was just us and another couple, so the experience was very personalized and calm. Since it was just two kids and me, I took the younger one with me on a kayak, and the older one shared a kayak with the guide \u2013 we did the same thing with ATVs in Peru.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The part of the river by the lodge is normally quite calm, as big boats don\u2019t tend to head that way, but about 30 minutes of paddling in a strange wave came and flipped my son and the guide\u2019s kayak. I think I was panicking more than him, though, because when I approached, he said the water was warm and it\u2019s actually quite nice. It definitely became one of his best stories to tell people\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We finished the day with a nice dinner and a nice cruise looking for capybaras, but unfortunately we only found some caymans and frogs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"45103\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0441-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0441-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0441-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0441-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0441.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-id=\"45102\" src=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0445-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0445-rotated.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0445-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annaeverywhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_0445-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the second day, we woke up early to take a big excursion to <strong>Lake Sandoval.<\/strong> It\u2019s a go-to excursion in the Puerto Maldonado area and what many describe as the best for wildlife spotting. The day started with 4 am wake up call to board a longboat for about an hour or so.

The kids didn\u2019t complain at all. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, we boarded another long boat to start cruising on Sandoval Lake.
