A hybrid solar and diesel system at Achuar supplies the energy needs of the lodge. All guest rooms have 110 volt power, are efficiently energy-saving lamps, and have electric outlets for recharging camera or personal device batteries.
No artificial illumination exists along the boardwalks since it could modify the behavior of nocturnal animals. You will need to bring a flashlight with you for use when walking to and from your room at night.
All drinking wáter is filtered. We provide glass carafes of purified water in your room, and there is always a large dispenser of purified drinking water available.
You do not need to lock your room. It is a very safe environment; and you can keep your valuables. There is also a safe in the main office at Achuar Lodge.
Swimming can be safely done in the rivers dolphins around the lodge. The water temperature is perfect and refreshing. Swimming, or just gently drifting down a river in a rubber inner tube, can be a highlight of your stay so be sure to bring a bathing suit.
