The main building is a 33 foot by 100 foot platform divided into 12 double rooms. Each bedroom is furnished with two beds draped in mosquito nets, a chair, a night table with a kerosene windlamp, and a table for luggage and clothing. To the left of the main building a 20 foot-long, roofed passageway connects to the bathrooms containing flush toilets and shower stalls. To the right of the main building a 15 foot-long, roofed passageway connects to the dining room and meeting room which in turn is connected to the kitchen. Neither Posada Amazonas nor Tambopata Research Center have electricity.
Light is provided by numerous kerosene lamps and candles.
A generator is turned on once a day to recharge batteries for tourists or lodge facilities. At night it is very dark, so we recommend good flashlights. Our boats are 20 foot canoes with foldable couched seats and a roof. Passengers are protected by the sun and rain by the roof but we suggest keeping your rain gear and sunblock handy in case the sun's rays or rain drops come in slanted. There are life vests in every seat.
