Eware Refugio Amazonico

One of the best places I have stayed. The owner is a great and lovely person, very helpful.
Diversity on the food might be a good idea, however, very tasty what they cook.

I definetly recommend this place.
Thanks for the lovely time.

Had an amazing stay at Eware (‘euare’)!

Spent a total of 6 nights there and the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful organizing activities. The food there is also great!!

Carlos speaks English (one of the very few in that area..!) and has good connections and organizes all kinds of tours through the jungle for good prices. Also translators are also available.

They help organize the transfer from and to Leticia and will pick you up by boat at Puerto Narino, which was very nice.

The town is a 20min (sweaty) walk or they take you by boat (very easy) and the activities are well organized. Generally with a boat pickup at the hotel

The (2p) rooms are on the small side with not much cabinet or hanging facilities, maybe the luxurious rooms are bigger. However there is a good fan and mosquito net around the bed.

There’s also enough outside space & lines to hang wet clothes etc. Also hammocks on the front porch, pool, etc! You shouldn’t spend time in your room anyway!

Eware was an amazing Eco hotel! We loved our stay there! It is a very relaxing place very close to Puerto Nariño. The staff is friendly! Carlos and his mom are the best hosts. Carlos helped us with every detail during our trip to the Amazons and our children even got to feed the chickens. We loved the pool! Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed all the tours and meals. It was a wonderful experience! Can't wait to go back to Eware!

This is THE PLACE to stay. Carlos was just incredible in every way, helped us plan out every day the night before. The entire staff is helpful,
Wonderful- I shed a tear when we left after 3 days! The pics do not do it justice! Saw tons of animals on the property (tamarins, a family of squirrel monkeys basically live next door). Some of the best food we had in all the Amazon. We stayed in a double bed with a shared bathroom. Very clean, literally didn’t see a SINGLE bug in our room! (Shocking?) If you’re reading reviews, trying to decide where to stay- stay here. The main town of Puerto narino is only a 5 min boat ride away; they have their own boats that can take you. All the tours our host arranged were wonderful! The true Amazon experience! Cannot recommend this place enough! We are so grateful

This place is such a heaven. When we wanted to see Amazonas, we dreamt to stay somewhere just like this. Relaxing place in the jungle full of amazing bird sounds. In the first day, white mouthed monkeys came to one of the trees close to the dining area. Zoraida, mom of Carlos was always there, reassuring and genial. All the kitchen staff was so helpful, every meal was so filling and delicious.
Carlos was very helpful and thoughtful all the time. He gave many information about the area and made a reservation of ferry to Leticia for us beforehand. The place was very clean, they were cleaning the areas very often. We found the place a lot more comforting than expected for such a jungle stay.
In our stay of two days, we arranged two tours with them, Danny was our guide, he was such a nice and kind person with full of information and he was really good at understanding the soul of Amazonas nature.
I can’t recommend enough! I wish I could live there for some time.

In 7 months of traveling this is my far the best place I’ve stayed!!!! Gorgeous setting, comfortable and clean rooms. Staff were so helpful and the tours were great! Such a nice pool too. Food amazing. Just do yourself a favor and stop looking elsewhere and book 😊

Very recommended. 5 minutes by boat from Porto Nariño. True experience in the middle of the Selva Amazonas. Perfect place to relax. Carlos is the perfect host: he is very kind and does the best to make your experience perfect. I recommend the visit to the indigenous community of Sant'Antonio that the structure arranges.

Amazing place!! It's a bit further down the river than Puerto Nariño. It's very quiet and pretty. The owners are very kind. Every day we went on excursions that we arranged with the owner. In front is the famous lake with the pink dolphins! We had delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner here with every day a new dish. Given that you're in the amazonas, just don't expect WiFi to work and bring enough cash. Enjoy being connected to nature!

Amazing place in the middle of nature but still close to Puerto Nariño if you need anything from a store or want to eat in town. The rooms are comfortable and safe from any unwanted animal visits by having all windows covered with mosquito nets. The people there are also very sweet!

Carlos and his family run this incredible establishment, it's by far the most beautiful in the area and has an incredible amount of wildlife surrounding it (and in it) the front lawn is a wide large space, possibly the moat beautiful garden I've ever been that slopes off into the Amazon. Dolphin's, eagles, vultures and monkeys are all regular visitors and the sounds of the weaver birds and mesmerising along with the low cacophony of frogs which is very pleasing at night. I slept very well here and I have trouble normally, it really sang to my heart bring at the far end of Puerto Nariño , which itself is a very quaint town with its own unique vibe.
Lots of tours to discover and trips into the jungle. I highly recommend a stay here, it has a pool and a watchtower which I ventured up early in the mornings to witness the mist cleat as the jungle came alive. Absolutely amazing, I hope to return one day . Thanks to all at Eware 😍😎💯

I had the best experience at this lodge! Carlos was very communicative and accommodating. He really puts a lot of effort into assuring his guests make the most of their time in Puerto Narino. We booked a bunch of the tours (sloth, canyon, rainforest, and monkey tour etc.) and they were all so much fun! Our tour guides, Danny and Avellino were so knowledgable and friendly! The food was delicious. I highly recommend staying here! It was a truly incredible experience and I hope to go back here one day.

We spent 3 nights at the refugio and had a amazing time! Zoraida and Carlos are very welcoming. The refugios area is great, there is a big swimming pool and an own mirador. Also you can see monkeys from there. We did 3 activities organised by them - night walk through the jungle, boat trip to Lago Tarapoto, trip to San Antonio to see sloths - which were all very nice (each around 130.000 COP for two persons - 1,5 to 4,5 hours).

I stayed there for 2 days with my friends. It's a lovely place - beautiful, natural and peaceful. The owner Carlos is very helpful and friendly person. Hope to go there again one day!

it has been more than a year since I stayed in Eware and I still remember the feeling of calmness and happiness I felt. The world stops there and you are surrounded by pure nature, no internet, no distractions. At night you can just sit in the swing and watch the amazing nightsky and listen to the nocturn animals. It is magical.

This place is just wonderful. Very quiet, in the middle of the jungle with an amazing staff. The team is very listening and organised everything so you spend the best moment. I recommend 100%.
Muchas gracias por todo !

This was definitely our favorite place that we stayed at during our trip to Colombia. The family that owns this place was so welcoming and friendly. Even though my boyfriend and I did not speak Spanish, they were still so warm to us and accommodating. It sort of felt like a homestay but you still got privacy and space! The food that the woman (I feel so horrible for not remembering her name because she was so lovely!) cooked was our favorite that we had during our trip! The property itself is absolutely stunning that is right on the amazon river and the property has dogs, cats, chickens, rooster, and a turkey! We booked a couple tours through them and loved them and also got to meet the local people that way! Keep in mind that since this place is a bit off the grid, there is no wifi and a couple times the electricity shut off but we did not mind, it felt like a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of Leticia. I wish I could've expressed how much I appreciated their hospitality, I truly would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay! - Sarah and Robinson, USA

Nice hotel. The guides are local and the tours completely respetful with environment.

A wonderful place to connect with the Amazon jungle

Estancia INMEJORABLE en todos los aspectos:
- Entorno precioso y tranquilo, con piscina.
- Hay wifi y ventilador en la habitación (aunque hay que tener en cuenta el horario de luz)
- Carlos estuvo siempre disponible, resolviendo cualquier problema que tuviéramos y dando facilidades para todo. Tuvimos problemas con nuestro vuelo a Leticia y decidimos adelantar un día nuestra llegada a Eware con la intención de pernoctar en la selva esa noche, ya que no teníamos entrada en el hotel hasta el día siguiente. No era posible pernoctar ese pero Carlos nos ofreció cambiar la noche de hotel y organizó nuestras excursiones, así que nos arreglaron la habitación sobre la marcha.
- El hotel ofrece servicio de comidas y cenas, además de bebidas en la piscina. El desayuno está incluido y es muy completo, con café, huevos, pan, fruta, jugo... El último día teníamos que salir muy temprano y nos lo preparó antes de tiempo.
- Para llegar a Leticia puede hacerse a pie durante 35 min o mediante embarcación (si Carlos está disponible te lleva él mismo o si no arregla con alguien). No nos cobro en ningún momento por ello. Hay que evitar ir a pie a partir de las 8-9 p.m., ya que sueltan perros agresivos para vigilar el internado de camino al pueblo.
- Las excursiones son increíbles, con gente local. Nosotros realizamos las de San Antonio en Perú (perezosos), lago tarapoto y pernoctada en la selva. Muy recomendables, sobre todo las dos últimas (gracias a nuestros guías Jose, Segundo y Eli). Después de pernoctar en la selva con Eli es posible visitar la reserva Wochine, que lleva su familia y donde rehabilitan varios animales. Merece mucho la pena.
- Te facilitan botas de agua para toda la estancia, muy necesarias para las actividades.
- Todo se paga al finalizar la estancia (incluido las excursiones) y posible pagar con tarjeta, aunque tiene un sobrecargo del 5% como en casi todos los lugares.

Como aspectos a tener en cuenta y que son comunes en la zona:
- La luz funciona de 5 p.m. a 1 a.m., incluyendo los ventiladores.
- No hay agua caliente, la ducha es a temperatura ambiente (correcta para el calor de la zona).
- La cobertura es deficiente, aunque se dispone de wifi en el alojamiento.
- Al encontrarte en la selva, puedes recibir la visita de algunos pequeños animales incluso en la habitación.

Superó todas nuestras expectativas, el lugar es un auténtico paraíso. Las caminatas por la Selva, y tours así como los guías, tanto Daniel, como Elio y Ramiro EXCELENTE.
