Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around France Amazinia, given its proximity to Jatun Sacha?

We've always been thrilled by the birdlife right from the lodge grounds, with toucans and macaws being regular visitors. While sightings of larger mammals like monkeys and peccaries are common within the reserve, don't expect lions or elephants; this is Amazonian rainforest, and the magic is in the smaller, more elusive creatures and the sheer biodiversity.

Is France Amazinia a good base for exploring the Estación Biológica Jatun Sacha y Reserva Selva Viva, and what are the best ways to do it?

Absolutely. France Amazinia is perfectly situated for easy access to the reserve's trails. We highly recommend hiring one of their local guides for your excursions; their knowledge of the forest and its inhabitants is unparalleled and truly enhances the experience.

What is the best time of year to visit France Amazinia for optimal weather and wildlife viewing?

We find the dry season, roughly from June to November, offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring. While the rainforest is always alive, during this period, trails are less muddy, and wildlife often congregates near remaining water sources, making sightings a bit more predictable.

What should we pack for a stay at France Amazinia, considering it's a guesthouse in the Amazon?

Lightweight, quick-drying clothing is essential, along with sturdy, waterproof hiking boots. Don't forget insect repellent with DEET, a wide-brimmed hat, and a good quality rain jacket. We also always pack binoculars for spotting those incredible birds and other creatures.

Beyond the reserve, what other unique experiences does France Amazinia offer its guests?

While the reserve is the main draw, France Amazinia itself offers a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. We love spending evenings on the veranda listening to the jungle symphony, and they can often arrange visits to local communities or canoe trips on nearby rivers for a different perspective of Amazonian life.
