Think sturdy walking shoes, rain gear just in case, and insect repellent for those evenings.

We recommend venturing into the sanctuary early in the morning or late afternoon for the best chances to see diverse birdlife, monkeys, and perhaps even some elusive mammals. The lodge is a perfect launching point for these excursions.

We found Hostel Faisal to be incredibly budget friendly, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking value in Peru. While prices can fluctuate, expect basic, clean accommodation. We suggest inquiring directly about meal options, as they are often available but not always included in the room rate, offering a taste of local Peruvian cuisine.
