An incredible experience. The work was calm, during the morning shift, helping at the reception and with cleaning some rooms, and everything went as agreed. For me, the highlight was Aurora's cuisine, with some of the most complete and delicious breakfasts and lunches I have tried anywhere in the Amazon. The lodge is perfect for disconnecting, being in the middle of the jungle and living in a slower pace. It is well worth it if you are looking for peace and to disconnect a little from the world. They now have internet and a washing machine. The town is very quiet. I am very grateful!

The experience was fun; Aurora taught us about the local gastronomy and everything about the place. Aurora is a charming person; we are grateful to her for her kindness and empathy toward everyone, always trying to improve and give her best. We recommend this experience if you enjoy gastronomy and sampling it!

Miradon the reservation was a beautiful experience; we were able to try a fairly wide variety of local food and get to know the town of the reservation; Aurora is an excellent person, respectful and always willing to listen to our opinion.

The Lodge was very quiet, the tasks were simple, Alessandra helped in the kitchen, it was the most enriching part, we took all the recipes with us! What was proposed was respected, very good communication. Ideal for disconnecting (no wifi or washing machine, so everything is done the old-fashioned way) :) Aurora and Nixon welcomed us with open arms, and always concerned about our comfort. We are made to feel at home and spoiled us like children. Some of the loveliest people we have met. Thank you very much for giving us a space more in Indiana, we take a piece of the Amazon with us <3.
