Absolutely! At AWAKEN, the safety and security of our guests are of paramount importance. Our resort in the heart of the Amazon jungle is designed to be a haven of tranquility and safety. Here are some key aspects that ensure your security and peace of mind during your stay:

1. Guided and Secure Travel to the Resort: Upon your arrival in the region, guests are accompanied to the resort by our trusted staff. This ensures a secure and worry-free journey from the moment you land.

Thanks to Starlink's advanced satellite technology, AWAKEN offers high-speed internet connectivity. This not only ensures that you can stay in touch with the outside world but also adds an extra layer of security, as we are always connected and able to communicate swiftly in case of any need.

At AWAKEN, we blend the untouched beauty of the Amazon with the assurance of modern safety measures, ensuring that your time with us is both enriching and secure.

When planning a visit to the Amazon jungle, it is standardly recommended to be vaccinated against yellow fever. However, it's important to note that in the area surrounding AWAKEN Yoga Resort, which is close to Iquitos city and various river communities, there have been no reported cases of yellow fever or malaria in recent years. 

The months of March, April, and May typically mark the rainy season in this region, which can be associated with an increased risk of dengue. However, dengue fever is more commonly reported in densely populated areas. Since our resort is situated at a distance from the main city of Iquitos and other communities, the risk of contracting dengue during these months at our location is considerably low.

Despite this, we strongly advise all our guests to come prepared, especially in terms of protection against mosquitoes. We recommend bringing strong mosquito repellents containing a minimum of 15% DEET. This precautionary measure will help ensure that your stay is comfortable and that you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Amazon with peace of mind.

Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist before embarking on your journey to the Amazon. They can provide the most current advice and recommendations based on your individual health needs and travel itinerary.

At AWAKEN Yoga Resort, we take great pride in offering our guests a delightful culinary experience with a focus on freshness and local flavors. Here's what you can expect regarding our dining offerings:

• On-Site Restaurant: Our resort features an on-site restaurant where the meals are prepared with utmost care. The ingredients we use are locally sourced, primarily from our own gardens and fish ponds, ensuring that the food is not only fresh but also supports our sustainability ethos.
• Seasonal and Varied Menu: Given our commitment to using locally sourced ingredients, our menu is seasonal. This approach allows us to serve the freshest produce while reducing our carbon footprint. Our standard menu includes a variety of vegetarian dishes, fish, and eggs. Please note that we do not serve meat at our resort.
• Villa Amenities: Each villa is equipped with facilities for tea and coffee, along with snacks like local 'chifles', which are delicious banana chips - perfect for a light bite.
• Catering to Specific Dietary Needs: We understand that some of our guests may have specific dietary requirements or preferences. If you have any such needs, we kindly request that you inform us in advance. Our skilled chefs will make every effort to tailor dishes that cater to your dietary considerations.
• Shopping and Special Requests: If you desire specific items that are not typically part of our menu, we recommend bringing these from Iquitos, as there are no shops on the resort premises. The nearest small shop is located in a nearby community, about 20-30 minutes walking distance. For guests planning a longer stay at AWAKEN, we can arrange for specific orders to be delivered from Iquitos city upon request.

We strive to ensure that your dining experience at AWAKEN is not just nourishing for the body but also delightful for your taste buds, while being in harmony with our ecological values.

Being in the midst of the Amazon rainforest, it's natural to encounter a variety of jungle inhabitants. However, at AWAKEN Yoga Resort, we have taken extensive measures to ensure that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable, balancing the authentic jungle experience with the comforts of modern living.

• Safe and Secure Environment: Rest assured, there are no dangerous animals roaming freely on our resort's premises. While we are located in the heart of the jungle, our proximity to nearby communities and vigilant safety measures help ensure a secure environment for our guests.
• Protected Accommodations: All our accommodations are designed to keep the natural elements and wildlife outdoors. The villas and common areas are well-protected and isolated, ensuring that animals and insects cannot enter. This design provides a serene and safe space for you to relax and unwind.
• Navigating the Jungle Safely: One basic but essential rule in the jungle is to always stick to the paths. Venturing off the beaten track is not advisable for safety and environmental reasons. Our well-defined paths provide safe and enjoyable routes to explore the natural beauty surrounding us.
• Mosquito Precautions: While we are situated in a low mosquito area, their presence can vary with the seasons. During the dry season (July to February), mosquitoes are minimal, especially during the day, allowing guests to comfortably enjoy our terraces with the aid of mosquito repellent in the evenings. In the rainy season (February to June), you might encounter more mosquitoes, particularly in the evenings. However, during daytime, the environment remains pleasant.
• Mosquito-Protected Sleeping Arrangements: Understanding the importance of a peaceful night's sleep, especially in a jungle environment, we have taken extra care with our sleeping arrangements. All our beds are equipped with high-quality mosquito nets, ensuring that you can rest comfortably and undisturbed. These nets are meticulously maintained to provide maximum protection while blending seamlessly with the aesthetic of our villas.
• Villas with Mosquito-Proofing: In addition to the beds, each villa is fortified against insects. The structures are designed to prevent mosquitoes and other insects from entering, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty and sounds of the Amazon in comfort. This mosquito-proofing is part of our commitment to ensuring your stay is relaxing and rejuvenating, providing a sanctuary where you can unwind after a day of adventure and exploration.
• Dressing for the Jungle: Regardless of the season, we recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants as a precaution against mosquitoes and other insects. This simple measure goes a long way in enhancing your comfort while you immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon.

At AWAKEN, our goal is to provide a harmonious balance between experiencing the untamed beauty of the Amazon and enjoying the comforts and safety of a premium resort.
