The Amazon Expeditions lodge is called “Curassow Lodge” . The name Curassow Lodge comes from the name of a rare bird called the Waddled Curassow. The Waddled Curassow, a threatened species near extinction has been spotted several times in the area of our lodge and we’ve named our lodge in it’s honor.
