Eco-lodge in the heart of the Tambopata Amazon reserve
In a unique part of the Peruvian Amazon, just steps from a rainforest home to over 540 species of birds, lies this unique lodge nestled in the Tambopata Nature Reserve. National Geographic Traveler magazine recognized it as one of the 25 best eco-lodges in the world in 2013.
This location provides an excellent base for exploring one of the most biodiverse areas of the Amazon. Guests can take cruises along the famous Madre de Dios River, observing numerous bird species in their natural habitat, including herons and ospreys, as well as other animals inhabiting the tropical forest.
Amazonian Nature – Madre de Dios River and Lake Sandoval
The area offers numerous trails and observation points allowing visitors to explore the unique ecosystem of the Amazon. One of these is a wooden bridge over the wetlands, from which visitors can observe snakes, reptiles, and numerous amphibian species.
Nature lovers can also enjoy a specially prepared 7,3-kilometer trail through the dense rainforest. Walking this trail allows you to see exotic trees and animals hiding among the tropical vegetation.
Nighttime jungle expeditions are also organized. It's after dark that many animals become active, and the forest is filled with the extraordinary sounds of nature.
Also nearby is Lake Sandoval, one of the most beautiful spots in the region. Among the animals you can spot here are red howler monkeys, colorful macaws, and the unusual hoatzins, which are often referred to as "prehistoric birds" due to their appearance.
Amazonia from the perspective of the treetops and tropical relaxation
One of the region's biggest attractions is the Inkaterra Canopy Walkway Interpretation Center – a system of bridges suspended high in the treetops. The structure connects eight viewing platforms, offering a completely new perspective on the Amazon rainforest.
The lodge offers spacious cottages surrounded by tropical vegetation. Many feature shallow plunge pools, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the jungle. The interior design is inspired by the culture of the Ese Ejja tribe, native to the Amazon region.
The restaurant serves dishes inspired by the flavors of the tropical Amazon. Dishes are prepared with local ingredients and often enriched with exotic products typical of the region.
There's also a spa on the riverbank, offering treatments using natural ingredients like cocoa and other Amazonian plants. One of the more interesting therapies is a cleansing ritual using cat's claw, which promotes lymphatic circulation and allows for complete relaxation surrounded by nature.
