A hotel in the heart of the Amazon jungle in Peru
Located in the heart of the Amazon jungle, this hotel captivates with its unique surroundings and closeness to nature. In 2017, it was named one of the best hotels in South America by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. It is located near the Tambopata National Reserve – one of the most biodiverse areas of the Amazon, where you can see an incredible variety of rainforest plants and animals.
The entire region is often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," as vast expanses of rainforest play a crucial role in climate regulation and oxygen production. The area is home to over 590 species of birds, including toucans, macaws, tanagers, and tyrants. In addition, the Amazon rainforest is home to numerous species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and an incredibly rich variety of exotic insects.

A stay at the hotel offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most fascinating regions of the Amazon. Local guides lead guests through the jungle paths, explaining the role of the rainforest and the functioning of one of the world's most complex ecosystems.
The Madre de Dios River is located nearby, serving as one of the region's main waterways. Boat trips offer a completely different perspective on the jungle and allow visitors to observe the animals living near the river. Hiking through the rainforest is also popular, allowing visitors to discover the Amazon's unique flora and explore its natural habitat.
Lake Sandoval is a particularly interesting spot. It's home to howler monkeys, Amazonian macaques, and caimans, among others. To ensure safe animal observation, special observation posts have been set up to ensure the fauna isn't disturbed and guests can observe its daily life in a natural setting.

The Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción hotel was built on the site of a former cocoa and rubber plantation. Remnants of these crops can still be seen today, serving as a reminder of the region's history. The hotel buildings are located in buildings that once belonged to a medical center run by a Catholic mission.
The rainforest surrounding the hotel stretches across 819 hectares. The hotel's gardens are home to numerous medicinal plants native to the Amazon, which have been used by local communities for centuries.
Guests can stay in cabañas—spacious cottages measuring approximately 45 square meters—or in rooms measuring approximately 19 square meters. All rooms are equipped with mosquito nets and offer views of the lush, evergreen jungle. Rooms feature cotton linens, hypoallergenic pillows, and bathrobes, ensuring a comfortable stay in a natural setting.
The hotel's cuisine is based on fresh, locally sourced produce. The chef prepares dishes inspired by the Amazon's regional cuisine, using organic ingredients typical of the region. Guests are also offered cooking classes where they can learn the secrets of traditional Peruvian dishes and learn how to prepare them themselves.
