★★★★★ · Río Madre de Dios

The lodge stands in wooden cabañas on the left bank of the Río Madre de Dios, adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve. It is reached after a 10-minute transfer from Puerto Maldonado Airport to the jetty and a 45-minute river journey downstream.

The 35 cabañas draw on Ese'Eja culture: timber, palm-thatch roofs and a private terrace, with no television or mobile-phone signal. The package runs on full board, with a breakfast buffet and three-course lunches and dinners, alongside a guided excursion programme that includes the Inkaterra Canopy Walkway, a bridge system 30 metres above the ground, twilight river cruises and outings across oxbow lakes in search of caimans, giant otters and macaws.

A choice for travellers seeking Amazon immersion with full service, naturalist guides and direct river access from the lodge jetty.

Rooms
