★★★★ · Río Madre de Dios

The lodge is divided between the main house and cabañas on raised decks, within a 380-hectare private reserve in the buffer zone of the Tambopata National Reserve. It is reached after a short transfer from Puerto Maldonado Airport to the river and around 20 minutes by motorised canoe.

The cabañas, in dark timber, have a private bathroom with a hot-water shower and forest or oxbow-lake views. The casa grande gathers the dining room and bar for buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners, with an upper-level lounge open to the rainforest. The package runs on full board, with a guided excursion programme that includes walks, boat rides, the canopy walkway, a visit to a mammal clay lick and tours of the medicinal botanical garden.

A choice for travellers seeking Amazon immersion with full service and naturalist guides, a short boat ride from Puerto Maldonado.
