“This eco-luxury lodge faces the Madre de Dios River in the rainforest of Puerto Maldonado. Wooden guest cabañas, deep in the vegetation, have traditional palm roofs and canopy beds; book a luxury suite for a terrace and plunge pool. Take a hotel boat tour into the rainforest; a unique escape.”

Hotel review

Eco-luxury may not be a familiar term to you, but a visit to Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica quickly makes apparent what the term consists of; hidden in the thick, lush vegetation of the Peruvian Amazon, close to the Bolivian border, this refined lodge offers guests an intimate place to connect with nature while experiencing all the comforts of a boutique hotel. The hoteliers draw on indigenous culture through the use of Ese Eja style buildings with high ceilings and palm roofs. Guest accommodation is made up of private cabañas and suites connected via a series of elevated canopy walkways, frequented by native wildlife at night. Inside the suites, high-quality cotton sheets and a mosquito net guarantee a good night's sleep, in spite of the tropical setting. The hotel offers two luxury Tambopata suites with a private plunge pool and terrace, ideal for cooling off on hot nights. The all-inclusive prices at the hotel include a range of activities to explore the rainforest, from guided nature walks with local experts to boat trips along the river at night. The packages also include meals at the hotel restaurant, which serves hearty Peruvian classics made from fresh produce supplied by the hotel's own farm. The real stand-out facility at this lodge is the ENA spa, stocked with products based on local Amazon ingredients. A beautiful rainforest getaway with a luxury finish.

Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica

You can have your David Attenborough moment in supreme comfort at this award-winning eco-lodge in the Peruvian Amazon, spotting caimans, anteaters and howler monkeys by day, then retreating to a smart cabaña or a spacious suite with plunge pool and hammocks come evening.
