Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the Madre de Dios River, the remote outpost is reached exclusively by motorized canoe seventeen kilometers downstream from Puerto Maldonado.
The rooms
Private wooden cabañas feature screened terraces, mosquito netting draped over crisp cotton beds, and dedicated work desks with lockable drawers.
At the table
Dishes incorporate fresh Amazonian produce, served family-style at long wooden tables in the central dining pavilion.
How it began
Conceived as a training base for Inkaterra guides and researchers, the lodge opened its doors to support hands-on Amazonian conservation.
