Inkaterra amazonas lodge: 3 options for your amazon trip!
inkaterra amazonas lodge: 3 options for your amazon trip!Inkaterra Amazonas Lodge has three hotels in the Tambopata National Reserve, an area known as the “biodiversity capital of Peru.” The three hotels, Reserva Amazonica, Hacienda Concepción, and the Inkaterra Field Station, deliver an amazing experience to travelers eager to explore the vast flora and fauna of the Madre de Dios region. But how can travelers decide which of the three hotels is right for their Amazon experience? Here, we share an overview of each of the Inkaterra Amazonas Lodge properties to help you decide which Inkaterra hotel is right for you.
The first Inkaterra Amazonas Lodge property is the Inkaterra Field Station, best suited for those looking to completely immerse themselves in the Amazon without all of the frills of a 5-star hotel. Originally designed for training Inkaterra Explorer Guides and hosting researchers, volunteers, and travelers looking to get involved in research projects, the Inkaterra Field Station in Tambopata was only recently opened to the public.
The Field Station offers guests two sleeping options: cabañas (2 or 4 guests) and pavillions (quadruple shared rooms with private bathroom). It also has the Work House that integrates the Ecocenter and the research room. The Ecocenter offers a selection of excursions for travelers according to the length of their stay. These excursions vary in level of difficulty and duration. The research room features a laboratory designed for examining soil and for the study of flora and fauna.
The second Inkaterra Amazonas Lodge property is the more sophisticated Reserva Amazonica, best suited for travelers looking to combine luxury with an immersive jungle experience. While still bringing guests right into the heart of the jungle, this luxurious jungle lodge offers two types of suites, eight cabañas with views of the Madre de Dios River, and twenty-four additional peaceful, jungle-facing cabañas.
Reserva Amazonica offers flexibile options for guests. From a la carte dishes to different types of jungle activities, guests can stick with the pre-established itinerary or change it to fit their preferences. The hotel also has an amazing spa that combines classic spa menu offerings with exotic Amazon ingredients.
The third option is Hacienda Concepción, best suited for travelers on a budget. Built on a former cacao and rubber plantation as well as a former Amazonian Catholic medical mission center (Fundo Concepción), this family-friendly Inkaterra Amazonas Lodge option will introduce you to the biodiversity of the Amazon through a wide range of land and river excursions.
The hotel offers 24 cabañas and 6 rooms. Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, while dinner is a la carte. The excursions at Hacienda Concepción are included in your stay, with activities such as Concepción Trails, Twilight River, Rainforest By Night, Botanical Garden, Native Farm Tour, and more. Finally, like all of the Inkaterra hotels, Hacienda Concepción hosts a daily tea time.

huayhuash trekThe Huayhuash Trek is an amazing journey to the very heart of the Cordillera Huayhuash, the second highest tropical mountain range in the world. A trekker's paradise, this terrain is remote, wild, and stunningly beautiful. The film Touching the Void, the tale of climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, was made about their harrowing experience as the first mountaineers to scale Siula Grande, which is part of this mountain range. This version of the Huayhuash trek crosses six high passes over 4500 m (14,763 ft) and two that are higher than 5000 m (16,404 ft)! Throughout the 12 days of the trek, we camp next to stunningly beautiful alpine lakes and in broad, grassy valleys replete with wildflowers and rushing alpine creeks, while basking in the imposing presence of the White Mountains looming over us, with peaks at elevations above 5000 m (16,404 ft) and 6000 m (19,685 ft). At least three days of acclimatization hikes in the area are strongly recommended to be able to enjoy the trek.
