Travelling to tambopata national reserve offers a unique opportunity to discover an unspoilt world of unfamiliar flora and fauna. Record-setting numbers of animal species are concentrated within a small area, with a variety of plant life greater than almost anywhere on the planet, spot birdlife, caiman and monkeys as you experience the wonders of the amazon with skilled naturalist explorer guides on this five-day rainforest adventure, based at jungle lodge inkaterra hacienda concepcion.
Begin your Amazon adventure with a 25-minute boat ride navigating the clay-coloured Madre de
Dios River to reach Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion lodge. Settle into your stylish stilted wooden
cabaña or room on our private eco-reserve and then head to the palm-thatched Casa Grande dining
room for an à-la-carte lunch before exploring the rainforest on foot, starting from the
Ecocenter.
Take a walk along the Concepcion Trails, winding through the property’s nature trails
for an immersive introduction to the intricate ecosystems of the Amazon basin. Backed by the
protected Tambopata National Reserve and built on the grounds of a former cacao and rubber
plantation, Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion harbours primary and secondary rainforest inhabited
with exotic wildlife and tropical plants. At dusk witness the enchanting transformation of the
rainforest from a diurnal to a nocturnal environment on a guided Twilight River boat ride, as
animals and birds of the daytime give way to species specially adapted to the shadows of the
night. See if you can spot species lurking on the riverbanks and stars of the southern
hemisphere. In the evening enjoy à-la-carte dining, drawing on local Amazon ingredients for
inspiration. Retreat to your cabaña or room to listen to the curious calls and croaks of the
rainforest night.
Optionally join us in the early hours, with buffet breakfast served from 05:30. Visit Lake
Sandoval, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve, reached
via a sun-dappled rainforest trail. Board a dug-out wooden canoe to quietly paddle through a
stream and glide onto Lake Sandoval, flanked by picture-perfect palms.
This lake is home to many
species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws,
anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans amongst others. Return to Inkaterra Hacienda
Concepcion in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the exhilarating Inkaterra
Canopy Walkway, a sophisticated and safe network distributed over seven ecologically constructed
hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest
floor.
This is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain
a sense of its size. Ascend the first vertiginous tower 42 meters (138 feet) above ground,
keeping an eye out for bright toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys and the three-toed sloth.
Back at the lodge, you can venture out onto the Rainforest by Night excursion. Armed with
flashlights, as your senses heighten to the movement and sounds in the undergrowth of the
forest, keep an eye for species that only emerge during night time. On the other hand if you
wish to rest, book yourself an indulgent therapy at our NUA spa, built in the middle of the
rainforest. (Additional cost applies). À.-la-carte dinner is served from 19:00.
Then visit our Brazil Nut Cabin, where you will learn about the history, socioeconomic
importance and uses of the Brazil nut. After lunch in the Casa Grande dining room, enjoy a
relaxing paddle boat ride in a dugout canoe on Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion’s oxbow shaped
lagoon, or cocha. Row out onto the clay-coloured water to enjoy the scenery and spot hoatzins,
fly catchers and graynecked woodrails, perhaps with the sounds of red howler monkeys bellowing
in the distance. Admire the remains of the semi-submerged steamboat Fitzcarrald and uncover its
captivating history, which inspired Inkaterra to create the film “Fitzcarraldo”, directed by
Werner Herzog, who won the Best Director award at Cannes in 1982. Before dinner, visit one of
the lodge’s Inland Collpas, meaning “salty area” in Quechua. Though wildlife watching is tricky
in practice, learn how these clay walls attract the fascinating mammals behavior hidden right
beside the lodge.
Breakfast is served in Casa Grande with check-out at 10:00. Depending on the time of your
departure flight, lunch can also be arranged (additional cost applies). Embark your
ready-waiting motorized wooden boat for the 25-minute return trip along the Madre de Dios River
until arriving at the airport. Please note that activities and excursions are subject to change
depending on weather conditions at the time of your visit.
