One of few easily accessible virgin tropical rainforest in the world, tambopata national reserve is situated in peru’s south-east amazon basin. harbouring interesting numbers of animal species and a great variety of plant life, the biodiversity of this stretch of rainforest is staggering. this carefully curated three-day amazon adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore this fascinating environment in depth, based at jungle lodge inkaterra reserva amazonica
Coined the Capital of Biodiversity. Transfer by road to the pier and begin your Amazon adventure
with a 45-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios river that splices through the rainforest.
The motorized wooden boat hugs the meandering riverbanks to reach your eco-lodge, Inkaterra
Reserva Amazonica, in the middle of the rainforest. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with an
short briefing where our à la carte excursions will be presented, allowing you to design your
itinerary according to your interests. You may then enjoy lunch or go to your cabaña, located
within Peru’s first private ecological reserve—protected by Inkaterra since 1975 due to its
sensitive environment. After a short rest in your rustic-luxury cabaña—whether taking a nap or
relaxing in the hammock—you will be ready to begin exploring, accompanied by your Inkaterra
Explorer Guide.
We recommend walking along the Trail System for an immersive introduction into
the intricate biodiversity of the Amazon basin and the layers of the rainforest. Walk along
towering trees, like the Shihuahuaco, as your ears tune in to the croaks, rustles and calls of
the exotic wildlife inhabiting this rich ecosystem. There are excellent opportunities for
birding and observing an abundance of flora. Keep your camera ready just in case sloths or
monkeys appear on the treetops. In the late afternoon, we highly recommend taking our gentle
Twilight River excursion to witness the jungle transform from a diurnal to a nocturnal world:
where daytime animals and birds give way to species specially adapted to the darkness of the
night. You may also be able to spot the likes of nightjars, owls, capybaras and caimans lurking
on the riverbanks. Amazonian-inspired dinner is served in the main dining room from 19:00-22:00
where we invite you to enjoy a complimentary Pisco Cocktail. Back in your comfy cabaña, listen
to the intriguing sounds of critters that inhabit the rainforest surrounding the lodge.
Optionally join them in the early hours, with buffet breakfast served from 05:00. Visit Lake
Sandoval this morning, 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
serene 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 Reserva Amazonica in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the
exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy Walkway, a sophisticated and safe network, distributed over
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. It’s possible to extend your elevated stay with sunset drinks from atop a
tower, – or spend a once-in-a-lifetime night in a specially designed treehouse cabin with
surprising comforts (additional cost applies) After descending, enjoy a 30-minute Anaconda Walk
that follows a 200-meter (656 feet) raised wooden platform over a flooded aguajales swamp. In
this lush ecosystem you may observe various species of amphibians, birds, mammals, abundant
flora and interesting trees. Back at the lodge, you can opt to book yourself an indulgent spa
treatment in our refreshing ENA spa. (Additional cost applies). À-la-carte dinner is served from
19:00.
The Amazon is an almost endless source of exotic fruits and vegetables, many with healing
properties that support local communities living in the remote jungle. At Gamitana model farm,
engulfed by the sounds and scents of the Amazon, you will get to see how a variety of produce is
grown by local farmers and sample some seasonal forest fruits. Afterwards follow a dense jungle
trail under the canopy to reach Gamitana Creek. This winding, dark water creek is home to
abundant flora and fauna, with many piranhas, caiman, turtles and birds hiding in its murky
waters and riverbanks. Return to Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica for lunch. Head 35-minute upriver
to Inkaterra’s sister lodge Hacienda Concepcion, built on an old cocoa and rubber plantation.
This site formerly functioned as a medical centre, set up by Catholic missionaries in the 1950s,
as well as a centre for ecological research. With over 200 different plants species found here,
see why the rainforest is often considered the world’s largest pharmacy and learn about their
uses and benefits up-close. Afterwards, enjoy a relaxing 30-minute canoe trip to look for
turtles, sun grebes, nightjars and herons before returning to your lodge. Under the cover of
darkness, venture out for the Rainforest by Night excursion through Inkaterra’s Ecological
Reserve. Armed with flashlights, duck under tree boughs as your senses heighten to the movements
in the undergrowth and nocturnal forest sounds that appear in different directions around you.
With your Inkaterra Explorer Guide, encounter animal activity and spot species that only emerge
with the veil of nightfall.
With a staggering roster of wildlife found in and around Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica -540 bird
species have been inventoried in the grounds of the lodge- enjoy your last morning in this
natural wonderland as parakeets chatter away in the trees and agouti mammals scurry between the
cabañas. Check-out is at 10:00; depending on your departure flight time lunch can also be

trip along the snaking Madre de Dios River until arriving at the airport. Please note that this
