Our lodge is built from local, sustainable materials and is designed in a traditional style in order to blend in with the surroundings. Our large recreational area or comedor contains a dining area, an area for relaxation with hammocks and a study zone complete with a well stocked library of identification books, rainforest information and scientific journals.

The lodge is surrounded by virgin rainforest and guests are often woken to the sounds of the Howler monkeys at dawn. Meals are prepared with organic produce from our small farm. View all our facilities

The macaw collpa in Tambopata made famous by numerous documentaries and magazine articles is by far the most exciting place to visit along this stretch of river and due to its remote location has good wildlife viewing possibilities. We can also arrange tailor made expeditions if clients are interested in shorter or longer trips or are particularly interested in birdwatching or photography.
