ACCOMMODATIONS

The EcoAmazonia Lodge is nestled within the 500-acre Tambopata ecological reserve in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. To reach the lodge, we take a two-hour boat ride through the Amazon River basin, departing from Puerto Maldonado, known as Peru’s capital of biodiversity.

The fifty bungalows in the lodge were designed and built with local materials following standards of environmental and social responsibility.
