Best tour to go on in the Amazon.

Travel into the depths of Peru’s Amazon rainforest and stay at the comfortable, beautiful Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica Lodge. Only an hour boat ride from Puerto Maldonado, the port city on the southeastern border of the Peru’s Amazon basin, this lodge offers many amenities to make your stay in the Amazon as comfortable and elegant as possible.

When many people think of traveling to the Amazon rainforest, they envision hacking through thick vegetation with machetes, swatting mosquitoes, and mopping the sweat off their brows. It’s true that the Amazon is incredibly humid year-round, and that many ecosystems thrive in close proximity. But an Amazonian experience need not be so.

At Inkaterra, you can stroll through the nature hikes crisscrossing through the 40 square mile ecological reserve, which is next to Tambopata National Park. You can take a guided walk with a resident naturalist who can point out the various insect, plant, and bird species. You can also take guided river excursions to the nearby lake Sandoval, or night boat excursions to look for elusive black caimans, the endangered relative of the crocodile.

In the evenings, after full days of trekking and boating, you can enjoy cocktails in the lounge areas, have a massage in the spa, or relax in your beautiful cabaña. Each room is furnished with wooden chairs, mosquito nettings, soft beds, and hammocks, large windows, and a private bathroom.

If you really want to spend your Amazon vacation in high style, you can spend the night in the Canopy Tree House. You’ll sleep in a thatched roof room perched 90 feet above the ground. You can look out over the treetops as the sunsets. You also have your own butler should you need any assistance during your stay.
Keep in mind that although the lodge strives to offer the best services possible, it is still located in the middle of the jungle, and cannot always provide the services that might be expected in an urban setting. Combining eco-friendly amenities with luxury, the lodge has a solar-powered hydrosystem that provides hot water almost 100% of the time. The rooms have no electricity, and so after dinner the lodge is lit with lanterns.
