Arrive into Puerto Maldonado, coined the Capital of Biodiversity. 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 a buffet lunch before exploring the rainforest on foot,
starting from the Eco Center.
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 caimans 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 at night.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
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, anchored 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. The Canopy Walkway is a sophisticated and safe 344 metre (1,135
feet) network of 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 38 metres (124 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).
Back at the lodge, you can venture out onto the Hidden Forest excursion.
Armed with flashlights, as your senses heighten to the movements 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.
A-la-carte dinner is served from 19:00.
Meals: Breakfast,Lunch, Dinner
Enjoy your last morning waking to the sounds of the rainforest as
parakeets chatter away in the trees and monkeys swing through the
treetops.
