3-Day Amazon Rainforest
Located about a 25 minute motor-canoe ride down the River Madre de Dios from Puerto Maldonado, the Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion Lodge is in a enchanting and serene lush setting of natural rainforest.
This rainforest property includes a main lodge with 8 rooms and 19 individual cabanas, all with private bathrooms and covered porches. There is a spacious dining area with warm colored furnishings.
Sensitively positioned within walking distance of beautiful and solitary lake Sandoval, this unique jungle lodge offers a wide range of fixed land and river excursions in its surroundings, opportunities to spot hoatzins or shanshos and other wild animals. The varied menu of day-trips will introduce guests to the magic of the rainforest which has yet to be discovered. Guaranteed to provide an incomparably memorable stay, this is an experience for true adventure seekers.
