Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica

Reserva Amazonica is an ecological lodge in a Rain Forest environment and climate providing an authentic experience in a natural setting. The rooms have no electricity or hot water (with the exception of the Amazónica Suites which have solar heated showers). 
 
Reserva Amazonica provides the best tourism infrastructure available in the entire region, and is a prime location for exploring the rainforest. The lodge boasts 30 private cabanas and 3 suites built with local materials in native style. Service areas are located in a two-story wooden pavilion with a cathedral ceiling housing the dining room, bar, the main lounge and a mezzanine overlooking the rainforest, where visitors can relax while contemplating the unique scenery. 
   
To arrive at Reserva Amazonica is to arrive to another world. It sits smack on the river bank amid a 40-square-mile private ecological reserve owned by Inkaterra. Located in the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest, adjacent to the Tambopata national park, the lodge was opened in 1975 and since then performs innovative sustainable use of the Amazon Rainforest: scientific based tourism since 1978.  
   
The wildlife is remarkable, from giant and colorful macaws, to toucans, parrots, tapirs, tamarin monkeys, owls, the gorgeous Southern Amazon Red Squirrels, as well as a large variety of monkeys. Reserva Amazonica has the world record of ant species in a single place (362 species), according to Professor E.O. Wilson (Harvard University).
