Visit Southern AmazonPeru Holidays· 30 Rooms · ££

A comfortable wildlife retreat in the Amazon Rainforest

Rainforest Expeditions Posada Amazonas is an efficiently managed and tastefully adorned wildlife retreat. This lodge stands out for its diverse array of excursions and a family program that has earned it acclaim.

Exuding an inviting ambiance, the lodge features a modest yet charming rustic design, coupled with contemporary conveniences, making it a favoured destination for those exploring the Peruvian Amazon. Two nearby clay licks attract vibrant parakeets, creating a captivating spectacle during the dawn hours. The lodge offers a plethora of rainforest activities guided by knowledgeable and skilled experts.

A key attraction is the remarkable 30-metre-high observation tower, piercing through the treetop canopy, providing a panoramic perspective of the tropical jungle. The tower serves as a launchpad for drones engaged in aerobotanical scientific research – an interactive experience allowing guests to assist in programming the drone and witness its deployment.

Accommodations comprise 30 modern en-suite guest rooms adorned with polished wood, featuring loft spaces beneath steeply-pitched thatch roofs. Connected by elevated boardwalks, the rooms eschew traditional windows in favour of one open wall, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the nocturnal sounds of the jungle while securely ensconced under mosquito nets.

Enhancing the overall experience, the lodge features a cocktail bar, handcrafted hammocks, an artisan boutique, and a spa offering Amazonian massages. Notably, the lodge has been recognized for its innovative family program, providing an enjoyable and educational experience for children, further enriching the appeal of this delightful retreat.
