To arrive at RESERVA AMAZÓNICA 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.

RESERVA AMAZÓNICA 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.

Daily commercial flights connect Puerto Maldonado with Lima (2 hour flight time) and Cusco (35 minutes). Upon arrival at the Puerto Maldonado airport, visitors take the RESERVA AMAZÓNICA bus to the city's river port, and then take a canoe to the RESERVA AMAZÓNICA lodge. It is about an hour-long canoe ride (15 Km. or 9 miles) downriver from Puerto Maldonado.
