Our Ecolodge
The remote location of our ecofriendly Tambopata Ecolodge, 68 kilometers by land and river from the nearest town, deep in the forest and close to natural oxbow lake ecosystems, means that the most remarkable natural attractions of the South American rainforest can be reached easily in half-day or full-day guided ecotourism excursions, while evenings can be spent relaxing and enjoying our hotel standard facilities and services.
As part of our all-inclusive and fully-escorted ecotourism programs, we offer accommodation in cabin-style rooms, spaced apart amid the extensive tropical gardens we have created within the forest. For their comfort, we provide our guests with spacious SUPERIOR or SUITE rooms, on a single, double, twin or triple room basis, all with private bathroom. Each bedroom has two walls formed from screens that protect guests from insects, offering a sense of close contact with the surrounding forest, while providing a secure and well-ventilated space.
Our Ecolodge has its own spacious and airy dining room, with walls formed by screens that protect against insects and a high roof built in the traditional Peruvian rainforest style, where we serve both typical Peruvian and international food as part of the full board all-inclusive itineraries we provide. Peru is justly famous throughout the world for its fine cuisine, and at Tambopata Ecolodge we do everything possible to honor that tradition.
In addition, we also offer guests a beautiful, spacious and independent structure that houses our bar and lounge, surrounded by screens and crowned with a high roof, creating a well-ventilated and bright space and offering excellent contact with nature. In our bar, we serve a selection of Peruvian and international cold drinks. And during our guests’ stay, we include as part of their full board itineraries hot drinks, purified water and organic soft drinks made from local produce. (The bar service is not included as part of full board itineraries.)
