Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion

Such a great environment. Tranquil. Quiet. Cabanas on the jungle. Privacy. Wild life all around. Birds. Snakes. Spiders. Monkeys. So many cool things. Great tours. Your days are packed. From the canopy walk to river paddles, you’re always moving, always exploring. The only negative was the lack of food. They say all inclusive but it can but up to 7-8 hours between meals and no snacks. Coffee iso my available in the morning and at certain times in the afternoon. I feel weird about complaining about this but as you can’t go anywhere else to get food you’re sort of stuck with what they offer. Had we known we would have brought snacks for ourselves.

This place totally blew us away! Everything was super well-organized, and the staff really went above and beyond to make things easy and smooth from start to finish. We were deciding between Concepción and Amazonia Refugio, and picked this lodge because we wanted something that felt closer to nature—and it absolutely delivered. The nature walks are right on the property, and sleeping in the open-air cabanas, hearing the sounds of the jungle at night, was such a cool experience. We always felt safe and comfortable. We went in the beginning of October, and the weather was perfect—not too hot, not too humid, and surprisingly few bugs! The excursions were amazing—we saw capybaras, three kinds of monkeys, a black caiman, and did the optional trip to the salt and clay licks to watch parrots and parakeets (444 soles per couple, including a great picnic breakfast on the boat). You’ll need at least four people to do it, so get to know your group early! Shoutout to Frank—our guide and total rockstar. He was so knowledgeable and could spot animals from what felt like a mile away. We learned so much from him and had such a fun time exploring. The food was delicious, the hot showers were a nice surprise, and the whole experience struck the perfect balance between rustic and comfortable. I also got a massage one afternoon with the sounds of birds all around—so peaceful. If you're looking for something unique, immersive, and really well-run, this is the place. Can’t recommend it enough!

We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it! The Cabanas are excellent rooms, and allows you to really feel immersed in the jungle. The extra space to relax and enjoy the wildlife at the end of the cabanas was lovely. We saw lots of wildlife while walking to and from the main house. The food is excellent, everything we had was delicious. You do need to pay for all drinks but there is a water refill station available so we just took our own bottles of water to meals with us. All staff were excellent, friendly and welcoming. The excursions were great, really interesting and a good variety. Our guide Leon was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgable. We paid to do the extra excursion to the Claylick to see the birds which was excellent. Would highly recommend this hotel! We had a fantastic stay!

This lodge, located in the forest beside the river, is well designed with meshing to keep insects out, yet a feel of being close to the outside. The bar area however was a bit small, not well organised (despite best attempts from the staff) and had very uncomfortable stools. Music in the restaurant was too loud and seemed unnecessary in a natural environment. ||Our room was pleasant with a wood finish and a comfy bed but no sound insulation from people walking (normally) on the floor above - very loud! Also, although the toilet paper was folded into a point, there were cobwebs under the table - so more attention to cleaning and less to the fancy bits would have been better.||Electricity and hot water are (understandably) for set hours only and the WiFi was fine.||The food was absolutely excellent (in keeping with another hotel in the Inkaterra chain which we had stayed in earlier in our trip) with a great choice of largely veggy and plant-based dishes - imaginative and prepared to a very high standard. There was a good supply of drinking water with meals and in the eco centre.||All lodge staff were friendly and helpful with Sergio especially so. ||Our 3-night package included a number of excursions. They were led by general nature guides rather than experts who weren't very good at ensuring people saw the the wildlife they were pointing out. If you have target species - forget it! I tried engaging with them on seeing some specific birds but they made no effort to help. Often they wouldn't even identify birds to species level and even in one case, just declaring "night bird"! Furthermore, on the excursion to the canopy walk, the guides did not deal well with a very noisy family, putting them on the walkway before everyone else, meaning any wildlife was long gone by the time the rest of us got there.||This was all particularly frustrating as there are very few options for independent birding around the lodge, with lots of restrictions on where you can go (despite many interesting trails being there). Despite this, with no help from the guides, I managed to see many species around the lodge including plenty of Hoatzins, Chestnut-tailed Antbird, Pale-legged Hornero, Swallow Tanager, Spotted Tody-Flycatcher, Amazonian Motmot, Forest Elaenia, Black-fronted Nunbird, Buff-throated Woodcreeper, Reddish Hermit & Rusty Margined Flycatcher. It's a shame that the guides can't / won't make an effort to find the wealth of birdlife around the lodge, for the benefit of visitors.||So, although we felt the lodge was quite good and the food excellent, there were a few short comings there and wildlife opportunities left something to be desired. You could find this frustrating if you're a keen wildlife watcher.

We had an amazing time at Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion. The rooms/cabanas were very clean and had everything we needed. With the screened in walls you feel like you're sleeping in the rainforest. The food (which is included) was very fresh and delicious. We appreciated that everything was organized and taken care of for us. Would highly recommend!

Fairly easy to get to but so well designed you feel quite remote! The chalets are perfect and the well tender paths and exuberant planting really work. Guides Janet and Frank are authentic and a real part of the experience. The restaurant is insanely good, did not expect such quality! |For me the highlights were the peace & natural beauty … and Andres at the bar who has real skill! It’s a good job the lights go out long before midnight or I’d have kept him even busier!

Amazing all- inclusive jungle experience. Our family had a cohort of others to eat dinners with and do activities in the jungle. Every day there were 2-3 options of things to do, (helpful since they turn off the generators for those hours). The cabanas were screened in, very comfortable.

Very interesting experience, but not for everyone. Service is at a very high level. I am very pleased. For the cottages I have some reservations. I understand that we are in jungle, but the lights could be setup a bit higher so one can see his face. Hard to shave or fix your hair in a shade. Toilet roof is open into the room. A few big holes in the roof were not fixed as promised. The bed mattress betterbe chabged soon as you feel all springs in it. There is no electricity at night because we are on generator power, but I was given a battery with inverter for my CPAP machine and it was charged every day. Very pleaseing attention. Thank you.
