Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay at Inkaterra Amazonica. The lodge and rooms are beautiful - elegant and not over-the-top. The guides are terrific - Mitchell was our guide and he was simply amazing at spotting animals on all of our excursions - we never would have seen the caymans, sloths, bats and some monkeys that Mitchell found. Our family loved all of the excursions offered - we loved the variety of ecosystems and animals in each one. Given how hot it was, I was very grateful for the leisurely pace of a morning and afternoon/evening activity to allow for down time, nap time, lunch etc. It was a welcome, leisurely pace after a hectic time in the mountains. Highly recommend.

Amazing place in the middle of the rain Forrest ❤️ Fantastic surroundings, we had 4 days in heaven. Tried the canopy walking 42 meters up in the treetops. Fantastic food, fantastic staff and for the guys that miss wi-fi it’s possible in the gathering area. Full value for the money. We had a superior room, room 2, perfect location next to the river and spa and now far away for restaurants etc. An amazing place we will never forget. Don’t forget to join all the excursions!

This lodge had potential, but the nature experiences were a major letdown. Our guide, Tino, spent more time chatting with other guides and taking breaks than actually guiding. Although excursions are advertised as half-day trips with morning or afternoon options, he refused to do mornings—despite later admitting mornings are best for wildlife viewing. We had to push just to get out early.|Group sizes were also much larger than promised. They claim a maximum of eight guests per excursion, but most had over twelve, including the Lake Sandoval trip to see Giant Otters. The “à la carte” tours turned out to be pre-planned group outings with too many people. Excursions were short, poorly timed for wildlife, and left long gaps with nothing to do.|Overall, it felt disorganized and lazy, with little genuine effort to deliver a great experience. It also seemed as though many of their positive reviews were fake. Based on our experience, there’s no way this is a five-star location—it felt more like a scam. Save your money and choose a place with guides who truly care—like the river cruises out of Iquitos.

We had an exceptional experience at Inkaterra. Contrary to some earlier reviews we read, the portions were more than generous—delicious, well-prepared meals! ||||Rene was our server throughout the week and went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful, especially when it came to accommodating dietary restrictions for the group.||||The service was truly impeccable. Every staff member was courteous, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure our stay was comfortable from start to finish. A special shoutout to our guides, Tino and Anderson, who were incredibly knowledgeable.||Highly recommend Inkaterra—it exceeded our expectations in every way.

We checked in today at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, Puerto Maldonado, and sadly, the experience has been far below expectations.||Arrival: The boat transfer felt more rickety than charming. While we initially tried to embrace it as part of the jungle experience, it quickly set the tone for a stay that felt underwhelming overall.||Rooms & Amenities: The lodge’s rooms are basic to the point of feeling sparse—certainly not aligned with the US$550 per night rate. No tea/coffee in the rooms, limited bottled water (2 per guest per session), and even brushing your teeth requires bottled water (tap water is only okay for washing hands). These are serious shortcomings for a so-called luxury eco-lodge.||Food: Easily the most disappointing aspect. Meal options are limited, particularly for vegetarians. If you don’t eat quinoa, tough luck. Despite sharing dietary preferences in advance, we didn’t get the sense anyone cared. Even worse—though the resort is “all inclusive,” water at mealtimes costs US$3.50 per bottle!||Wildlife & Activities: Almost no wildlife in the immediate vicinity, which is extremely surprising for a jungle lodge. The overall experience lacked the richness and immersion we’ve seen at similar properties worldwide.||This is just our first day, but we have four more nights at other Inkaterra properties in Peru. Frankly, we’re now very concerned. This lodge does not offer value for money or a memorable jungle experience. Strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I canceled my stay at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica following Supreme Decree 094-2025-PCM, which extended the state of emergency until September 25 in several districts of Madre de Dios, including Las Piedras and Tambopata. The Swiss government officially advised against traveling there, and the Peruvian press (El Peruano) confirmed the seriousness of the situation. My insurance company recognized the exceptional nature of the case and reimbursed most of the costs.||I asked the hotel to cover the remaining loss, given the exceptional circumstances. They refused and offered no commercial gesture. Their only response was to suggest rescheduling the stay, even though my trip to Peru was unique and cannot be repeated.||I share this experience so that travelers understand how this establishment chooses to handle a force majeure situation.

We had an amazing 3 night stay here! Our guide, Nixon, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The entire staff was wonderful. The lunch menu was fantastic and the dinner menu rotated daily. The excursions were awesome and we got to see amazing wildlife - as a note, though, some excursions are not included and cost ~100 extra USD. The accommodations were super comfortable, especially in the suite with a plunge pool which was great for cooling off. This was the perfect blend of adventure and luxury where you can experience the jungle and still be cozy. It was great to be disconnected from phones, but there is WiFi you are able to access if needed. Can’t recommend enough!

A wonderful stay in the jungle. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent excursions into the jungle. The staff were friendly, welcoming and all spoke excellent English. Our guides, Tino and Josh, were enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable. To clarify a few points: Fast, free wifi is available in the eco lodge. No idea why you need wifi when you are in the Amazon though. There is no air conditioning - there are fans and the temperature drops to a comfortable level at night. Remember you are in the middle of the jungle so getting electricity to power air conditioning is prohibitively expensive. Most of the world survives without air conditioning; it is only a few energy hungry countries where AC is on all the time. If no AC is a problem, you are probably not the kind of person who would enjoy the jungle anyway. The cabañas are fully enclosed with fly screens and blinds are lowered at night. The beds are also topped with a mosquito net. We had no problem at all with mosquitoes. Overall an excellent stay and I would love to return someday. To all the negative reviewers, maybe the Amazon is not for you, and if you are worried about there not being a pool, maybe check yourself and remind yourself that you are in the middle of one of the most amazing ecosystems in the world. One that survives without chemical pools and massive electricity use.
