Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica

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.

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.

Really well organised trip into the Amazon. We could only bring 10kg bag each but the company stores your bag at the port for you. A 45 minute boat journey down the river and you arrive at the location. Our cabana was great with a really big comfortable bed with mosquito net, hammocks and bathroom. We were worried about the noise when we arrived as the birds were really loud but they slept the same time as we did. I loved the fact there was no WiFi as I totally relaxed and it was nice to be somewhere where everybody isn’t staring at a device in their hands! There is WiFi in the office if you really need it. The tours were good but you do have to cover yourself in mozzy spray and you may not see huge amounts of wildlife. All in all a great stay, good food, friendly staff, but expect to deal with humidity.

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!

We had a fabulous two night visit and this lovely resort. Amenities were nice and food wonderful, but the best was the friendly and helpful staff. We went on a private fishing excursion with David - and amazing guide - and enjoyed the wildlife, river, lake and jungle experience! Highly recommend you include this place in your Peru vacation.

An amazing place to visit deep in the jungle. Highlights for us was a Bushmaster snake but there is absolutely loads of wildlife everywhere you look but you must open your eyes to see it. Inkaterra lodge is absolutely superb to stay at. Loved it and finished off a 17 day trip to Peru in style.

Expect to be in the humid jungle where it rains a lot. Do not expect to see big snakes and animals; maybe a caiman and some mosquitos. Buy a $10 hat with a net in the US.|Expect good food and VERY helpful staff and management folks.|Excursions are ok but this is not your exciting tv Discovery trip. Canopy walk is OK.|My wife went to Lake Sandoval with a guide and cut the 5 hours down to 3 & loved it.|A special shout out to Guide Michel, Alejandro (waiter extraordinaire), Xiomara-guide with a perpetual smile, and Sr. Percy Ccopa (who goes the extra mile to get things right!
