Ulcumano Ecolodge

Ulcumano is the vision-come-true of owners Eduardo and Ingrid that started almost 20 years ago. Inspired by his forestry engineering background and professional experience working in the Yanachaga National Park outside of Oxapampa, Eduardo has put his passion for forestry conservation to work in the large land tract that Ulcumano protects. A stay at Ulcumano is an easy way to contribute towards this greater good.||My 10-year old son and I stayed 3 days and 2 nights at Ulcumano. I was looking for reconnection with nature and disconnection from screens with minimal planning on my part. Once you get to Ulcumano, Eduardo and Ingrid take care of everything. The cabins are cozy, with comfortable mattresses and pillows, down comforters (and plenty of extra blankets) and a nice balcony with seats to enjoy the nature view. 3 meals a day are included (home-cooked by Ingrid) and there is always tea and fruit on hand for snacks in the dining lodge. There is Wifi and electrical outlets in the dining lodge, which also has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to relax, a collection of board games and books, and a wood stove that Eduardo lights for guests on chilly evenings. You have daytime activity options, primarily guided hikes (there are a few trails on property) and exploring the canopy sky bridges (which we did 3 times, at different times during the days we were there). There is also a rock climbing wall on one of the canopy towers, which we didn't try. Eduardo also leads nighttime explorations, when insects and some other animals are more likely to be found.||Although I highly recommend staying overnight for true disconnection, visitors also have the option of doing a day visit to Ulcumano to explore the trails and canopy sky bridge, with lunch included. Ulcumano is a particularly great place for bird watchers, as there are many interesting species present in its conservation area.

We had a great time at Ulcumano Ecolodge! The location is awesome in the cloud forest near Oxapampa Peru. |Exotic birds are all over and the rain forest is full of life. The food was excellent, especially the desserts! There is generally no internet but the dining room has wifi and electric plugs for guests to use. |The lodging rooms were comfortable and the hot shower very nice. There can be some bugs so light clothing that covers your skin is good protection. The clouds forest is cooler than the jungle but light synthetic clothing is good with a light rain coat.

Although a short stay (3 full days, and 2 night) we had a great time! The forest is beautiful, and the facilities are the best, very well kept cabins, and the dinning area is nice and comfy. We were the only ones there staying overnight those days (some other groups had daily activities only) and we were treated like royalty. My 3-year old had a great time, and the staff was super nice accommodating his food needs (especially his pasta obsession). Eduardo, the owner/manager was super helpful and quick to fix a small issue with the water heater. Overall, I highly recommend it and I will try to go again soon for a longer time!!!

I would highly recommend Ulcumano Lodge. Eduardo is a superb host and guide - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the cloud forest. He is friendly and good natured and made us feel at home. The canopy walk is enchanting. Rooms are simple but clean with verandas to sit outside. Home made meals are delicious and the best of our trip so far. Spot on! Thanks for having us. Simon

At this ecolodge, you'll be completely immersed in nature. Eduardo and Ingrid are very friendly. Ingrid's cuisine is local and delicious. My children really enjoyed the walks in the forest. I recommend arriving by 4x4 and having some driving experience.

We were there 2 nights. It was so beautiful! You are in the cloud forest. My companions were birders and found many different types. The food was excellent. I recommend it highly!!

Excepcional place to discover the cloud forest in the middle of nature. Very cordial and helpful hosts. Great food. Many hiking opportunities around.|The bungalows are a bit limited because of the remote location. (No WiFi, limited electricity.) you should have a jeep or a 4x4 to get there.

Great experience! Took the full day tour and had so much fun. In addition, and not a minor one, the food was delicious! We would love to go again and stay a bit longer.
