Trip Overview

The Inkaterra Field Station is a jungle lodge resort on the banks of the Madre de Dios River. It’s located right next to the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. From here, you can explore the jungle by boat or on foot, traversing canopy walkways and venturing deep into the rainforest. Being an actual research station for guides and researchers, the lodge provides an enriching experience for natural lovers, students and volunteers, and has a particular focus on interactive excursions inspired by conservation initiatives managed by the Inkaterra Association. 

 

The lodge itself is situated in its own 17,000-hectare private ecological reserve, where 540 bird species have been inventoried on the grounds. Its wooden cabañas, meanwhile, offer plenty of charm and comfort in the heart of the jungle, with a wonderful restaurant lounge and bar. And each day, you’ll have a tasty buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can taste the incredible array of rainforest products.
