Posada Amazonas is a wonderful jungle lodge located inside the private communal reserve of the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno. It’s also right next to the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Being in a perfect location is not the only thing that Posada Amazonas offers. A whole range of excursions are available, with experienced and bilingual jungle guides who can teach you everything about the rainforest. And when you’re not out exploring the rivers and rainforest, you can relax at the beautiful lodge, swinging in your locally-made hammock, getting an Amazonian massage, or drinking rainforest-inspired cocktails in the Ronsoco Bar.
Note: Posada Amazonas has a sister lodge called Refugio Amazonas, also located on the Rio Tambopata and not far from Posada Amazonas. A similar itinerary can be found at both lodges!

Species you can see here include southern mealy parrots, yellow-headed Amazon parrots, blue-headed parrots and dusky-headed parakeets.
