Itinerary
Description
Arrive into Puerto Maldonado, coined the Capital of Biodiversity. Begin your Amazon adventure with a 25-minute boat ride navigating the clay-coloured Madre de Dios River to reach Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion lodge. Settle into your stylish stilted wooden cabaña or room on our private eco-reserve and then head to the palm-thatched Casa Grande dining room for an à-la-carte lunch before exploring the rainforest on foot, starting from the Ecocenter.
Take a walk along the Concepcion Trails, winding through the property’s nature trails for an immersive introduction to the intricate ecosystems of the Amazon basin. Backed by the protected Tambopata National Reserve and built on the grounds of a former cacao and rubber plantation, Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion harbours primary and secondary rainforest inhabited with exotic wildlife and tropical plants. At dusk witness the enchanting transformation of the rainforest from a diurnal to a nocturnal environment on a guided Twilight River boat ride, as animals and birds of the daytime give way to species specially adapted to the shadows of the night.
See if you can spot species lurking on the riverbanks and stars of the southern hemisphere. In the evening enjoy à-la-carte dining, drawing on local Amazon ingredients for inspiration. Retreat to your cabaña or room to listen to the curious calls and croaks of the rainforest night.
Overnight at Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion.

DAY 2 Optionally join us in the early hours, with buffet breakfast served from 05:30. Visit Lake Sandoval, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve, reached via a sun-dappled rainforest trail. Board a dug-out wooden canoe to quietly paddle through a stream and glide onto Lake Sandoval, flanked by picture-perfect palms.
This lake is home to many species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans amongst others. Return to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy Walkway, a sophisticated and safe network distributed over seven ecologically constructed hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest floor. This is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain a sense of its size. Ascend the first vertiginous tower 42 meters (138 feet) above ground, keeping an eye out for bright toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys and the three-toed sloth.
Back at the lodge, you can venture out onto the Rainforest by Night excursion. Armed with flashlights, as your senses heighten to the movement and sounds in the undergrowth of the forest, keep an eye for species that only emerge during night time. On the other hand if you wish to rest, book yourself an indulgent therapy at our NUA spa, built in the middle of the rainforest. (Additional cost applies). À-la-carte dinner is served from 19:00.

DAY 3 After breakfast at the lodge, visit our Botanical Garden to discover the medicinal plants of the Amazon and their uses, according to the traditions of the local communities. Then visit our Brazil Nut Cabin, where you will learn about the history, socioeconomic importance and uses of the Brazil nut. After lunch in the Casa Grande dining room, enjoy a relaxing paddle boat ride in a dugout canoe on Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion’s oxbow shaped lagoon, or cocha. Row out onto the clay-coloured water to enjoy the scenery and spot hoatzins, fly catchers and graynecked woodrails, perhaps with the sounds of red howler monkeys bellowing in the distance.
Admire the remains of the semi-submerged steamboat Fitzcarrald and uncover its captivating history, which inspired Inkaterra to create the film “Fitzcarraldo”, directed by Werner Herzog, who won the Best Director award at Cannes in 1982. Before dinner, visit one of the lodge’s Inland Collpas, meaning “salty area” in Quechua. Though wildlife watching is tricky in practice, learn how these clay walls attract the fascinating mammals behavior hidden right beside the lodge.

After lunch, learn all about the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) - which can live up to 500 years - and its importance to the local economy. Brazil Nut harvesting is demanding work and you will also learn the steps to produce and collect Brazil nuts with traditional tools and techniques.
