A secluded Amazon hideaway of stilted cabanas and a rustic-chic Casa Grande immersed in 819 hectares of rainforest, only reachable by boat, offering wildlife-rich excursions, authentic jungle living and natural-ingredient cuisine.
Elevated cabanas and rustic-chic architecture put you in the heart of the rainforest without sacrificing ease: real beds with cotton linens, mosquito nets, hot-water showers, and natural-material interiors
From river otters and caimans to macaws, howler monkeys, sloths and myriad tropical birds, the lodge itself touches some of the Amazon’s richest wildlife terrain — ideal for those who wish to connect with nature deeply and authentically
Built on a former plantation, Hacienda Concepción reflects a philosophy of sustainability, with sensitive design, organic cuisine and commitment to conservation — offering a stay that enriches both guest and forest
Accessible only by a 25-minute, motorised canoe ride from Puerto Maldonado, the lodge delivers rare seclusion without complex logistics
Deep in the Peruvian Amazon — between the lush expanse of Tambopata National Reserve and the tranquil banks of the Madre de Dios River — lies Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción, a rare sanctuary where the rainforest envelops you in total serenity. Accessible only via a scenic 25-minute canoe ride from Puerto Maldonado, this lodge offers intimacy and calm, far removed from the well-trodden tourist path.
Set on the site of an old cocoa and rubber plantation, Hacienda Concepción occupies 819 hectares of mostly primary rainforest, part of a natural ecological buffer between reserve and river. Accommodation is composed of individually built, elevated cabanas crafted in traditional Amazonian style — with reclaimed timber, thatched roofs and breezy porches — plus a rustic yet gracious Casa Grande.
Days at the estate unfold with unforgettable wilderness adventures: glide by dugout canoe across mirror-like oxbow lakes such as Lake Sandoval to glimpse giant river otters, howler monkeys, macaws or black caimans; wander rainforest trails alive with birds, insects and orchids; or venture on nocturnal walks to meet the jungle’s hidden inhabitants. Back at the lodge, mealtimes are a celebration of the land — with organic, locally sourced produce served in open-air dining spaces — while evenings bring soothing calm under the canopy, with mosquito-netted beds, natural-essence toiletries and the soft chorus of the forest as your lullaby.
