Description
Posada Amazonas is a 30 room lodge owned by the Community of Infierno and managed with Rainforest Expeditions. Thanks to its accessibility, excellent wildlife observation opportunities, cultural context and comfortable accommodations, Posada Amazonas is ideal for an introduction to Amazonia´s richest rain forests and jungle.
Posada Amazonas is located within the territory of the Infierno Community. It is built within the 2,000 hectare , private, communal reserve, which in turn is directly adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve.
To get there you must fly to Puerto Maldonado from Lima or Cusco on daily commercial flights lasting 45 or 90 minutes respectively. From the airport you are transported by truck to the Infierno River Port where you board their boats for a forty five minute trip to Posada Amazonas. Posada Amazonas is located ten minutes walking distance from the river, in the heart of the amazon rainforest.
Activities at Posada Amazonas include, visits to a Parakeet Clay Lick, a Canopy Tower, visits to an oxbow lake to see Giant river Otters and other wildlife, and night hikes.
Activities are guided excursions. Guides are biologists, tourism professionals, or community members. All are trained in-house with a four month process that includes one month of field classes and a three month internship. Guides speak English. They assign guides at a 10:1 ratio in Posada Amazonas. This means groups smaller than 10 people will be merged with other groups under one guide.
Posada Amazonas has no electricity. Light is provided by numerous kerosene lamps and candles. A generator is turned on once a day to recharge batteries for guests or lodge facilities.
