Posada Amazonas sits within a 9,500-hectare private reserve on the Tambopata River, rooms opening directly to the rainforest with no wall between you and the jungle. A 42-metre canopy tower, giant river otters on oxbow lake tours, piranha fishing, caiman-spotting by kayak, shaman visits, and night walks fill the days, with enough variety to work well for families. Owned by the indigenous Ese'Eja community and managed in partnership with Rainforest Expeditions, it is one of the most successful examples of community ecotourism in South America. A 45-minute boat from Puerto Maldonado brings you here. All meals, guided activities, and transfers are included.
