Posada Amazonas is a comfortable, unobtrusive 30-bedroom lodge owned jointly by
Rainforest Expeditions and the Ese'eja Native Community of Tambopata.
Thanks to its accessibility, excellent wildlife observation opportunities and comfortable accommodations, four days at Posada Amazonas is the ideal short, economic, introductory nature tour to the Amazonian rain forests.
Posada Amazonas is built combining traditional native architecture with modern, low impact ecolodge technology.
Rooms are large, providing ventilation and light, and have private bathrooms. Large windows facing the forest keep visitors in permanent contact with nature. Dining and lounge areas provide ample space to rest and socialize. Buffet meals combine international and local cuisine.
Posada Amazonas Nature Tours
Daily departures to Posada Amazonas are available for three to five day tours. On our suggested four-day tour you may see giant river otter, parrots descend to ingest clay at a lick and up to four species of smaller primates, in addition to diverse bird, amphibian and insect life. You will also have a chance to learn from the Ese'eja natives and rain forest settlers their relation to the forest and briefly study the Amazonian rain forest.
Finally you will also watch the forest from atop a 35-meter observation tower, silently paddle a catamaran through an oxbow lake and visit a local settler's farm.
Guides are Peruvian professionals and local natives working at a 10:1 tourist to guide ratio.
