Posada Amazonas is ideal for families with small children, cultural travelers, adventurers at heart, and nature lovers.
Your visit makes a meaningful direct impact on the Native Community of Infierno. The experience at the lodge let you climb a canopy tower 42 meters high with a breathtaking view. You can also visit the calm waters of Lake Tres Chimbadas and an the ethnobotanical Ñape center where the community will share with you their traditions.
Where is Posada Amazonas?
Posada Amazonas requires at least two hours of travel time. To begin your rainforest Amazon tour, you take a quick plane trip from Lima (1 hour and a half) or Cuzco ( 30 minutes) to the city of Puerto Maldonado, Southeast of Peru.
After we meet you at the airport, we'll take you to our office 5 minutes away to refresh yourself and prepare for the journey to the lodge.
After a one-hour road trip, we will take a peaceful one-hour boat ride along the Tambopata River, immersing ourselves in the heart of the private communal reserve of the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, you will climb a staircase whose length varies with the season, followed by a short walk through the vibrant Amazon rainforest. This journey marks the beginning of your stay, surrounding you with the majesty of the Amazon.

Rainforest Expeditions is a wonderful company and the Posadas Amazonas lodge is a beautiful location to spend your time in the Amazon. The staff are all incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The tours were very fun and we saw lots of animals including River otters, monkeys, birds, and capybaras. We loved our guide Luis and all the people we met. The food was delicious and locally grown and there was never a dull moment. Would highly recommend! Read all


I went to Posada as part of a wider group trip, so did not pay for it directly. The lodge feels very far from anywhere and yet it feels incredibly safe. The rooms are open to nature, but nothing was ever damaged (use the safe boxes as advised, especially for food - not that you'll need any - the catering is excellent, with plenty of vegetarian options, and snacks are also provided between meals). There are flushing toilets, incredible shower facilities and the beds are very comfortable with mosquito nets placed at night by the staff. Drinking water vats are strategicvally placed throughout the lodge but you may have a long-ish walk to the common areas through corridors. Some parts of the corridors are open to the elements, but umbrellas are provided everywhere in case of rain. There is obviously no air conditioning, but this helps you acclimatise. The lodge is run by a family and others from the Infierno community, which gives the place a homely feel, with resident tour guides and a local geologist for citizen science projects. Massage services are available and there is a local shop for souvenirs and essentials like bug spray, clothing and torches. Tons of activities can be arranged, but it's also nice to relax in the hammocks and common areas and listen to the sounds of nature. While this hotel is not going to be for everyone, I had the most incredible time! Read all


Posada Amazonas by Rainforest Expeditions is an extraordinary place. From your arrival at the airport in Puerto Maldonado all the staff is always attentive to your needs. You travel by boat to the hotel Posada Amazonas and it is a unique experience. It really is a total disconnection and a recollection with Mother Nature 🌎 The buffet lunch is delicious (already included in the price). You have a guide who speaks Spanish and English at all times and accompanies you to explore the jungle, the river and other activities. The price is worth it. Outside my room I caught a glimpse of monkeys 🙂 The night sky is starry and very spectacular ✨️ 5 star service. I will definitely come back. Read all


We had the experience of a lifetime at Posada Amazonas! For our first trip ever to Peru, we wanted to see as much of the country as possible, and started our journey here. Everything went seamlessly- from the pick up at the airport, check in at the office, to the delicious lunch on the boat during our transfer. The next 3 days were filled with wonderful experiences including the canopy hike, oxbow lake cruise, sunset cruise and more. Luis was our guide extraordinaire. His knowledge and ability to spot interesting flora and fauna were amazing. The rooms are clean and spacious and perfect to experience the jungle. You haven't lived until you are awakened by the calls of howler monkeys at 4:15am! Highly recommended! Read all


This is not a resort but rather a very nice and comfortable eco lodge to view wildlife with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Keep in mind that there is a lot of walking and stairs (almost 0.5 miles) to get to the lodge from the water transport river bank where you are dropped off. The clean spacious rooms are open air concept with mosquito nets for the beds and you can listen to rainforest creatures all night. The activities they offer are diverse (e.g., night hikes, water excursions to see caimans, otters and bird watching, visit to local farm and 40 meter observation tower). You are fed well with breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. Many thanks to our tour guide Luis M. for his extensive knowledge of the rainforest and keen eyes/ears to find hidden creatures while keeping our group safe. Read all


Had an amazing stay of 3 nights here. Guide (Lucia) was fantastic, even having a phone attachment to allow you to take photos through her telescope and get fantastic shots, and much of the trip was solo with her. The lodge had blazing fast wifi, mix of craft beers, and was very comfortable (as long as you don't mind the odd butterfly or frog wandering into your room). Friendly service and really well organized w/ lots of variety of things to do - I happened to stumble across a giant Harpy Eagle right outside the lodge, just incredible. Only thing that could be improved is more variety of food and condiments to spice it up, but it is in the middle of the rainforest after all Read all


This place was awesome. Fantastic spot in the jungle, heaps of tours around and the food/drinks they supplied were amazing. Buffets three times in the jungle, as well as fruit/snacks/water/juice available around. Saw a bunch of wildlife, even some monkeys practically in the lodge. Rooms were good, no windows so open air experience. Naturally with the heat, can be hard to moderate temps but the bugs are kept away by mosquito nets on your bed. Highly recommend this place if you can deal with a few insects at night around the lodge. Read all


Amazing experience with amazing staff!! Even before landing in Peru, Mónica was so helpful with making sure everything was ready for our arrival; I had a lot of trouble with making the payments online but she assured me and helped me get it taken caren of. From the pick-up at the airport, with a yummy eco-friendly lunch during the drive to the river port, to the arrival at the lodge and the excursions, everything was incredibly well planned and executed. The room was lovely; all the meals were delicious; and our guide, Emperatríz, was so sweet and extremely knowledgeable. It was really the perfect blend of comfort at the lodge and nature experience during the excursions on the river and in the forest. Well worth the price; I just wish we'd gotten to stay longer!

It's a trek to get to the Amazon but so worth it! Our guide Josmel was awesome and with us every step of the way. He helped us pick out the best activities and really made sure that we enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and purified water was always available. Although it was hot, humid, and there was a bit of a roughing it aspect, it was a once in a lifetime experience and we were lucky to be paired with Josmel! Read all


Ines (our guide) - a great thank you for a wonderful time and experiences. Very nice lodge, warm staff, great food, lots of to see and feel. Night walks, Giant Otter search in lake Oxbow, Canopy tower in the sunrise, river cruise in sunset, Parrots and Macaws Claylick, and much more. A very big thanks from Lithuania! Read all


Visited dry season - late July 2024 Wow, this truly exceeded our expectations... leaving reviews isn't something I typically do.... We spent our first two nights at Posada Amazonas and paid additional in advance to get a private boat transfer to the Tambopata Research center. I advise booking this directly as it meant we got the best advice from the head office as many of the people working there have guided in the past, can answer any questions and know how to make the most of what's on offer. The amount and variety of animals/birds/insects we saw was incredible. Our guide Boris went above and beyond for us especially with his skill in seeing animals we would have otherwise missed. This alongside his knowledge of the rainforest, photography skills, birding ability, demeanor and sense of comradery meant we were always engaged, knew what was going on and felt safe. The rooms we stayed in at the resorts were exactly as advertised and the outdoor bath in the dulux suite was incredible. We had a good variety of tasty food every night and we didn't have any repeats across the two lodges over our five night stay, cocktails available at the bar and the willingness and understanding to include local native ingredients was elite. It being the Amazon you will be damp and depending on the season and humidity your clothes may not dry for days...be prepared and take enough clothes. A pair of binoculars are a must to truly feel like you've made the most of your time; we used them for elusive animals that move on quickly or whilst Boris was establishing a better position with his scope. On the water with a 360 degree view they were a must too! No need to be an expert, once we saw some trees or bushes moving Boris did the rest. The whole experience blew us away! Photos taken on our phones courtesy of Boris were national geographic worthy at times and are now digital treasures we can keep for ever. While five nights might sound like a long time it flew by and meant we could see a wide variety of wildlife and terrains, if you are staying for a shorter time just remember to temper your expectations, embrace whatever is put in front of you be it bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, arachnid or insect; you are choosing to travel to the Amazon rainforest, not a zoo!
