General Facility Description
Reserva Amazonica Lodge is part of a private ecological
reserve adjacent to the Tambopata National Park, situated in the southern part
of the Peruvian Amazon basin, in the Tambopata Province.
This is an ecological lodge in a Rain Forest environment and climate providing
an authentic experience in a natural setting. Service areas are located in a
two-story wooden pavilion with a cathedral ceiling housing the dining room,
bar, the main lounge and a mezzanine overlooking the rainforest, where visitors
can relax while contemplating the unique scenery.
The heart of the lodge is the central pavilion, a circular, two-story lounge
and dining room. Both practical and beautiful, the Amazon Pavilion
features rustic furniture built from local wood by native craftspeople. The
upstairs loggias, with large balconies overlooking the Madre de Dios River and
the surrounding forest, are ideal for afternoon tea or a pre-dinner Pisco Sour
cocktail. Hammocks and large sofas, next to large windows with fiber glass screening,
complete the relaxing atmosphere.
The Amazon Pavilion serves as the lodge's Dining Room. Delicious meals -reflecting
Amazonian cuisine - are served in the pavilion by the lodge's friendly staff.
The meal plan consits of typical dishes, such as juane (chicken with steamed
rice cooked in banana leaves), ají de castaña (Brazilian nut purée)
or paca (fish or chicken cooked inside fresh bamboo stalks set in a circle around
a bonfire), as well as pitchers of refreshing drinks made with boiled water
and flavored with naturally exotic local fresh fruits. The main pavilion is
the only hall in the lodge with electric lighting.
The lodge also offers a small boutique with a variety of eco-friendly items:
insect repellent, basic over-the-counter medicines, Inkaterra clothing, tote
bags, and other products; and an Interpretation Center, which is a classroom
with specialized written information about the Amazon and Ecotourism.
The wildlife is remarkable, from giant and colorful macaws, to toucans, parrots,
tapirs, tamarin monkeys, owls, the gorgeous Southern Amazon Red Squirrels, as
well as a large variety of monkeys. Reserva Amazonica has the world record of
ant species in a single place (362 species), according to Professor E.O. Wilson
(Harvard University).
