A friendly and comfortable thatched wildlife eco-lodge on the banks of a rainforest-fringed river in the Peruvian Amazon. 

This congenial, family-friendly eco-lodge is situated on the banks of the river Ulcumayo, a jade green, rock-strewn waterway cutting a swathe through jungle vegetation.  Fringed by huge trees, and swollen with the water from excitable streams, the river is an ideal place for an adventure lodge, offering swimming and rapelling down smooth rock faces coursed by waterfalls, while trails along the bank introduce you to the minutae of tropical wildlife.    

The rustic lodge consists of smart but simple wooden, thatched cottages with private bathroom (hot and cold water). Some of these cabins have terraces or balconies overlooking the forest and there are hammocks and deckchairs where you can sit to enjoy the view and watch the birds. They are fairly spacious, with comfortable beds, and feature golden hardwood throughout. There is a covered restaurant with open walls, and a bar where the walls are covered with faded photographs of the family who founded the lodge.

    HG, Malvern

    CC, Settle

  • We really enjoyed the whole trip and found the Peruvian people very friendly and helpful and determined to better themselves and their country.

    SJ, Cambridge

  • Highlight?: The whole of the Ausangate trek - the best short trek we have ever done in terms of scenery and local culture with the added advantage of comfortable mountain lodges. 

    AST, Berwick-Upon-Tweed

  • The Belmond train ride to Machu Picchu followed by the tour round Machu Picchu was stunning and very memorable. However, the Amazon was also wonderful, especially the breakfast in a creek, the sunset trip, and the walk in the rainforest.

    MS, Alton

  • The Peru holiday was all very well constructed. Favourite parts were the floating islands, the nocturnal canoe trip and the trek to Macchu Picchu. Organisation was brilliant and it all hung together very well. Thanks!

    AMW, Letchworth

  • We love Peru and the people every time we go back it is a memorable experience. 

    JL, Cobham

  • For me, I think that it was the Lords of Sipan and Royal Tombs Museum, and the Temple of the Moon at Trujillo. For Angela, it was Tucume and the Temple of the Moon.

    PS, Reading

  • "The people, mixing with the Peruvian people in the markets, talking and laughing with them."

    JL, Cobham

  • “It is great to know that you are going to have a fantastic holiday every time you travel to Peru.

    JL, Cobham

    CC, Bristol

  • Highlight: Machu Picchu - truly breath taking.

    PT, Swindon

  • Most memorable experience: “Probably visiting the islands on Lake Titicaca followed closely by HB train and Machu Picchu"

    TS, Birmingham

  • Highlight?: Too many to mention but the Condors and Machu Picchu were spectacular.

    GB, Westerham

  • Highlights? :The Vistadome train journey to Machu Picchu and visiting the ruins themselves.

    ME, Maidstone

  • Highlights:- It is difficult to pick out just one experience from such a plethora of new ones.  There was so much to see and absorb in Peru which was fascinating but Machu Picchu must rate very highly in our list of memorable events on the mainland as must the whole Colca Canyon experience including the drives through the Highlands to Chivay.

    ND, Lewes

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Every step of the way was amazing... But Machu Picchu was undeniably the crown jewel of the trip

    JB,

  • Highlights?: Visiting Machu Picchu and climbing the mountain. The hot springs at Colca Lodge. Seeing the condors in the Colca Canyon. Trying to walk 100yds at almost 5000m. :-)

    MP, London

  • Highlights: That's hard.., so many... for Alex: inca trail, for us: condors, lake titicaca, huchuy qosqo, ruins around cusco, colca canyon riding, chinchero market, moray & maras, macchu Picchu /  inkaterra.  We loved it all.

    CB, Sandwich

  • It was all good and every location was special so cannot choose one in particular.

    BC, Beckenham

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Getting to the top of Huayna Picchu.

    PR, Edinburgh

  • "Obviously Machu Pichu was a highlight but Ollaytaytambo was impressive, Chinchero was lovely and Cusco was fantastic [we're looking into buying a house there!] the Vistadome, particularly with the staff on the return journey to Cusco, who put on a fashion show, music and dancing for us, which they genuinely seemed to enjoy too, was fantastic. I'd also really recommend Huaco Pacllano in Lima - I'd never seen a site like it before."

    SAG, Hythe

  • Highlight?: Seeing Machu Picchu for the first time, it literally took my breather away, Ineven had tears in my eyes it is so stunning.

    CE, Rickmansworth

  • Highlight?: The Ausangate trail. Loved it.

    ID, Hereford

  • "We were so thrilled to have the 3 nights in Cusco - a) we all LOVED La Casona so much (the amazing bathrooms, the fireplaces (lit) in the bedrooms, the staff, the ambience, etc, and b) we SO enjoyed all the amazing restaurants in Cusco (we are food and wine lovers, so had a great time!). Machu Picchu was absolutely AMAZING too - something to remember forever. We did love Hotel B in Lima too, but of course we were jet-lagged and only there for 1 night....We had an amazing time in Peru - the highlight being Machu Picchu. I would strongly suggest that people should stay at the Sanctuary Lodge at the site to get the best from the experience. We loved Peru - and really loved Cusco."

    JH, London

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Machu Picchu... does anyone traveling to Peru ever put anything else? :-)

    ME, Carlisle
