The best accommodations Amazonie Péruvienne

A modern building with swimming pool in the city and not in the jungle.

What Maud and Carlin, a Franco-Peruvian couple, have built is what we call tambos or chozas in the region: small round houses made of earth with a roof of beams. The one that is for rent is reserved for families or by floor. They also have a small duplex with a mezzanine bedroom for 2 or 3 people. In all, 7 to 10 people maximum. They have a small terrace, a small garden planted with trees and cacti. On the spot, there is an organic restaurant-cafe (breakfast is also organic). Carlin, who speaks French, can take you to discover the nearby nature reserves.

Rafael is the lucky neighbor of the Gocta Lodge. From its garden and terrace where hammocks hang, you have the same incredible view of the waterfall. He offers simple and clean rooms with private bathroom and hot water, the use of his kitchen and a family atmosphere of exchange between travelers. They have 3 rooms in the main house and 4 new ones with balconies and views. It would be almost like a youth hostel without dormitories. When he is not there, Javier and Ruben are at your service. Reservations can be made via Booking.

The Troyes family has created an area (private) for conservation and protection of the tropical forest of Maranon-Chinchipe, which houses many varieties of birds threatened with extinction. 12 endemic species are identified in this forest. For 4 years, they have opened the reserve to tourism and volunteers.

What do they propose  ? Basic or camping accommodation, restaurant, guided tours, but also volunteer stays. The program, bird care, work on roads, seed seeds for hummingbirds, awareness of the local population in the defence of birds (including three schools close to the site).

Where  ? Peru.
