Incan culture in embodied at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica
Whether you like to keep your feet firmly on the ground or prefer to have your head in the clouds, we have an answer to beginning your dream Peruvian adventure. We’d like to introduce you to Inkaterra.
Based in Peru, this rganisation has devoted 40 years to pioneering eco and sustainable tourism. And it’s all done through scientific research and conservation. All five of their hotels provide guests with a unique experience and the adventure of a lifetime. From here you can discover everything from the Amazon rainforest to the magnificent Machu Picchu.
Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica is situated in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest on a private reserve. It boasts an unbelievable canopy walkway 90ft above the forest floor. Here you can immerse yourself in Amazonian nature surrounded by thousands of indigenous species of animals, birds and plants.
The organisation began with Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción. Situated on the Madre de Dios River and right next to the Tambopata National Reserve, it embodies the soul of Inkaterra. Expect guided walks and boat tours when you stay at this lodge. Here you can marvel over diverse ecosystems and endangered species.
Both jungle resorts allow you to live the life of Tarzan. Not to mention the element of added luxury of beautiful accommodation fit for a king. And as if that wasn’t enough, Inkaterra will introduce you to the magnificent Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Hacienda Urubamba sits high in the Peruvian Andes and in the heart of the historical Sacred Valley. This traditional Peruvian Hacienda was built with local materials, to blend in with its stunning surroundings. And (as with all of the resorts) to promote Inkaterra’s eco tourism ethos. Incan traditions are explored inside the hotel through the food and outside through cultural immersion of rural Peru.
Inkaterra’s empire ends in the colourful Incan capital of Cusco. Inkaterra La Casona was originally a 16th Century manor. But has been beautifully renovated for guests to relax and explore what the bustling city has to offer. Here you can take in Andean culture and trek up the mountains to look down on the city from above. Cusco’s Peruvian heart makes La Casona an essential part of Inkaterra, and offers a more urban approach to the beauty that is Peru.
Each resort embodies a different element of this historical South American country. And Inkaterra is an excellent way to be able to experience every breathtaking element, natural or man-made, Peru has to offer.
