Inotawa Lodge

Inotawa Lodge is a hidden gem along the Tambopata River in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. The experience goes beyond the breathtaking nature—it’s the people who truly make it special. Our tour guide Joaquim was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making every jungle walk and boat ride unforgettable. Victor, our skilled boat captain, navigated the river with ease, and Patcho brought so much warmth and character to the team. The entire staff was amazing—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. Inotawa is more than just a lodge; it feels like home in the heart of the rainforest.

Authentic Amazon experience. Great staff and guide. Very attentive, offer included excursions. Joaquin is a top man! He went beyond the call of duty. We managed to catch some piranha and they were delicious, not something one can do at home.

At Inotawa Lodge we experienced the wonders of the wild jungle and learnt to live in it and respect it. At the Lodge there are all the comforts you need to have relax and bonding time with the people living there. The food served was absolutely amazing. We did three nights and went for all set of proposed activities. Thanks to our guide we learned a lot about the jungle, its animals and plants. What we liked particularly is that in the whole Puerto Maldonado the main focus is to preserve the wildlife while cohabiting with it. This makes any encounter with a bird, insect, reptile or mammal very special and unique.

We had 4 days at initawa lodge in a three weeks holiday is Peru. And I can say with all my heart this has been one off the highlights of our trip. Excellent guide Marcelo. Great walks and explanations regarding the jungle. Exploring several lakes. Fishing piranhas. Excellent food for breakfast, lunch and dinner All a great experience

The trip started with is being picked up at the airport were we weer greeted by the very friendly Rosa(hope i said if right). The trip itself is a smal advanture with the wobbly roads. After 30 minutes we arrived at the boot which took like 1.15 hours to take is to Inotawa lodge. The travel by boot is nothing less than amazing! The river is really wide and covered nu jungle on both sides. Arriving at the lodge, we were greeted by Shanti. Thuis German, Peruvian, Dutch woman had enough energy for the entire camp! What a great way tot start! She showed us the rooms which where awesome! Our house had a second floor where we could relax with an jungle view. We stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed the tours with Joaquin! He knows a lot about the jungle and really does a great job in sharing his knowledge. The highlights where: a 3 hour hike trough the jungle, spotting kaaiman (crocodilles) and fishing for piranha's! Even without the tours, the place itself is awesome. It is so big, you can easily have a walk around and look at the different kind of fruits they grow on site. All and all i would definitly reccomand this place! The food is great (breakfast lunch and diner is included and where al super tasty) and the staff feels like a big family! Thanks for the great last three days of our holiday in Peru!

We had the most amazing experience at Inotawa Lodge with our guide Jungle Paul. His expertise and humour really did make our trip so memorable. All the walks and boat trips were full of wildlife which we would not have been able to see without Paul’s knowledge of the jungle. We saw howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, caimans, river otters, copybara, tarantulas, macaws and countless other birds. We really did get to see so much more wildlife than we ever imagined and that’s without all the information about the flora. We would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a authentic experience in the jungle. Inotawa Lodge itself was very comfortable considering the jungle setting. The owner and staff were so accommodating of our vegan diet - the food was honestly INCREDIBLE. We cannot complain at all.
