Treehouse Lodge
Overview
Did you know that 90% of life in the rainforest is found in the treetops? Getting off the ground is the only real way to explore the Amazon. But, how is that possible? Meet Treehouse Lodge, a gravity-defying set of 12 treehouses soaring between 25 and 75 feet above the jungle floor. The lodge is tucked into a 345-acre jungle reserve, where wildlife will be your neighbors.
Life At Treehouse Lodge Peru
The magic begins the moment you arrive, by boat, at Treehouse Lodge. After disembarking, take your time walking up the winding entrance path since you will want to soak in your first moments of this rare experience. Depending on the season, the meandering path will carry you over a lagoon or the jungle floor.
Your first stop is the main lodge, created from 36 massive beams of ironwood. The mosquito-netted main building is home to the dining area and bar, where you will enjoy Peruvian-style meals, on the bottom floor and a lounge on the upper level. From the main lodge, raised wooded pathways and steel cable bridges radiate out, leading to the treehouses.
Throughout your stay, wildlife will be on your doorstep since every inch of Treehouse Lodge was designed to give you an up-close experience with the rainforest plants and animals. Without ever leaving the lodge, you will be able to see sloths, macaws, parrots, and pink river dolphins. You’ll even share the bridges and walkways with five different species of monkeys.
Excursions From Treehouse Lodge Amazon Peru
Though Treehouse Lodge puts you at the heart of rainforest life, it gets even better when you venture out on the included activities. Try your hand at hunting the same way the locals do by crafting a blowgun, which can hit targets up to 90 feet away. Take a jungle walk to Oxbow Lagoon to see giant water lilies.
Take a slow paddle river in a dugout canoe while keeping a lookout for river otters. Early risers are rewarded with a sunrise boat picnic followed by a swim with the world-famous pink river dolphins. Top it all off with a local village visit to see how local indigenous tribes coexist with their environment.
Protecting People & The Ecosystem
Treehouse Lodge was built with sustainability in mind. The lodge was carefully constructed, by hand, with no heavy equipment, to avoid damaging the trees and other plants in the area. Electricity at the lodge is provided by solar panels, which means there are no noisy generators to distract from the jungle sounds.
Plus, the bulk of the water used is pulled from the river and purified through a four-step process. Treehouse Lodge also puts care into supporting local villages. In addition to providing clothing and medical supplies, Treehouse Lodge works to provide safe drinking water to a nearby village whose inhabitants are forced to retreat to higher ground during the annual floods of the wet season.
Tacking a few days at Treehouse Lodge to the start or end of an Amazon cruise is a must for a complete Amazon experience. Or combine an all-inclusive stay at the lodge with a trip to Machu Picchu to see all the highlights of Peru.
–Please note that currently treehouse number 11 is not available for bookings.–
