How To Get There The starting point is the capital city of the Inca empire, Cusco. Here you can combine your trip with a visit to Machu Picchu and the other Inca ruins of the area. We would be glad to make suggestions for places to visit. Private transportation, depending how large the group, can be arranged using four wheel drive cars or buses. We would be glad to arrange transportation based on your particular needs. The important thing is you can arrive at Atalaya by road. From Atalaya you cross the Madre de Dios river and after 2 kilometers are at the lodge. This is an easier and cheaper option for visiting Manu Biosphere Reserve with good diversity in an almost insect free environment. Trail System Map Amazonia Lodge prides itself in having a marvelous trail system that is constantly maintained by the staff. The trail system covers many different habitats (see the birdlist) because of the 500 - 1,050 meter altitude difference. |

"I have visited the Hacienda Amazonia nearly 15 times over almost as many years and always look forward to returning. The owners, Santiago and Nellie Yabar always make you feel welcome, and are always there when you need them. It is a retreat I would recommend to anyone, including my family. And, getting there is surely part of the adventure!" -- Steve Hilty |
