Inotawa is about 2 hours (1 hour bus + 1 hour boat) from Puerto Maldonado - so reasonably away from city where you can get a feel of forest, but not having to spend too much time in and out of the place, especially ideal for people only budgeting 3-4 days. I joined a 3D/2N short program, packed with activities,... More

I was a little unsure about staying in an open-air lodge but Inotawa changed my mind :) From pick up to the drop off, this experience was fantastic. Our room was basic but comfortable, although the mosquito nets could have done with an upgrade! Wear repellant at night because we got a few bites. The quality of the food was... More

Great spot. My cousin and I had the entire place to ourselves. Nice hikes around the lodge. Our guide was very amenable and pointed out lots of wildlife. One of the more reasonable jungle lodge options I came across too.

A resounding ten stars for our guide Paul, who is not only exceptionally knowledgable, but also extremely hardworking and kindhearted. He brought his computer to dinner with him one evening to share with us all of these bird calls he had been recording-- they were national geographic worthy. It was incredible to watch him in the woods hear the tiniest... More

The jungle in the Amazonian basin isn't really a holiday - you come to explore and be part of an adventure. Inotawa is the perfect base from which to do that.

Love this place! Left this morning and already I'm missing it! It's great for solo travellers, been so well looked after - never a moment feeling lonely or left out. Beautiful lodge too, spacious and airy room, comfortable bed with net, falling asleep with the wonderful sound of the jungle. Unforgettable experience!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
INOTAWA started its operations of eco- tourism in the Tambopata national reserve (RTAMB) in 1998 by visiting the sites that can be found at the margins of the Tambopata River. These are Tres Chimbadas Lake, the La Torre Lakes, Cocococha lake, La Torre parrot clay lick, Chuncho and Colorado clay licks and El Gato creek.In order to offer comfort to our guests during their visits we constructed inotawa lodge situated in the sector La Torre in the buffer zone of the Tambopata national reserve and surrounded by an area of private conservation (ACP) with pristine forest and natural bamboo patches that host a large variety of birds, mammals, insects and reptiles.Inotawa lodge is constructed with traditional materials of the Amazon. Palm leaf thatching, timber and bamboo maintain an architecture that blends in perfectly with the surrounding nature and the gardens full of medicinal and ornamental plants.The infrastructure consists of 16 rooms with private bathroom, a dining area, a bar, a hammock area, a web of trails, kayaks and bicycles. In short, everything necessary to offer safe, high quality service to our tourists with social and environmental responsibility.INOTAWA is a family business run by naturalists that also develop projects with the inhabitants of the “La Torre” sector. We think this to be the best manner to give a sustainable use to the area. ... more   less
