Excellent place to stay and explore the Amazon. Accommodations are rustic but clean and comfortable. Food was consistently good and the pool and bar were great places to relax between outings. We did the 3day/2night itinerary that included several hikes and sites on and off the lodge grounds. Our guide, John, was amazing - kind, knowledgeable, and funny - and showed us so many plants and animals. Highly recommend the Lake Sandoval boat tour! If you need AC and TV, this is not your place - but if you want to be able to unplug and experience the surrounding wildlife, the Corto Maltes is a great choice. We would definitely return.

We visited the Corto Maltes Amazonia with our family of 7 in December. We loved having the resort to ourselves - especially with it being the beginning of our Peru adventure and our concerns about COVID. The Bungalows were quaint and well maintained. We had zero problem with bugs as we slept with our mosquito nets as directed and kept trash and other items off the floor. It was one of the few places during our travels in Peru that we had hot water for showers! The Food was AMAZING and all of our dietary needs were met and exceeded. Being nervous about eating in a 3rd world country, we were pleasantly surprised at the variety and safety of the food. The presentation was incredible as well - on par with fine dining restaurants! Our Guide, Raul, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the flora and Fauna of the rainforest. To those who are only looking for a zoo experience, you are really missing out in learning about how the forest grows and works together as a singular unit.
We saw several troops of monkeys, lots of Caiman and exotic wild birds. Our trip to Lake Sandoval was incredible with the prospect of seeing some of the most feared river monsters of the Amazon.
After our stay we learned of even more remote resorts - but we felt that our stay at the Corto Maltes Amazonia was perfect for our short time available and it turned out to be one of our most treasured parts of our Peru experience.

We did the 3days / 2nights tour and knew that the price is high (254 USD each) but it's worth it! The Lodge is soo nice and the food was really good. We had a super good time with our guide Jesus. We would definitly come again! Make sure you bring enough insect repellent for the tours

We booked this trip from a travel agent in Peru when we arrived. It was quite expensive and we were really excited reading the itinerary. We were beyond disappointed at the experience. The only "wild" animals we saw were the tamed parrots and insects in the garden. The first day we were taken out on the boat for over 2 hours and saw absolutely nothing. The second day our "jungle tour" consisted off a long walk sighting no animals whatsoever followed by our guide showing us a picture book of various animals while pointing to them and saying "these live far away" and gesturing behind the property. The third day was the worst by far. We were scheduled to get up at 4.30am to go to a look out to see approx 500 parrots come to feed in the morning. It was described in the brochure as an amazing visual display. We waited patiently after the long trek to the lookout and spent 2.5hrs sitting in silence waiting for the parrots to arrive. Over the course of this time only 5 parrots came! The entire group was bitterly disappointed considering how much of a let down the rest of the trip had been. The guide looked embarrassed but not shocked as this is obviously a regular occurrence. On the last day we tried to speak to the owner who was out beside the boats. He basically laughed at everyone who was complaining. This is a complete scam. There are a concentrated amount of lodges everywhere in this area and the animals all obviously left a long time ago and moved to a quieter location. However the lodges have continued to take tours with the full knowledge they will not be providing anything as promised. It is unsurprising to see so little wildlife as there are boats screaming up and down the water all day. The accommodation and food was extremely basic considering the price. There is also no working safe in the room and the locks on the doors are weak or not working. Save yourself the time and money and avoid this one at all costs.

French owner. Barely 25 minutes by canoe from Puerto Maldonado (No road) You leave your bulky luggage on departure in the secure premises of the hotel agency in Puerto Maldonado. Support included in the price (round trip) as well as all meals (breakfast, lunches, varied and qualitative dinners) and excursions, depending on the length of the stay, 2 or 3 nights or more. We tested the 3 days/2 nights package, a priori expensive (275€ or 299 USD per person) but worth it when you add up the all inclusive and the excursions (Lake Sandoval is the best) Exceptional place. Perfectly organized excursions (Guide in French possible) Magnificent and vast tropical garden, parrots roam free, superb, delicious swimming pool upon return from excursions, pool bar and atmospheric bar in the hotel. Perfectly made cocktails (Not included but inexpensive) Wifi in the central building. Shop on site, massages.. The rooms are bungalows with a little basic comfort but clean and excellently well maintained (daily cleaning) like the entire property. Small terrace, hammocks. Favor those near the river (1,2,4,5,6,7) 3 is private. In hindsight we would have liked to have stayed at least one more night. A shade of authenticity and a shade of understated luxury. Haven of peace, Amazonian memories for a long time.

Wonderful, authentic experience in the rainforest! Excursions included a trip to Sandoval Lake to see the local flora and fauna, a late night boat ride to search for the white caiman, and a trip to a beautiful lookout tower to see the canopy! Our guide, Moisol (spelling may be off, sorry!) was excellent and was able to spot wildlife that we would have easily missed during hikes. The food was excellent and all the staff we encountered went above and beyond.
We got very lucky during our excursion and were able to see a lot of wildlife. We also used fruit to make friends with the birds that live on the property! Overall, an excellent experience being in the middle of the rainforest, surrounded by such amazing sights and sounds.

Response from LauraColome, Online Marketing at Corto Maltes Amazonia
Our trip here was perfect from start to finish. The food was healthy and delicious. The bungalows made the stay unique (hamacs, mosquito nets...). Even the fact that the electricity is cut at certain hours of the day adds to the atmosphere. The grounds are full of lush vegetation and pet animals--parrots, squirrels and others whose names I didn't retain. The swimming pool hits the spot after early morning outings. Above all, our guide, Olivier, was exceptional. His knowledge of the local fauna and flora was impressive. We learned a lot about all aspects of the area.
Would definitely recommend at least 3 days at this lodge.

We stayed at corto maltes july 2022. We really really enjoyed it. The whole area, garden, houses and swimmingpool are really lovely, well kept and clean. Mosquitos in july is no problem. And as extra protection the dininghall and houses are mosquito proof with nets and on top of this also net over the bed. Food is great, 3 courses both for lunch and dinner. There are plenty of tours and they are really good. We saw lots of animals, tarantulla, macaws, monkeys, caimans, beauytiful birds, tucan. The sunset over the river is spectacular while drinking a cold beer. Overall really af good experience and would centainly recommend this place!

Could we have had such a good stay in the Amazon if we were not at Corto Maltes? Not sure!
It was, for us, the ideal place to discover the surrounding area. The staff is adorable, there are French-speaking guides who will introduce you to flora and fauna that will open your eyes wide. Electricity is "on" from 2 hours around noon and a few hours in the evening. You just have to remember to plug in at the right time.
You can refill your bottle in the refectory. There is always water available.
The activities offered are well chosen (a big favorite +++ for fishing on the Madre de Dios) and you can relax. At the swimming pool for example, a perfect place to cool off.
A quiet, relaxing place, where you can have a massage (by appointment) or have a drink! A really great place after all!

We stayed at the Corto Maltes Lodge from March 2nd to March 4th, 2024. All of our expectations were met to our complete satisfaction. Our guide, Franklin, was extremely helpful and gave us deep insights not only into the fauna and flora of the Peruvian rainforest, but also into the history and lifestyle of the local population. Since we obviously didn't see all of the animals during the rainy season, the focus was on the plants and the resulting agricultural use. Nevertheless, everything possible was done to show us as much "wildlife" as possible. The lodge itself is very clean and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Anyone looking for a luxury trip should consider booking here. In Corto Maltes you are close to the jungle and a little away from unnecessary luxury. We would recommend the lodge and the staff (not forgetting Max, a great bartender) without reservation.

Vaccinations are not compulsory for entry into Peru. While you are visiting the Amazon region (Madre de Dios) the Ministry of Health of Peru recommends vaccinations against yellow fever. In order to be effective the yellow fever vaccine should be administered at least 10 days before your trip. Therefore the decision for vaccination is left up to each person and their doctor.

I hope that helps.
By the way the place is fabulous with amazing staff, food and bar. I hope you have a safe and fun trip.
Hi! The prices of soft drinks are 5 soles, beer 10 soles and cocktails from 15 to 20 soles. It's not too expensive, as you will be in the middle of the jungle!
You can pay in Soles, US Dollars or Euros, but if you don't have enough cash you can pay with credit card at the end.
Enjoy your stay!

I think we gave him 100 Soles (about $33) for the 3 day program. In theory, because we booked through Trafalgar and had pre-paid all the gratuities we didn't need to tip, but we did anyway.
There are more places to choose from in the Puerto Maldonado area.
