For river views try staying in treehouse 3 or treehouse 10. If you love to be high up, you’re going to love number 8! Numbers 1 and 2 are accessed through real trap doors. And treehouses 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 12 are all great places to see a variety of birds right from your front porch because they sit right in the middle of all the jungle excitement!
Each treehouse provides its own special charm, so no matter where you stay, you’re going to have an unforgettable trip to the Amazon Rainforest!
The Property
Treehouse Lodge is located on the beautiful black waters of the Yarapa River – a tributary to the Amazon River near Iquitos, Peru. As there are no roads connecting Iquitos to the outside world, the only way to get there is by boat or airplane. From Iquitos, the journey to the treehouse hotel – first by car, then by boat – takes approximately 2 1/2 hours. The boat ride begins on the Marañón River, crosses the Amazon River, and continues up the Ucayali River before connecting to the Yarapa River.
The amazon lodge sits right on the Yarapa where the Cumaceba connects, making a beautiful view of the black and brown water confluence. Arriving, you will truly feel “away from it all.” Treehouse Lodge sits on 350 acres of preserved, primary Amazon Rainforest surrounded by thousands of acres of additional protected land. Nearby is the famous Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve – one of the largest protected areas in Peru, boasting of the greatest biodiversity in the world. Iquitos is considered the capital of the Peruvian Amazon. During the 20th century, it expanded during the rubber boom, but is now known as a major river port, surrounded by 3 rivers.
What You’ll See
Immersed in Nature
Rare Freshwater Pink Dolphin
5+ Species of Monkeys
Parrots, Macaws, Parakeets, and more
Trees and Plants Indigenous to the Amazon
Confluence of the Yarapa and Cumacaba Rivers at the Headwaters of the Amazon
Five species of monkeys are often seen and heard right at the lodge. You’ll never forget the experience of 50 – 100 Squirrel Monkeys migrating across your treehouse or bridge. Many mornings you will be awakened by the eery sound of Howler Monkeys. Their sound is notorious for unnecessarily frightening visitors. Sloth, caiman, and many others are not too hard to find. We’ve even seen a small cat called Tigre swimming in the river in front of the lodge.
Over time, many animals that normally lived in the ocean like dolphins, manatee, sting ray, and crabs have adapted to the fresh waters of the Amazon. Pink and gray dolphins are frequently spotted at the confluence of rivers. We have two close by: the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali; the confluence of the Yarapa and Cumaceba. The latter is exactly where Treehouse Lodge sits.
Most people are accustomed to seeing a lot of birds. But in the Amazon Rainforest, you might see a couple colorful Macaws fly across the top of the canopy and then a flock of Parakeets or a couple Parrots a minute later. It’s also possible to see the primitive looking Hoatzin, Harpy Eagle, Horned Screamer, Toucan, and many more nearby.
