INKATERRA RESERVA AMAZONICA

Deep in this remote yet easily accessible part of Peru's southern rainforest, more than 500 bird species have been recorded; days here are given over to outdoor exploration and discovering an abundance of wildlife. Quarter, half or full-day excursions might involve educational twilight river boat rides or rainforest walks as nightjars and owls come out to hunt at night (ideal for children). Ascending 30 metres into the canopy will allow you to take a new perspective on the rainforest, crossing suspension bridges between the resort's observation platforms. Striking out to Lake Sandoval or Tambopata, near the Bolivian and Brazilian borders, will reveal the glorious wetlands. Later, the spa on the banks of the Madre de Dios River - where sunsets are utterly arresting - provides a relaxing welcome, perhaps with an anti-oxidising treatment that uses local cocoa plants to help exfoliate and nourish the skin. All meals are served in the wood-decked dining room, with floor-to-ceiling views of the rainforest. An international buffet is offered for breakfast, with lunch and dinner a la carte (all accompanied by fresh salads, fruits and homemade breads). Afternoon tea is also on offer, as well as Pisco Sours for cocktail hour and other drinks are mixed at the bar. Every meal uses local ingredients, much grown at Inkaterra's nearby farm.
