Ecolcerna Lodge
Welcome to a world of wildlife and wellbeing with Ecolucerna Lodge, where you'll discover an exclusive experience nestled in the heart of the Tambopata National Reserve.
Live it, don't just watch it
Born inside the reserve
We're a multidisciplinary lodge inside the Tambopata National Reserve — 26 km downriver from Puerto Maldonado, where the road ends and the rainforest truly begins. We blend wildlife immersion, responsible tourism, and genuine Amazonian hospitality.

The Amazon rainforest needs you too. We work with local communities on participatory reforestation, solar energy, and forest conservation alongside the Ese Eja community — the ancestral guardians of this territory.
