Hacienda Concepcion
- Hacienda Concepcion
- Excursions and Activities
The family friendly Hacienda Concepcion lodge is located in an enchanting and serene lush setting within 819 hectares of natural rainforest. The rainforest acts as a buffer zone between the Tambopata national park and the shores of the vast Madre de Dios river, making the location of this lodge quite unique and wonderfully remote. This Amazonian lodge seeks to cater for nature loving enthusiasts who come to the region in search of a memorable full-immersion experience in the alive jungle.
Located only 8 kilometers / 20 minutes down river from Puerto Maldonado, Hacienda Concepcion can only be reached by taking a scenic canoe ride from the town. The lodge itself sits by a natural, private "Cocha" or lake, home to rich ecosystems, tropical plants and beautiful wildlife.
Comprising a main lodge with 8 twin rooms and 7 individual Caba?as, Hacienda Concepcion is built in the typical Amazonian style. The central building boasts high ceilings with hand-woven, thatched roofing and a spacious dining area decked out with locally-crafted, warm colored furnishings made of reclaimed new lumber. The rooms all look out into the forest and are generous in size, with separate bathrooms and covered porches overlooking the "Cocha" ? perfect for wildlife spotting.
Sensitively positioned within walking distance of beautiful and solitary lake Sandoval, this unique jungle lodge offers a wide range of fixed land and river excursions in its surroundings, opportunities to spot hoatzins or shanshos and other wild animals. The varied menu of day-trips will introduce guests to the magic of the rainforest which has yet to be discovered. Guaranteed to provide an incomparably memorable stay, this is an experience for true adventure seekers.
