You travel from the Andes through the cloud forest into the deep Amazon and can see colorful birds, giant otters, monkeys, tapirs and maybe even jaguars.

Casa Matsiguenka is a unique eco-lodge deep inside the Manu National Park, managed by the Matsiguenka people themselves. For more than 15 years they have shared their traditions, knowledge of the forest and responsible tourism practices with visitors. By staying here you support local families and help protect one of the most biodiverse areas of the Amazon.

The lodge sits on the banks of the Manu River in a pristine part of the rainforest, perfect for watching macaws at sunrise, black caimans on the riverbank and a wide variety of plants, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Guests can learn to walk and interpret the jungle from a Matsiguenka perspective and experience real cultural exchange.

Casa Matsiguenka offers a simple but comfortable stay with several bungalows equipped with mosquito nets, shared or private bathrooms, a dining area, an artisan shop and electricity. Safe river and land transport is arranged for visitors. This is an authentic and responsible way to experience the Amazon and connect with the people who have lived in the Manu for centuries.
