For the first time, Rainforest Cruises will be
offering its passengers the opportunity to experience the wonders of the
Peruvian Amazon and branch out with a special cruise and Treehouse Lodge package
tour.
Rainforest Cruises, a boutique travel company specializing in traditional and
authentic Amazon Riverboat tours, is offering an experiential package taking
guests aboard the luxurious Cattleya riverboat on the Amazon River with
overnight accommodation high into the rainforest’s treetops with a stay at the
gravity-defying Amazon Treehouse Lodge.
The Peruvian Amazon cruise and Treehouse Lodge tour begins with a
three-day/two-night stay in the Treehouse Lodge set in 345 acres of lush jungle
space at the confluence of the Yarapa and Cumaceba Rivers. With over 90% of life
in the rainforest found in the treetops, a stay in the Treehouse Lodge makes for
an experience where plant and animal life abounds and guests can expect to rise
to a call of nature. Waking up to a birdsong in the rainforest canopy is a life
moment unique to the Treehouse Lodge – the only one of its kind in the Peruvian
Amazon.
The lodge has eight en suite bungalows ranging from 25 feet off the ground to a
staggering 65 feet. Suites come with creature comforts that most would not
expect to find high in the trees and in the middle of the jungle. Showers,
sinks, toilets, fresh white linens, comfortable beds, and chairs are the
standard. The entire structure of the bungalow is sealed by mosquito mesh woven
so fine keeping guests protected while still providing unrivalled views of the
Amazon and its wildlife.
Daily activities at the lodge can be tailored to each guest, each lasting two to
three hours, including daytime and nocturnal jungle walks to learn about
medicinal plants, or to spot insects and night monkeys, piranha fishing in
traditional dugout canoes, early bird watching, dolphin-watching, and visits to
the local Jibaro and Kukama communities as well as the butterfly farm.
A six-day cruise and lodge package is $2,499 for double occupancy and $3,139
single occupancy per person. Included in the tour is a three-day/two-night stay
in the Treehouse Lodge with full board, choice of excursions at Lodge, four-day
Amazon cruise aboard luxury riverboat Cattleya, all necessary transfers,
entrance to National Reserve, and bilingual naturalist Amazon guides. |
