Sun drenched Amazon cloud forest of Quillabamba on this fully private 3-day, 2-night glamping retreat.

ALL - INCLUSIVE NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE

from US$ 480.00
per person based on double occupancy

This exclusive 3-day retreat takes you far off the standard tourist routes, deep into Quillabamba’s protected jungle valleys, where mist curls over the treetops and wild orchids bloom along every trail. Your private local guide born and raised in these forest lands will lead you through hidden waterfalls, point out vibrant macaws and tiny poison dart frogs, and share generations old stories of how local communities live in harmony with the rainforest.

You’ll stay in a fully private luxury glamping site tucked between the trees, with handcrafted open-air tents, warm solar-powered showers, and unobstructed views of the jungle canopy. Every meal is a celebration of the region: fresh river fish, heart of palm salads, exotic tropical fruits picked that morning, and private picnic spreads set up beside crystal-clear jungle rivers. There’s no rush to check off a list of spots you can spend hours birdwatching, wander slow trails, or simply lounge in a hammock listening to the forest come alive.
