Quillabamba Private Jungle Glamping Retreat
Sun drenched Amazon cloud forest of Quillabamba on this fully private 3-day, 2-night glamping retreat. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys echoing through the trees, step out of your luxury safari tent to views of rolling jungle canopies, and savor curated private picnics packed with fresh tropical fruits and local Amazonian ingredients.
This slow, immersive journey wraps you in the vibrant culture of nearby Kichwa communities, gentle rainforest trails, and unrushed moments to connect with the jungle no crowded group itineraries, no rigid schedules, every detail shaped to match your rhythm.
ALL - INCLUSIVE NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE
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.
