Located 400km upriver from Iquitos Peru in the deepest heart of the jungle, the Tapiche Reserve lodge is truly a grassroots project that supports and is supported by the work of locals. We hired members of nearby communities to help construct the lodge by locating fallen trees on the forest floor. We contract a village downriver from the Reserve to supply the palm thatch roofing, which was harvested, processed and woven by hand from Irapay palm leaves. We have since integrated modern roofing materials and cement foundation to enhance the longevity and comfort of our station

Nestled into the greenery of the jungle, the Tapiche Reserve Lodge allows visitors to feel enveloped by nature without having to leave basic comforts behind. We have mosquito mesh on all the buildings and provide individual mosquito nets for each bed. Our water pump supplies running water for sinks and showers, and we run the generator for a couple hours at night to charge electronics. There is no air conditioning and no hot water. We’ve done our best to provide amenities for a lodge that is completely off the grid. Our focus is on providing you close contact to nature; we do not offer luxury amenities. There is no cell signal at the lodge, however WiFi is available during the day, although guest should not expect reliable signal. We strongly discourage guest from smoking during their stay with us at the reserve, and only permit smoking within the immediate vicinity of the dock.
