This hotel is more affordable, budget-friendly than the other Inkaterra hotel.

This hotel is a fine example of Inkaterra’s commitment to conservation and responsible tourism, while providing comfortable lodging at a lower price. Remote but accessible, the new Hacienda Concepcion caters to nature-loving enthusiasts who visit the region in search of an authentic jungle experience. About a 20-minute boat ride down-river from Puerto Maldonado, the new Hacienda Concepcion features a main lodge, with eight twin rooms and social spaces, and seven individual cabañas on stilts designed in the local style.

Hacienda Concepcion is located on more than 2,000 acres of rainforest within walking distance of Lake Sandoval (home to the endangered giant river otter).
