Corto Maltes Amazonia Lodge Puerto Maldonado

Review by hotel critic

As an anthropologist with a keen interest in immersing myself in different cultures, my stay at Corto Maltes Amazonia Lodge offered a unique blend of luxury and value in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The lodge's location along the rio Madre de Dios provided a tranquil escape, reachable only by a scenic 20-minute boat ride. While the lodgings were comfortable with mosquito nets and modern amenities, including hot water and electricity during the day, the highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional staff who ensured a seamless experience.The package's full board option featured delectable meals crafted from local ingredients, accommodating even vegetarian preferences. The tours, although not as adventurous as expected, provided insightful glimpses into the jungle's biodiversity, albeit slightly tame in comparison. The leisure facilities, including a swimming pool and hammocks on the porch, added a touch of relaxation to the overall experience.If you seek a balance between comfort and immersion in the Amazon, Corto Maltes Amazonia Lodge offers a compelling option that won't break the bank but still provides a glimpse into the wonders of the rainforest.
