Experience the excitement of Manu at Tambo Blanquillo a family owned Manu lodge deep in the Peruvian Amazon. It is a typical Peruvian Amazon communal jungle building called “maloca”, in which one can feel safe and comfortable and still enjoy the surrounding wildlife. The main Tambo is designed following the architectural guidelines of the natives. The housing is austere but surprisingly comfortabl
e and fresh, thanks to the design of the roof, which beside being high, which aids ventilation, has strategic ports on the top and sides that aid in heat dissipation . The lodge’s roofs are made of corrugated plates of composite material manufactured in Brazil with French patent trademark “ONDULINE” that are highly insulating to temperature changes and we avoid cutting palm trees every three years for the replacement of traditional leaf roofs thus avoiding deforestation. At night, lighting is provided through solar panels and LED lights that provide the necessary illumination in a discrete approach. There are 20 rooms that assure privacy including doubles, triples and singles, all with very comfortable beds. Bath area is not private but commonly shared, but still retains, sufficient privacy due to its design. Hot water is provided by solar panels. It’s the best accommodation for the value in Manu. The new dining room located overlooking the Madre de Dios River, is equipped to accommodate over 40 people, plus a bar area to relax, watch and especially enjoy the beauty of nature and especially at moonrise the best found in the Peruvian Amazon, where, in combination with fireflies and the sound of nocturnal animals, provide the sensation of being in a magical world of total tranquility. The same feeling you get at sunrise, when the sounds of the awakening forest transport you to never-never land, all due to the extraordinary location of this facility. For the more austere there is the camp area that has a wooden platform deck that can accommodate 20 double tents. In one of its sides there is a mess hall and kitchen that also meets the same design of green building and lighting thanks to solar panels. Bathrooms are also commonly shared in this area, but with no hot water. Take a look at the pictures of our Peru rainforest lodge and some of the nearby wildlife in the Peru rainforest lodge gallery.
