Wasai Lodge

The rainforests of southeastern Peru, encompass a large area of undisturbed nature which is rapidly being encroached upon by destructive uses.This region is home to one of the world's highest biodiversity concentrations and has a spectacular array of flora and fauna species. WASAI Lodge & Expeditions was founded with the twin goals of protecting the rainforest of Southeastern Peru and inspiring tourists and students to join the worldwide conservation effort. The conservation of this area is critical. By educating tourists about the natural wonders of the Madre de Dios region, we hope to inspire them to share both our love for the region and our desire to conserve and protect the unique ecosystems they will encounter. As a locally owned and operated company, we reinvest the money generated by our ecotourism operations back into the local community. Furthermore, a significant portion of our revenue goes to fund research, conservation, and social development programs.

We are specialists in the rainforests of Southeastern Peru. Our expert guides and resident biologists will show you the region's natural wonders and teach you about the different ecosystems. As locals intimately familiar with the region, its surroundings, and its inhabitants, we will take care of all of your travel needs.

We can arrange tours ranging from a weeklong expedition into the heart of the Tambopata - Candamo National Park or to Manu National Park, or an afternoon trip to beautiful Lake Sandoval to spending time in the rainforest hosted by a local family. We can also arrange special expeditions for biologists and accomodations and workshops for student groups.

In addition to expeditions, we offer bungalow-style lodging both in the forest and in Puerto Maldonado, the capital of the Madre de Dios region and the entry point for tourists traveling to the rainforest. Our main lodge overlooks the Madre de Dios river and is situated only one block from the main square. It offers all of the comforts of home in addition to being one of the city's finest restaurants which serves a selection of local dishes. Our Lodge and Research Center, strategically located on the Tambopata River, offers an intimate and comfortable forest experience close to a variety of attractions such as oxbow lakes, waterfalls, "collpas" and local communities. Its proximity to the National Park guarantees opportunities to observe well protected wild fauna with little environment impact.
