Peru · 7 days
Casa Amazonas describes itself as a boutique hotel in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, where classic and contemporary design sit alongside the forest. It is not a large resort: it is a small property open only to its own guests, in Tambopata, at the western end of the Amazon in the Madre de Dios region. The hotel is responsible for protecting 94 hectares of rainforest around it.
The retreat side of the business is led by Vanessa Frias, the director and founder. She runs self-assessment and transformation programmes at the Amazon Yoga Center, built on the basic practices and principles of yoga and Ayurveda. Her stated aim is to help people get healthier and happier while contributing to the preservation of the Amazon. Sessions take place in the property's Yoga Shala, a dedicated space for yoga and meditation.
Food is part of the offer. The hotel's kitchen cooks modern, light dishes using local ingredients, and the page frames this around respect for the products and for the environment rather than a long menu. Specific dishes are not listed.
Beyond the mat, the draw is the location. Tambopata is described as one of the most remote and biodiverse regions in the world, a place scientists, explorers and adventurers have travelled to for years. The hotel lists Amazon experiences among its offerings, though the page does not detail what those excursions involve.
The hotel also runs the "Children Bamboo Rainforest" environmental education and development project and employs people from neighbouring cities, with the stated goal of supporting more sustainable development in Madre de Dios. Guests are, in effect, staying inside a conservation project.
