Anaconda Lodge

Top choice in Puerto Maldonado


The most original airport hotel in South America? Cocooned in its own tropical garden on the edge of town, and with its own Thai restaurant, too, this lodge has a more remote feel than its location would suggest. There are eight double-room bungalows with shared bathroom and four luxury bungalows with private facilities; all are mosquito netted.

There’s also camping space (per person S20), a small pool and a spacious two-floor restaurant-bar serving sensational Thai food and pancake breakfasts (it is one of only three Thai restaurants in all Peru!). And we luuurve the honeymoon suite – erotic furniture with an oriental theme! These guys also organize kayak trips.
