Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge

Amazon Basin


A few minutes’ walk from a lek (mating ground) for cocks-of-the-rock, this lodge offers exceptional cloud-forest bird-watching at 1600m elevation. The owners claim you can get photos of male cocks-of-the-rock displaying about 7m from your camera. There is a restaurant and 12 rustic double cabins with private bathrooms and hot water.

Located at a cool 1600m altitude in the Kosñipata valley, the lodge is more or less mosquito free! Rates include round-trip transportation from Cuzco, which takes on average eight hours one-way (with points-of-interest stops).

Book online or through InkaNatura, with offices in Lima and Cuzco.
