Maquipucuna Reserve & Ecolodge

Track elusive black bears and enjoy a dip in the clean river

Lovely place to travel to. The jungle is full of diversity and the service is really good.

We had a great experience at Maquipucuna! Although we missed the bears, we saw fabulous birds, had good guides and delicious food. The lodge is comfortable but rustic, and it is isolated in the cloud forest with only the sounds of the birds and the river. Dedicated people and good work supporting the preservation of this amazing habitat - ecotourism at its best!

A wonderful location with spectacular trails in the forest. Very knowledgeable guides and preserving this amazing environment is clearly their top priority. Excellent bird watching. We saw spectacled bears as we were there when their favoured fruit ripened. Amazing. Few minor problems - no hot water in our room due to faulty boiler, special dietary requirements not always met but overall a wonderful experience.

So exciting that we got to visit while the Andean bears were in the area, what a wonderful experience. Everything at Maquipucuna was top notch, the guides, the food, the accommodations, the staff. Wish I stayed longer, hope to make it back someday.
