ERIKA LODGE
Erika Lodge is located near the Alto Madre de Dios River and is flanked by the Piñi Piñi river and a set of mountains located in the transition zone between high and low jungle, encompassing different habitats. This altitude range explains the high diversity of wildlife found around this area. Our lodge has 90 hectares of forest declared as Private Reserve in 1992. Erika Lodge opened its doors in 1970 becoming the first tourist shelter in Peru. It has been used in the past by expeditions in search of the “Paititi” (the lost golden city of the Inkas), the Petroglyphs of Pusharo and the Pyramids of Paratoari.
FACILITIES
Rustic, yet still comfortable, Erika can house groups of up to 40 guests at a time in double bedrooms which include linens and mosquito netting. Our dining room and kitchen also have mosquito netting, and our shared bathrooms have running hot water. Electricity is supplied at night by a generator.
TRAILS
Erika boasts a 15-km surrounding trail system that connects the lodge and the forest. Visitors can use the trail whenever they wish,as long as they are accompanied by a guide. The forest and river on the way to Erika Lodge is home to many species of plants and animals, some of these endangered. The forest is also a source of seeds and trees for reforestation projects.
