In the treetop…

Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica (Lima, Peru; phone 51 1 610 0400 or, in the US, 800/442-5042), adjacent to Tambopata National Reserve in southern Peru, has constructed a Canopy Tree House perched 90 feet above the rainforest floor to complement its 35 cabañas.

It has two single beds, wash basin, portable toilet and windows with removable mesh screens. Orchids, toucans, monkeys and other wildlife are at arm’s length. A dedicated butler, at hand on a nearby tower and reachable by walkie-talkie, oversees all excursions and special requests. If the nocturnal action becomes too much to handle, guests can descend to prearranged ground-level accommodations.

Tree House rates start at $300 per person per night (double occupancy) and include transfers; sundowners; a bar with water, soft drinks and beer; light dinner and breakfast; a private bilingual guide, and binoculars and flashlights.

Evenings offer excursions and stargazing along Inkaterra’s hanging, 1,130-foot-long Canopy Walkway.
