In recent years there has been a move away from camping in general in Peru. Treks have been combined with hotels or lodges along the trekking routes adding that little extra comfort on your trekking trip. However, there are now some excellent luxury camping options emerging throughout the country offering the bonus of being closer to nature, trekking with an element of luxury and an excellent post-covid option for travel, far away from the tourist crowds. Here are some of the best Peru glamping picks.

The Treehouse Lodge is the only lodge of its kind in the Amazon Rainforest. It is an all-inclusive, luxury lodge located at the confluence of the serene and protected Yarapa and Camaca Rivers near the Papaya Samiria Reserve. Visit and you’ll see the rainforest from an entirely new perspective that most visitors never experience, from the tree canopy. The unforgettable experience of watching monkeys and birds every morning, waking up to a safari of animal life before you even get out of bed. Every bungalow is equipped with showers, sinks, toilets and clean, white linens. Your personal treehouse bungalow gets you up off the jungle floor and helps you enjoy the airy relief from the heat and humidity.
