Stephanie Cavagnaro ventured into the Amazon rainforest of Madre de Dios to relish the Inkaterra experience in one of the world’s megadiverse hotspots. The UK edition of National Geographic Traveller published the seven-page feature, chronicling her journey across the Tambopata National Reserve, from Lake Sandoval (home to howler monkeys, hoatzins, black caimans and giant river otters) to the heights of the Inkaterra Canopy Walkway. “Up here, it’s really a sanctuary for birds… A russetbacked oropendola sends out its waves of sonar, while four gilded barbets suddenly stream past, inches from my face, humming like motors. More appearances are made: trogons, toucans, red-headed nunbirds, yellowrumped caciques and yellow-throated woodpeckers,” says the author about her adventure in the canopy.

NEOTROPICAL RIVER OTTER SIGHTED AT URUBAMBA RIVER
During an early birding excursion led by Explorer Guide Santos Ccasani and Dennis Osorio (Inka Terra Asociación), a group of travelers were walking around the Tea House at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, trying to get a privileged view of the Urubamba riverbanks in search of torrent ducks. Dennis spotted some movement amid the rocks: it was a Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis), a solitary animal with dark gray-brown pelage common to riverine environments from Central to South America, considered Near Threatened by IUCN. Guests were able to photograph it before it returned to waters rich in fish and crustaceans, evidence of a healthy ecosystem.

THE TELEGRAPH FEATURES INKATERRA HACIENDA URUBAMBA
British newspaper The Telegraph highlighted the most recent Inkaterra property among its Three Perfect Retreats in Peru list. “It is difficult to imagine anywhere better to soak up the tranquillity of the mountain-ringed Sacred Valley of the Incas,” states the article about Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba, recently awarded by Tatler and considered by Travel+Leisure and Condé Nast as one of the world’s best new hotels. “Once the epicentre of the Inca Empire, the area is speckled with little-known but spectacular ruins, many of which remain unexplored… It’s a great place to acclimatise before heading on to Machu Picchu.”

CAPTAIN NORM ISAACS’ AUGUST REPORT
Considered by Gaff Magazine (February 2012) “a time-tested star, like Dylan or Jagger,” Captain Norm Isaacs rides Alfred Glassell’s iconic fishing boat Miss Texas, following the trail of the current world record black marlin (1560lb) caught in August 1953. “Another little factoid is that the actual footage of that fish being caught is the footage used in the movie made of Ernest Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea, starring Spencer Tracy,” recalls Captain Norm about this angling legend that turned Cabo Blanco into the sport fishing mecca in the 1950’s and 60’s.
