YINE LODGE

At the  mouth of the Manu River

About the lodge

You can reach Yine Lodge from Cusco in a 2-day expedition by car and boat down the Andes, or by a 45 minute flight from Cusco to the Boca Manu landingsstrip. There are 6 bungalows with 1 room each with shared toilets and showers. The lounge is beautifully decorated with traditional Yine designs and pottery. The bungalows are shaped in the sacred Yine hexagonal and have candles for lighting; however, there is a generator for light in the lounge and to recharge your batteries.  Temperatures are between 30C (86F) during the day and 24C (75F) at night. Between May and July, the temperature may drop to 18C (64F) during the day and 10C (50F) at night for a couple of days each month.

Yine Project

This lodge has been set up as part of Pantiacolla’s Yine Project; the other part of the project being a 3-day tour filled with activities out of the Yine daily life. The lodge will be handed over to the community in the future, while in the mean time the Yine can learn about eco-tourism. However, nothing as hard as trying to bring together the indigenous life vision with eco-tourism commitments, so many adaptations are still needed to have it work to the satisfaction of all parties involved.

What you can do there

Yine Lodge is strategically located at the mouth of the Manu River and next to the Boca Manu landingsstrip, and many spend a couple of nights at the lodge while on route to Manu’s Reserved Zone, Blanquillo’s macaw lick or the Pantiacolla Mpunatin Range. The Yine and Pantiacolla Tours are working to make a new start for the Yine Tours somewhere in the near future.


Yine Lodge is a comfortable place to spend your night amongst the traditional elements of the indigenous Yine culture. The lodge is part of Pantiacolla's Yine Project that aims at a better understanding between our cultures, with a prosperous & sustainable future for all involved.
