Chachapoyas, Amazonas

Milpuj La Heredad is a private dry forest conservation area with 60 hectares of extension. It is located an hour and a half from Chachapoyas, between 1800 and 2500 meters above sea level, in the Magdalena district, in the Utcubamba river valley, Amazonas. 

Room

Lola and Perico, mother and son, have built a cozy house inside Milpuj – La Heredad Private Reserve. They made a stone house with comfortable rooms with a private bathroom and hot water for visitors. They wanted to build a house using local materials in natural harmony with its environment. And they got it! The result is a beautiful and comfortable shelter surrounded by forest.

Common areas

Milpuj La Heredad covers 60 hectares, but only 16 hectares are classified as a conservation area. Besides the accommodation, this private reserve has a botanical garden, apiary, and nursery. Its extension even covers part of the old Inca Trail that leads to Chachapoyas!

On the other hand, there is a beautiful path of plants and typical flowers around the property.
