Jungle Experiences in Cambodia
At the 4 Rivers Floating Lodge, you will not only find glamorous camping opportunities in sustainable luxury tents but also the untouched nature of Cambodia. The floating villas can only be reached by boat, and it is exactly with a boat that you can set off on further adventures: 45 minutes from the lodge, the majestic Tatai waterfalls await you. Enjoy the view of the gushing river, listen to the sounds of the jungle and take the chance to get a natural hydro-massage thanks to the water pressure. Depending on the weather, you can even paddle with a kayak to a traditional farm nearby. For those who prefer hiking, the 4 Rivers offers Jungle Treks, where you discover the flora and fauna at close range.

Mudflat hiking tour in the world natural heritage
The Strandhotel Kurhaus Juist is located directly at the kilometer-long beach of the North Sea. The Wadden Sea World Heritage Site is just right on your doorstep! Even if you can’t always go swimming thanks to high and low tide – it never gets boring here, because the Wadden Sea is constantly in the move and there is always something to discover. Plants and animals have adapted to these changes and during a guided mudflat hike you will learn a lot about their special habitat and the sensitive ecosystem. Have you ever seen a cockle burrowing into the mudflat or have you ever had a beach crab in your hand? Excitement for the whole family – and if you have the chance to encounter seals, your holiday happiness will be perfect!
Thanks to Mother Nature
The Peruvians feel closely connected to nature and you can sense this at all the Inkaterra Hotels. All hotels of the Inkaterra Group are unique retreats in nature and combine luxury and sustainability. Through the NGO Inkaterra Asociación (ITA), Inkaterra conducts ecological research within the hotels in Tambopata, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Urubamba, and Cabo Blanco – and you can even join the research and explore the Peruvian rainforest yourself or discover rare animals like the Andean bear. In addition to conservation, Inkaterra is also committed to preserving the local culture and providing guests with authentic experiences.

Even today, many Peruvians still worship “Pachamama”, Mother Earth and goddess of fertility. According to old legends, she is particularly thirsty and hungry in August and must be provided with numerous gifts. The “Pay the Earth” ceremony is annually celebrated throughout Peru and guests of the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel can experience the festivities for themselves: A local shaman will perform a moving and traditional ritual in which you too can express your gratitude for Mother Earth. A truly unique experience!

A visit to the tea region of India
Along the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra river in the lush countryside of the Eastern Himalayas, the bungalows of Wild Mahseer are situated amidst the Eastern Himalayan Botanic Ark. Spend your holidays at India’s tea region Assam – and the cultural heritage of tea can be felt in many places in the eco-Hotel. The Wild Mahseer is located on a former tea plantation and you will live in lovingly restored buildings, which were built in 1864 by the British Assam Tea Company. From the history and culture of tea-drinking to tea-tastings, workshops to learn about the different qualities of tea and to the opportunity to create your own personal tea blend to take back home – take part in a wide range of tea-related activities.
For those who want to have an authentic experience, Wild Mahseer is happy to organize a night with a host family. During a homestay in one of the small communities, you can not only explore the village but also enjoy the delicious, home-made cuisine, help with agricultural work or give traditional handicrafts a try.
