Founded back in 1991, the
Tambopata Eco Lodge is one of the
most established eco-tourism lodges on the
banks of the Tambopata River. There are now
a total of nine rainforest lodges in the
Puerto Maldonado area, reinforcing the
status of the region as one of the major
rainforest eco-tourism destinations in South
America.
With a capacity of 59 it is also one of the
smallest lodges, which is how we intend to
keep it. Smaller groups, we believe,
contribute to a more fulfilling visit and
reduce the impact on the many species of
fauna that abound in the surrounding forest.
The lodge employs around twenty Peruvian
staff, the majority of whom are resident in
Puerto Maldonado. In addition, there are a
number of naturalist guides, both from Peru
and abroad, who are at your service
throughout your stay. As well as guiding and
introducing visitors to the many marvels of
the forest, a number are undertaking
research projects, thereby contributing to a
greater ecological understanding of the area. |
