Beyond Machu Picchu Peru offers the best Amazon tours
04 May 2026 (248 visits)When you have seen the picture-perfect beauty of Machu Picchu and explored the hidden corners of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, or tasted the wonders of Lima’s seafood-based cuisine, to truly understand Peru take a few more days to travel down from the Andes into the humid, humming heart of planet Earth and visit the Amazon rainforest.
Covering more than 60% of the country, the Peruvian Amazon is the world’s largest biodiversity hotspot and a must-visit destination for any traveler seeking immersive contact with nature and an authentic adventure.
Unlike other parts of the Amazon basin, across South America, here in the Peruvian rainforest we offer unmatched accessibility, bringing our international guests face-to-face with lush tropical vegetation and exotic wildlife just a short flight from Lima or Cusco. And if you are visiting Peru on a budget, there’s even a bus service from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado!
From our comfortable jungle lodge, located 68 kilometers by river from the town of Puerto Maldonado, in the company of our experienced local guides, and in just a few days, travelers can explore Tambopata National Reserve, home to unsurpassed biodiversity, including the world's biggest macaw clay licks.
From a unique location accessible only by river, here at Tambopata Ecolodge we offer both conservation and comfort. Our sustainably-run eco-lodge combines creature comforts with eco-conscious practices, meaning that just by visiting us and immersing themselves in the Amazon rainforest, our guests are contributing to the protection of our corner of the world’s largest rainforest.
If you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime, combined with warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation and great food, join us in our jungle home and let us take you into the heart of the Amazon. Book your 2026 Peru rainforest tour with us today!
