Escape to the Amazon rainforest in Peru with an unforgettable jungle tour and lodge stay
13 August 2026 (56 visits)Here in the protected rainforest of Tambopata, your Amazon jungle trip begins the moment you step off the plane in the town of Puerto Maldonado. After a short drive, a scenic boat ride along the Tambopata River takes you from the bustling modern world into the absolute tranquility of unspoiled nature. Deep inside the buffer zone of the National Reserve, our rustic but comfortable eco-lodge blends seamlessly into the surrounding rainforest.
From our remote Tambopata Ecolodge, we offer small group excursions led by expert local guides, tailored for nature lovers. At Tambopata’s famous macaw clay licks, our guests can witness the sight of scores of bright red, yellow, blue and green macaws, parrots and parakeets gathering at riverbanks to eat mineral-rich clay.
At hidden oxbow lakes like Sachavacayoc and Condenado, our guides escort travelers as they glide silently on catamaran canoes, to spot giant river otters, caimans, and many of Tambopata’s more than 600 bird species. And during night walks and after-dark boat trips, our guests can explore the hidden wonders of the nighttime rainforest, from glowing insects and colorful tree frogs, to the eye shine of up to four species of caiman.
The government-protected untouched ecosystems of Tambopata support the sustainable local ecotourism we helped to pioneer more than 35 years ago. Here in the heart of the remote 274,000-plus hectares of Tambopata National Reserve, those who travel to Peru from all over the world to see Machu Picchu and Cusco can also experience some of the highest biodiversity ratings on Earth.
So, when you visit Peru, make sure you pack your binoculars, some light long-sleeve clothing, your sunscreen and a rain jacket, and join us in the Amazon rainforest for the adventure of a lifetime!
