19 January 2026 (92 visits)

For the best jungle trip in South America Peru is the leading contender. And, among all the natural areas in the Amazon rainforest of Peru protected for decades by the national government, for most people who travel to Peru Tambopata is the best choice for a rainforest tour.

 

Tambopata offers the easiest access to the Amazon from Lima or Cusco, via scheduled flights from those cities, and even a bus service to Puerto Maldonado from Cusco. And the Tambopata National Reserve where we offer professionally guided ecotourism experiences is home to unparalleled biodiversity, in the form of literally hundreds of animal and plant species. It is this combination of accessibility for those who visit Peru to see Cusco and Machu Picchu, plus great wildlife, that makes Tambopata the best place to visit the Amazon in Peru.

 

For convenience, comfortable accommodation and good food in a picturesque jungle lodge, excellent biodiversity and a guided excursions led by experienced and knowledgeable local guides, Tambopata is impossible to beat.

 

When you plan your vacation in Peru, you will of course want to see the many attractions in and around Cusco. These include the historic center of Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and Rainbow Mountain. And you will certainly have decided to visit Peru so that you can see Machu Picchu, which from Cusco can be reached by train or via the Inca Trail.

 

But, what many travelers don’t realize when they travel to Cusco is that it is also easy to visit the Amazon basin from Peru’s most popular tourist destination. To visit us at our remote Tambopata Ecolodge, all you need to do is book a jungle trip with us, and we take care of the rest! We meet all our guests from Puerto Maldonado airport or bus station for the relaxing river journey to our rainforest lodge. And here in our jungle home, we offer excursions deep into the forest, combined with warm hospitality during our guests’ downtime between activities!!

What your rainforest visit means

In Peru ecotourism has helped make it possible to create national reserves and save the forests of the Amazon basin from destruction. By implementing our ecotourism-based conservation model (see our video), we are ensuring the forests will be around for future generations to appreciate. Pioneering projects like Tambopata Ecolodge, which was established in 1991, serve as a conservation model, by showing how responsible ecotourism can support conservation initiatives.
