02 July 2026 (176 visits)Planning a vacation in Peru? The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse, life-changing adventures you can choose. By choosing to travel from Cusco to the pristine protected jungles of Tambopata, for a remote, deep-jungle adventure, you are selecting the most accessible authentic rainforest trip in South America.
Peru's Amazon is the second-largest in South America, after Brazil, and by far the easiest to reach. But where you start dictates your whole experience, and here in Tambopata we are so accessible that travelers enjoying a short vacation in Peru can venture deep into the rainforest in the packages we offer lasting just 3 or 4 days.
Located in southern Peru, Tambopata is the perfect rainforest destination for travelers who plan to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu, and who want to see the Amazon basin before they fly back to Lima for their international return flight.
Tambopata National Reserve offers the opportunity to experience some of the most pristine and wildlife-dense ecosystems on the planet. To reach us, you can take a 45-minute flight from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado, or fly straight in from Lima to Puerto Maldonado, and easily access our world-renowned macaw clay licks, lakes inhabited by caimans and giant otters, and rivers where jaguars can be seen coming down to the banks to drink!
Whether you’re planning to travel in the dry or wet season, the forests of Tambopata are filled with wildlife year-round. The vibrant green rainforest we work to protect is home to beautiful animals that our guests can observe and photograph, with the help of our expert naturalist guides.
