Where to book the best Amazon jungle tour in Peru

02 November 2024 (223 visits)

The Peruvian rainforest offers the best way to visit the Amazon jungle. After Brazil, Peru is home to the second largest area of rainforest in South America. Along with Ecuador, Peru’s rainforest is located in the western Amazon basin. With ecological floors ranging from the high jungle of the Andean foothills to the lowland rainforest, this area offers the most diverse wildlife and plant life to be found anywhere on the continent.

 

What makes an Amazon rainforest visit in Peru the best option, when compared to neighboring countries like Brazil or Ecuador, is how well designed and thought-out rainforest ecotourism is in Peru, combined with the unmatched accessibility of our best jungle destinations, particularly in the case of Tambopata, where our Tambopata Ecolodge is located.

 

We built our rainforest lodge on the edge of what is now Tambopata National Reserve more than thirty years ago, and today the tropical forests we work to protect form the buffer zone that keeps the National Reserve safe from exploitation.

 

Of the two main gateways into the Peruvian Amazon, the town of Puerto Maldonado, in the southeast of Peru, is the best option for those who travel to Peru with the main goal of seeing Machu Picchu and Cusco, and maybe hiking the Inca Trail.

 

This is because there are regular flights from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado, as well as from Lima to Puerto Maldonado, and there is even an overnight bus service from Cusco.

 

In Puerto Maldonado, our Tambopata Ecolodge team meets all our guests from the airport, bus terminal, or their hotel. Leaving the town behind, we take our guests to the river port, for the relaxing boat ride to our jungle lodge, located in protected primary rainforest, far beyond the secondary forest that surrounds Puerto Maldonado.

 

This means that the forests surrounding our comfortable lodge, together with those of our big neighbor, Tambopata National Reserve, are filled with pristine plant life, and hundreds of typical Amazon animal species.

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.
