The Amazon rainforest covers around 40% of South America and is home to the planet’s most unspoiled tropical wilderness areas. The Amazon basin is the perfect choice for lovers of nature and sustainable tourism, or for anyone simply looking for a different kind of vacation in South America. Situated in protected jungle, our Tambopata Ecolodge offers the perfect add-on to the other best tourism attractions and travel destinations in Peru, which include Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.
It is our accessibility that makes a jungle trip with us at our eco-lodge the best option for travelers on a 10-day or 2-week Peru vacation. Most travelers to Peru come to see the cultural, historical and archaeological wonders of Cusco and Machu Picchu, sometimes unaware that 60% of Peru is Amazon rainforest. And even fewer travelers are aware that they can visit the Amazon from Cusco, via regular flights, or a bus ride to the jungle town of Puerto Maldonado, where we meet all our guests for the boat journey to our rainforest lodge.
Our Private Conservation Area and the neighboring Tambopata National Reserve are located within the most biodiverse areas of rainforest in South America. Every year, the government-protected Tambopata National Reserve sets new world records for biodiversity.
The rainforest lakes where we guide our guests are among the best places in the Amazon forest to spot animals. At the same time, our forests are famous for their clay licks, where rainforest birds and other animals come to feed on clay as a method of neutralizing certain toxins contained in the fruits they eat. In Tambopata, these clay licks attract many species of macaws and parrots, and observing so many of these colorful and noisy birds in one place is an unforgettable experience!
