Our Ecolodge
The remote location of Tambopata Ecolodge, 68 kilometers by land and river from the nearest town, deep in the forest and close to natural oxbow lake ecosystems, means that the most remarkable attractions of the South American rainforest can be reached easily in half-day or full-day excursions, while evenings can be spent relaxing and enjoying our hotel standard accommodation, restaurant and bar services. At Tambopata Ecolodge a visit to unspoiled tropical forest habitats does not mean enduring discomfort. We offer our guests excellent lodge accommodation, with hotel-style comfort, infrastructure, facilities and food.

Minimal negative environmental impact
The exteriors of our cabin-like rooms are designed from local materials to harmonize with their surroundings. The Ecolodge’s interiors have been created with your comfort in mind, while many of the materials employed have been imported to the zone to minimize local environmental impact, while enhancing the luxurious feel of the accommodation. Rooms are spacious, well-decorated, comfortable and fully-screened against insects. Our two categories of accommodation –SUPERIOR and SUITE- have private bathrooms with hot water provided by solar panels, and the cabins have porches with hammocks for relaxing between trips into the surrounding forest.
Bar and restaurant
Peru is justly famous throughout the world for its fine cuisine, and at Tambopata Ecolodge we do everything possible to honor that tradition. After spending the day in the company of our guides, or even walking part of the sign-posted 25 kilometer trail system around the lodge independently, there could be no better way to spend the evening than a fine meal in our excellent restaurant or an exotic cocktail in our well-stocked bar.

- Guests are provided with a bowl of warm water and a towel for washing in the morning.
- All meals are cooked and served by Ecolodge staff during camping trips. A balanced diet is offered, and vegetarians and vegans can be catered for.
