Tambopata, Peruvian Amazon

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tambopata is a biodiverse region in the southern Peruvian Amazon, centred around Puerto Maldonado in the Madre de Dios department. It is home to the Tambopata National Reserve and the vast Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, protecting one of the most species-rich ecosystems on Earth. The area is renowned for its extraordinary wildlife — including giant river otters, macaws, tapirs, and hundreds of butterfly and bird species — making it a prime destination for eco-tourism and wildlife watching. Travellers come for jungle lodges deep in the rainforest, canopy walks, oxbow lake excursions, and the chance to visit the famous macaw clay licks at Colpa de Guacamayos.

Self-Launched Tambopata Amazon Lodge Adventure — 6 Days

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 6-day G Lodge Amazon trip: five nights at a comfortable jungle lodge on the Tambopata River near Puerto Maldonado, with naturalist-led night walks, caiman-spotting cruises, oxbow lake excursions, a macaw clay lick visit and a Brazil nut conservation walk. Instead of booking the operator's package, you book a comparable eco-lodge direct (or via an independent local agency like Tambopata Ecolodge, Posada Amazonas or a small Puerto Maldonado operator), fly or bus into Puerto Maldonado yourself, and take shared boats/collectivos. All costs are approximate backpacker-to-midrange rates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Tambopata, Peruvian Amazon yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
