1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tambopata is a biodiverse region in the Madre de Dios department of southeastern Peru, centred around the gateway city of Puerto Maldonado. It is home to the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most species-rich protected areas on Earth, encompassing vast tracts of Amazon rainforest, oxbow lakes, and the famous Chuncho clay lick — one of the world's largest macaw licks. Travellers come here for wildlife watching, jungle trekking, river expeditions, and stays at remote eco-lodges deep in the forest, making it one of South America's premier destinations for immersive Amazon experiences.

Tambopata Amazon Lodge: 5-Day Self-Launched Rainforest Adventure

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 5-day G Lodge Amazon independent adventure: fly into Puerto Maldonado, then head upriver by motorised canoe to a riverside jungle lodge deep in the Tambopata Reserve. Each day is filled with caiman-spotting cruises on oxbow lakes, night walks, macaw and monkey spotting, and a Brazil nut conservation visit — all bookable directly with the lodge or a local Puerto Maldonado operator for a fraction of the tour price. You can travel solo and still join shared guided excursions, since virtually every Tambopata lodge runs fixed daily activities for its guests.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Tambopata, Puerto Maldonado, Peru 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."
