Our protected Amazon rainforest offers the best chances to see animals
25 October 2024 (217 visits)Our rainforest eco-lodge, located in a protected area of the Amazon basin of Peru, offers an exceptional wildlife observation experience, because the forests under our custodianship are officially protected by Peruvian law.
When you plan an Amazon tour in Peru, or anywhere else in South America, location is the key. While some animals are able to adapt to life in disturbed secondary forest, most species prefer to roam pristine, unspoiled forest. Our eco-lodge is strategically located in the buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve, a protected area that is home to an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. We have been protecting the forests that surround our jungle lodge for more than 30 years, and as part of the jungle trips we offer, we take our guests into the untouched rainforest of the adjacent National Reserve to see and experience Amazon animals, trees and plants.
The Amazon rainforest of South America is vast, and the experience of visiting the rainforest in Peru is not comparable to a safari in Africa, where the savanna is open and animals are generally easier to spot. Here in the heart of the Amazon basin, the more you explore rainforest trails on foot, the more chances you will have to see diverse wildlife. At Tambopata Ecolodge, that’s why we employ expert local guides, who know where to take our guests to give them the best chance of seeing some of the jungle’s most elusive animals.
Guides are the most important aspect of an Amazon tour experience. Their task goes far beyond just pointing out wildlife. At Tambopata Ecolodge, our guides are locally based naturalists who have known the forests we work to protect and conserve for much of their lives. It is their unique knowledge that enhances our guests’ understanding of the complex and delicate Amazon rainforest ecosystem, making every jungle trip we offer a richer and more meaningful experience.
