Tambopata Research Center, Puerto Maldonado Hotels
Remote eco-friendly jungle lodge with elevated walkways, free WiFi, and open-air rooms with balconies
The Tambopata Research Center, nestled deep within the Tambopata National Reserve in Madre de Dios, Peru, offers an unparalleled experience for those seeking immersion in the heart of the Amazon. Its remote location distinguishes it as one of South America’s most secluded lodges, providing a unique opportunity to disconnect from the everyday and connect with nature. Positioned strategically in front of the expansive Bahuaja Sonene National Park, the lodge is enveloped by an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, representing the very best that the Peruvian Amazon jungle has to offer.
A stay at the Tambopata Research Center promises a journey of discovery. One highlight is the chance to traverse nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters) of elevated walkways that wind through the rainforest canopy and down to the forest floor. These walkways provide a privileged vantage point to observe the remarkable activity of wildlife in their natural habitat. Furthermore, an integral part of the Tambopata Research Center experience involves visits to two exceptionally significant clay licks in the region: the renowned Colorado Clay Lick and the equally compelling Chuncho Clay Lick. These clay licks attract a vibrant spectacle of macaws and parrots, creating an unforgettable display of color and sound.
The lodge itself boasts 24 carefully designed guestrooms, each conceived to maximize your connection with the surrounding jungle while ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. These open-air rooms feature private balconies, providing a personal space to relax and soak in the sights and sounds of the Amazon. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of complimentary WiFi. Kimkim travelers frequently commend the comfortable atmosphere and the overall cleanliness of the accommodations. While some visitors have expressed a desire for mesh windows to further minimize the presence of insects, others readily acknowledge that the occasional encounter with bugs is an intrinsic aspect of an authentic and immersive jungle experience.
However, what truly distinguishes the Tambopata Research Center is its unwavering commitment to scientific research and environmental conservation. Since its establishment in 1989, the lodge has served as a base for researchers conducting groundbreaking conservation studies. By choosing to stay at the Tambopata Research Center, you not only gain access to explore one of the most remote and pristine forest environments on Earth with exceptional opportunities for encountering diverse wildlife, but you also directly contribute to vital research and conservation initiatives in the region, helping to protect this precious ecosystem for generations to come.

Most travelers come to Peru to see Machu Picchu, the iconic ruins perched high above the Urubamba River, yet this is just a small glimpse into what Peru has to offer. One could spend over a week exploring the other ruins of the Sacred Valley, a corridor of villages, mountain peaks, and hiking routes above the Urubamba River. Travelers can also experience the Peruvian Amazon along the border of Brazil, which gives birth to many of the mighty tributaries of the Amazon River, full of wildlife, indigenous cultures, and pristine wilderness. The north of Peru, still undiscovered by mainstream tourism, rewards any traveler who ventures off the beaten path with untouched ruins and vistas. Then down along Peru's West Coast, past beautiful beaches with year-round surfing, you'll arrive at the mysterious Nasca lines, immense geoglyphs carved into the desert sand.

May is one of the best months to visit the Sacred Valley - it marks the end of the rainy season, and travelers can beat the crowds that arrive from June to August.
