The Tambopata Research Center (TRC) takes you as deep into the Peruvian Amazon as you can go, making it a dream destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Surrounded by one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, you’ll be treated to incredible wildlife—think vibrant macaws, curious monkeys, and maybe even a glimpse of a jaguar if luck’s on your side.
One of the highlights of staying here is the giant macaw clay lick nearby. Imagine dozens of brilliantly colored parrots and macaws gathering in one place—it’s like stepping into a real-life nature documentary.
Originally established as a research station, TRC remains a hub for wildlife studies, especially focused on the macaws. Staying at the lodge not only supports these vital conservation efforts but also lets you dive into the Amazon with guided hikes, night walks, and canoe trips, offering unforgettable encounters with its amazing creatures.
The lodge itself is simple and eco-friendly, featuring open-air rooms where you’ll fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the jungle. It’s not luxury, but it’s comfortable and gives you a true connection to the wild. If you’re after an authentic Amazon experience, TRC is the place to be.
