Amazon Rainforest: Wildlife Spotting & Eco-lodges

Tambopata National Reserve

Tambopata National Reserve is located in southeastern Peru, in the low Amazon, and is accessible from Puerto Maldonado. High-quality lodges will welcome you and help you discover the local flora and fauna. Whether by day or by night, you will board boats to reach various observation points to get as close as possible to the wildlife while strictly respecting their environment. With a variety of birds, monkeys, caimans, amphibians, insects, capybaras, and fish, your introduction to the Amazon rainforest promises to be exceptional.

Manu National Park

Manu National Park stretches from the Andes down to the low Amazon and is world-renowned for the sheer scale of its biodiversity. Here, you will encounter indigenous communities who live far from modern cities, preserving traditions entirely distinct from those you will experience in the Andes. Setting out from your lodge, you will have the opportunity to spot wildlife during walking excursions or from a boat gliding along the various rivers. Depending on the season, you may observe monkeys, giant otters, an immense diversity of birds, and countless species of insects.
