In Tambopata, you can navigate along rivers and lakes, observe reptiles under the moonlight, discover the Clay licks  frequented by colorful birds, and climb to the top of giant trees to witness the full spectacle of the Amazon rainforest.

The Tambopata National Reserve offers breathtaking landscapes from stunning sunrises to the melodious awakening of the jungle’s authentic sounds. This is the wildlife you need to experience during your journey through the Amazon.

This jungle adventure is truly unique. You will encounter an incredible variety of wild flora and fauna and feel a deep connection with the charms of untamed nature. Along the riverbanks, marvel at multicolored butterflies, playful monkeys, exotic birds, countless insects, beautiful taricayas (river turtles), the elusive jaguar, and the unforgettable sight of hundreds of parrots and macaws gathering to eat clay — a natural spectacle like no other.

Every step through this tropical paradise delights the senses. Discover the giant Lupuna, known as the “Mother of the Forest,” a sacred, ancient tree that shelters countless species beneath its wide umbrella-shaped crown. You’ll also find medicinal plants traditionally used by local communities to heal a wide range of ailments. The enormous roots and vines  that surround you create a magical atmosphere full of emotion and wonder.

Tambopata also invites you to enjoy the magnificent Sandoval Lake, considered one of the most beautiful in the Peruvian jungle. During a peaceful boat trip, you may spot parrots, herons, giant otters and caimans in their natural habitat.
