the jungle reserve of Tambopata is located in the South East of Peru, around a 14 hour drive or 1 hour flight from the Andean capital of Cusco. It is fairly small compared with other jungle reserves, but is overflowing with abundant life. These jungle tours allow you to experience the magic, diversity and tranquility of one of the most diverse locations on earth.

We’ll continue to Capitanía, a small river port, where we’ll board a motorized boat to cross the Madre de Dios River. As the trip progresses, we’ll become immersed in the natural surroundings of the jungle while observing the ronsoco, caimans, turtles, herons, cormorants and other animal species.
We’ll arrive at the Ecoamazonia Lodge and enjoy an exquisite welcome drink. Then, we’ll settle into our bungalows and have lunch.

We’ll complete our visit of the island while enjoying the sunset—the most impressive moment of any day in the jungle. Then, we’ll return to the lodge to end the day with a pleasant dinner.
