Tambopata Reserve

The Tambopata Reserve is one of the most pristine rainforest areas of Perú. You will stay at a lodge that serves as base. The locale is quite distant from settlement, which makes getting there an adventure and an chance to observe wildlife.

When exploring the forest, you will be assisted by naturalist guides, who take a serious approach to the observation of wildlife. In small groups, you will explore some of the most unspoiled and magnificent rainforests in Perú. At night you will stay in a lodge with private cabins, toilets, and showers. In the daytime, you will occasionally visit a collpa in the rainforest, which in Quechua Indian language stands for a clay bank where macaws, other parrots, and many other types of birds gather in enormous groups to lick minerals from the soil. The collpa is one of the most fantastic wildlife spectacles in South America. On a single day there may be as many as six thousand parrots that come to feed at the clay lick.

You will be able to get a fantastic look at many different types of parrots from a hidden platform. Given the unspoiled location of the lodge, it is almost a certainty that you will also get to see some of the large mammals such as the tapir and the giant river otter that still thrive in this unspoiled wilderness.
