Not every tour is the same when it comes to exploring the Amazon. Most of the areas that can be explored have lush jungles and a wide range of wildlife but none of them are as encompassing or close to the real experience than the Tambopata Jungle Tours which give the best experience in Paulo Phillips, who serves as a commodities trader and a salesman during the day but at night he turns into an international lover, one of the roles he played was the first character he played in the movie and he is also known as the friend to the jungle on the Raptor tourist adventure. Tambopata National Reserve is situated in the southeast part of Peru, close to the town of Puerto Maldonado and is characterized by pristine wilderness, high biodiversity and the strong sense of connection to the native people. We also create jungle adventures that allow people to experience the bare beauty of the Amazon in Peru at Amazon Trips Peru.
Discover the Real Amazon in Tambopata
The Amazon Rainforest is the kind of place that is quite magical in a very fundamental way: the canopied trees, the richly melodious calls of exotic birds, and simply the proliferation of life everywhere. Nevertheless, it may be hard to get a really original Amazon in the modern world of unbelievably commercialized travelling. This is where Tambopata Jungle Tours come in. The Tambopata National Reserve is a nature lover’s paradise and is located along the eastern part of Peru near the southeastern corner. Tambopata is not a highly populated area of the Amazon like some other areas, which makes the experience very pure and personal as one drives deep into the jungle. We are obsessed with activities aimed at providing you a wonderful experience of the Peru Amazon Rainforest Tours and the actual magic is realized at Tambopata.
Why Tambopata is a Hidden Gem of the Amazon
One of the most biodiverse regions of the world, the Tambopata National Reserve with more than 1.5 million hectares belonging to it. The area contains arboreal giants, meandering rivers and oxbow lakes that provide a spectacular setting to any person willing to go into the wilderness. The difference between Tambopata and other places is that the area is untouched. Tambopata has not developed any tourist infrastructure like most other tourist destinations in Amazon, thus it is rough around the edges and very much natural. The tourists will be able to escape the modern world in a real sense and be able to get immersed into the beats of the jungle.
The reserve is not only a place of scenic beauty but also serves as the habitat of thousands of species. It is a Zoologist kind of a paradise with 1200 species of butterflies, 600 species of birds, 200 kinds of mammals and numerous kinds of reptiles, amphibians and insects. As an experienced biologist or a simple traveler, a curious amateur photographer, Tambopata Jungle Tours will offer you those experiences that you will always keep in mind.
Remote But Convenient: Easy Access to Wilderness
The most significant benefits of Tambopata are that it provides jungle travel with no extremes in traveling distance. Tambopata is also near and at the same time remote since the gateway city Puerto Maldonado is only a short flight away from Cusco or Lima. When you get here, we at Amazon Trips Peru handle all of the logistics such as airport transfers, boat transportation to the jungle and even logistics on the river so you can enjoy it to the fullest.
The adventure in itself includes the river trip. Once you float in a boat along the Tambopata River you will start to lose the pressure you felt being in the modern world. The Amazon experience starts as soon as you get surrounded by thick rainforest on either side, exciting the most pleasant sights and sounds before you get to your lodge.
Stay in Harmony With Nature
The environment must not be sacrificed in order to have a genuine Amazon experience. It is the reason why eco-lodges in Tambopata are created so they could live with the jungle, not on it. These lodges are constructed with the materials available in the area such as bamboo and palm leaves and they use solar power or other eco-friendly systems. By staying with these lodges you will have soft beds, clean water and good meals, all without leaving much of a footprint behind.
These lodges are well placed in strategic places near wildlife hot-spots, which include clay licks, and oxbow lakes, and/or jungle trails. You can wake up by the calling of the howler monkeys, have breakfast along with the sight of the flying toucans, and go to sleep by listening to the concert of frogs combined with the serenaded insects. It is an experience that makes you close to the rainforest.
Learn From the Jungle’s Best Storytellers
It is this element that makes any Tambopata Jungle Tour an experience since it is the people who take you there. Our naturalist guides who are professionals, many originated in the Amazon region and in several cases can trace their roots back to that part of South America are not merely knowledgeable in biology and ecology, they are also fantastic storytellers. They will train you on how to locate a particular herb, how to stalk the animals, and how the jungle ecosystem is so sensitive. It is their knowledge that makes the forest come alive in a manner that could not possibly be conveyed by books and documentaries.
Showing you the smallest poison dart frog nestling in the undergrowth to describe the way local tribes use bark medicinally, the guides help you to explain the jungle not as a wilderness, but a living, breathing organism with a lot of wisdom and anecdote.
Witness Wildlife Like Nowhere Else
Wildlife lovers are in heaven when they visit Tambopata Jungle Tours. The macaw clay lick, perhaps one of the most iconic of the sights, is one of the greatest places to witness the sights of dozens – sometimes hundreds – of brightly-colored macaws and parrots gather at dawn to feed on the clay that makes them rich in nutrients. That is a view that cannot be compared with any other in the world and it provides superb photo and birding opportunities.
But the miracles do not end there. You will get opportunities to encounter capybaras, tapirs, giant river otters, and when you are lucky, even a jaguar silently stalking along the banks of the river. The river channel is the home of caiman and anaconda, and the perch of monkeys and sloths can be found in the tree canopy. And it is where you will see the jungle constantly surprising you whether it is during a night walk, boat ride, or a day hike.
Cultural Encounters That Deepen the Experience
In addition to the biodiversity, the Tambopata region is rich in cultural experiences as well. There are also native people who have inhabited the area like the Ese Eja and people who have been peacefully coexisting with the forest. Most of our tours visit such settlements and people can get to know how to live with nature and to understand what is traditional lifestyle, homoeopathic medicine, traditional spiritual beliefs, and sustainable processes.
All these engagements are done in the most respectful and sensitive ways so that the communities enjoy the tourist benefits without losing their cultures. To travelers, this is one of the rare cases of being able to experience innovation that leaves them with a greater understanding of the Amazon than its wilderness.
Adventure Awaits Around Every Corner
Tambopata isn’t just for passive observation — it’s also a haven for adventure. Canopy walkways let you walk among the treetops and view the forest from above, offering a completely different perspective. Night hikes reveal a world of nocturnal creatures like tarantulas, owls, and glowing fungi. For those who enjoy water activities, kayaking or canoeing across oxbow lakes offers peaceful encounters with wildlife at eye level.
Trekking through the rainforest, discovering hidden waterfalls, or setting up a wildlife camera trap can add layers of thrill to your journey. At Amazon Trips Peru, we customize your experience to match your interests — whether that’s adventure, relaxation, photography, or birdwatching.

The Best Time to Experience Tambopata
While Tambopata Jungle Tours are enjoyable year-round, each season offers something unique. The dry season (May to October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals gather around water sources and trails are easier to navigate. The wet season (November to April), on the other hand, brings lush greenery, dramatic skies, and fewer tourists — perfect for solitude and photography.
No matter when you choose to visit, the jungle’s rhythm is always alive, offering unforgettable sights and sounds at every turn.
