A truly magical experience. It’s set in a completely unique location in the middle of the jungle with no other lodges around. The guide we had (Jarinson) was the best, so so knowledgeable, experienced and lovely to spend the time with. The lodge itself is beautiful and food was great too. Would highly recommend. Read all

Wow where do I even begin. This was one of the most unique and special experiences we've ever had. You are smack dab in the middle of nowhere, deep in the Amazon jungle. Surrounded by plants and animals of all kinds and some of the most breathtaking scenery you can imagine. And in the company of scientists doing conservation work all around you. The facility is gorgeous beyond belief. Everything is so thoughtfully prepared, from water servers everywhere to comfy couches to hammocks to raised walkways so you can pad around barefoot without feeling like you're going to step on a scorpion. The meals are positively gourmet. They have delicious fresh juice out for you when you come back from your hikes. We spend 2 days there and I genuinely feel like I saw the jungle. 2-3 excursions a day with a private guide to show you everything from plants to birds to animals to a very tall tower where you can watch the sunset over the canopy. We only had 3 people in our group but I believe there can be up to 7. You have the same guide your whole trip so you really get to know them. Johan was our guide and he was wonderful. And I do believe the number of excursions/type/length can be adjusted based on your groups physical ability. The rooms are beautiful and comfy and they help you prepare mosquito netting at night so you can be comfortable. There's a full bar, in the middle of the rainforest. At night there are short (30 min) lectures you can go to if you want where the scientists talk about their work. Fascinating. We loved that the center was very eco conscious and put a lot of effort into being low impact while also offering a truly luxurious experience. That being said. Do yourself a favor and read the web site. This experience will not be for everyone. Ppl posting negative comments here about the heat, bugs, open rooms, etc did not do their homework. You are far, far inside pristine Amazon jungle. It is hot, humid, rainy, and there are bugs. You can expect to use your lovely shower a few times a day to cool off. Fortunately you have lots of down time during the heat of the day to rest under the ceiling fan in your room. There were lots of grasshoppers, moths etc around our room but honestly we didn't have many issues with biting insects or mosquitos despite visiting during the rainy season (we did use bug spray). Your room has one open wall that faces nature. Yes, technically than means someone could see you walking around naked in your room, but you are 15 feet up in the air and facing directly into thick jungle, there is no one out there besides birds and monkeys to see you. They do cut the brush back so nothing except maybe some birds could get into your room. The sounds are magical at night and during the day. It's hot especially if you go during the rainy season as we did. If you hate bugs or can't handle life without air conditioning, this is not for you. Truthfully we had no issues sleeping. Ventilation is another big benefit of the one open wall. Think of this as the glampiest glamping you'll ever do and you will not be disappointed. Read the web site and reviews thoroughly and you won't be surprised. Being good hiking shoes, a lightweight waterproof jacket, refillable water bottle, a hat, binoculars (you can rent them too), bug spray, and sunscreen. Lightweight long sleeved shirts and long pants are essential bc you want to be covered so you won't get bitten or in case you brush up against a nasty plant. We saw monkeys, macaws, capybaras, owls, a caiman, and some cool jungle bugs. The guides even have a telescope you can use to both look at the animals and take great pictures with your phone. once in a lifetime experience in one of the most special and precious ecosystems in the world. Worth every penny and honestly we felt the price was cheap considering what you get. The highlight of our trip to Peru. Thank you so much. Read all

It was our first time in the rainforest and we wouldn't do it any other way. The boat rides on the Madre de Dios and the walks through the rainforests were both exciting and peaceful. Exciting when we spotted wildlife and peaceful as we settled in to hear the sounds and sights of the forest. The lodge was comfortable and the food was great. The research talks in the evenings were a great pre-dinner ritual for us. Do check them out. Saul was an amazing guide - friendly, fun, knowledgeable and very tuned to the rainforest. He could pick up on slight sounds and movements and helped us spot some great wildlife. Read all

TRC is up close with nature deep inside the Peruvian Amazon. If you are a fan of wildlife and love being in the nature this is the place for you. This is an eco lodge, so come with similar expectations. The sound of macaws flying over would make your day. TRC is doing some amazing work on Macaw conservation, the visits to the clay lick would be special. During your journey you would be able to spot a number of animals, birds. Do not miss the guided walks, you would really see a lot of monkeys. If you are a photographer, invest in a good zoom lens ( it will pay you back). The other thing is the amazing staff that take care of you. The food is among the very best I tasted in Peru and they really pamper you. So make sure you walk a lot to burn the additional calories 🙂 Starting from the booking to the pickup in the airport everything is meticulously planned. From Mariella of the booking team, Juan Carlos the guide and Tania, our manager in the hotel everyone was fantastic. Ultimately spotting wild animals is a lot of luck, but this would be a great experience. Rooms: Rooms are large, spacious with wide open balconies, but no monkeys come in ( they strictly don't encourage wildlife feeding). Nearby activities: Lots of them, morning hikes, afternoon hikes, sunset cruise Walkability: You need to walk a bit, so you need to be mobile Food & drinks: Awesome Buffet, great food. Read all

TRC was an amazing place to stay. Being in the Amazon rainforest was truly like no other trip I have or will ever take. From arrival we were greeted by staff with cool drinks, warm welcomes. Beautiful main area w bar, sofas, tables,games. Our guide Fernando was SO knowledgeable, interesting, enthusiastic,. We already miss his smile and laugh 🙂 We did every excursion available over our 4 days there. The night hike turned out to be our favorite as we spotted the wandering spider then and many other intersting moths/insects. January is hot and humid, so yes expect to be wet,sweaty. Pack extra bag for wet stinky clothes ... Be ok w insects as no 4th wall in your rooms so at night mosquitio nets do a good job preventing bugs in your bed but when you wake up to use bathroom excpect moths, grasshopppers etc in room. All harmless!! TRC does provide nice rainboots for wet swampy treks.. Read all

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the getgo, it was easy to coordinate our 4-day stay at Tambopata. The booking was all done via email with quick responses, there was clear communication leading up to our stay and even upon arrival the staff was extremely organized (incl. taking our bags and making sure they arrived to our rooms). During our stay the staff was all very friendly and accomodating, the lodge was always clean (actually impressively clean given it is located in the jungle), and the food was great and plentiful. By far the best part of our stay was our tour guide, Saul. Upon arrival, Saul helped us pick our activities based on what animals we wanted to see (using his 10 years of experience). He worked on timing to make sure we can see as much as possible, was extremely knowledgable on the rainforest, the plants, the insects and the animals and noticeably put in the extra effort to find animals. You can tell that he truly loves his job and was always equally as excited to see the animals as us, even though he has seen them thousands of times. He helped us find monkeys, birds, countless insects, lizards, capybaras ect. I am 100% confident our experience wouldn't be the same without him. He even helped us capture these cool photos with only our iphone!! If you are planning to stay are TRC, I would highly recommend asking for Saul as a tour guide, if possible. Read all

A friend and I stayed four nights. It was an amazing experience unlike anything else. Excellent service and staff. Our guide, Donnell, was extremely knowledgeable, he identified birds by sound or flight alone, could talk about any tree, plant, animal, etc., and also knew all of the local medicinal remedies. Guides that work at TRC have extensive training and experience. TRC conservation and research efforts are also great. Rooms: These rooms are open to the jungle, you will get bugs, spiders, and even lizards in your room! They provide mosquito nets though for sleeping. Safety: Felt completely safe the entire time. Food & drinks: Food and drinks were fine, nothing special but good enough. Read all

Our four night stay at the Tambopata research center exceeded every expectation of our trip to the Amazon. The guided walks through the forest, Day and night, were nothing short of spectacular. Rooms: open, spacious, right in the middle of the jungle. Ours had a small bar fridge but we had no use and the seal seemed in disrepair, so not sure it would have kept anything cold. Nearby activities: our guide, Juan Carlos, definitely made this trip spectacular. He even took several of the photos i posted here through his spotting scope on my iphone8. He was happy to accommodate our hike selections at every time slot and take us beyond the scheduled walks. There was never any down time unless you needed it. We enjoyed boat ride to the clay look, our evenings at the bug light, and our favorite walk went to a lookout (above the old claylick) Safety: don't touch any of the bugs that are on the handrails. Be especially careful of the fuzzy ones. Also be sure rubber boots not occupied before sticking foot inside. Other than that - everything seemed pretty safe. Walkability: there is a very extensive and well marked trail system, fairly easy to learn your way around in a day or two. However, guests are not permitted to wonder on their own. A guide needs to accompany you whenever you leave the platform. Food & drinks: We had a buffett a couple nights. They kept it well stocked for all the guests and staff ate afterwards, so nothing was left to run out. the food was all excellent. the last couple days there were only a few guests and we were served a set menu at our tables, always way more food than we could eat but was all delicious so we did try our best.

[Positive]: The property is one of a kind located in the heart of the Amazon forest. Spacious rooms, fresh & delicious food, lovely tours and fantastic staff! Special shout out to Louis, the bartender, for his unique cocktails and tips on travel in Peru. Wifi is good in the main areas as well, so you are connected. [Negative]: Power cuts in the night meant no ceiling fan, which made sleeping in the humid jungle difficult. They should reconsider the timings. Also the location of the ceiling fan is not ideal. A standing fan would be much better Read all

This is a trip of a lifetime! The staff was fantastic. Our guide, Eric, was knowledgeable and organized. With Eric, we saw seven of the eight monkey species, Macaws, Parrots, and over 75 other bird species. The river rides to get to TRC and the clay licks, were beautiful. The sunrise over the river and the wildlife (deer, capybara, birds, turtles) along the river make this a unique experience for photographers and nature lovers. Go for a night walk through the jungle, turn your lights out, and just soak in the sounds of the frogs, insects, and owls. We loved the three wall room with nice facilities and the jungle right outside. Waking up to the Red Howler monkeys calling, and then the macaws and parrots making a racket, was better than an alarm clock. Follow the TRC recommendations. Dress for heat and humidity, accept that you are going to perspire, and you will have a wonderful trip. Read all
