The Best Green Hotel in South America
Considered the Oscars of tourism, the World Travel Awards recognized Tambopata Research Center as the best Green Hotel in South America.
During the last 3 years, despite the pandemic, our ecolodges were nominated in different categories in the prestigious World Travel Awards, considered the Oscars of tourism.
The last gala of the World Travel Awards, took place in Jamaica, last August, which brought together the best destinations, hotels, and tour operators, among others, from the Caribbean and the Americas.
The Tambopata Research Center was awarded the South America Leading Green Hotel award, a category that highlights the best environmental practices from the design of the hotel to its complete operation, in addition to the unique concept that brings travelers closer to living with nature in a respectful environment with the forest and its inhabitants.
This ecolodge in Tambopata is considered the most remote in the world, it is located within the Tambopata National Reserve, in front of the Bahuaja Sonene National Park, in one of the most biodiverse places on earth in Madre de Dios – Peru, and was the only one representing to the region.
Thirty years ago, the founders Eduardo Nycander and Kurt Holle, thanks to great allies such as the Ese Eja de Infierno Native Community and the National Service of Protected Natural Areas – SERNANP, were able to carry out the dream of making the conservation of Amazonian forests sustainable with a minimal impact through ecotourism.
Did you know that the Native Community of Infierno has its own lodge in Tambopata? Get to know Posada Amazonas
Tambopata Research Center has a design inspired by native communities combining modernity and luxury, which allows the traveler to enjoy contact with nature throughout their stay accompanied by exploration and discovery of the Amazon forest.
In addition, all our ecolodges are strategically well located, which allows the traveler to live in harmony with nature in the midst of pristine forests with the best possibilities for observing wildlife since they are refuges preserved through ecotourism for decades, which generates a significant impact on forest health.

Luxury at our ecolodges is not about having airconditioning or so, is having the opportunity of being in the Amazon doing ecotourism and actively participating in scientific research and sharing ancestral knowledge of the communities is supported by our allies who trust and constantly support us in each of the projects that we develop in the region as the Native Community of Infierno, the National System of Natural Areas Protected by the State – SERNANP, the Natural History Museum of the National University of San Marcos, AIDER and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
We are all part of the change, and your visit not only fills your memories with great experiences and memories for a lifetime but also protects the Peruvian Amazon forests.

The lodge is located in the middle of the forest accessible only by boat. The experience was very unique and exciting. Service is great, and the fun part are the nature activities and tours the hotel offers for free. We had an amazing tour guide that had a lot of knowledge and was fun to spend time with. The rooms are totally open to the forest which is really cool the struggle is the there is no privacy at all in between the rooms, also food was pretty basic. All together a very unique experience.

This hotel is the perfect blend of comfort and hospitality, with the natural experience. The hotel is reached by a hours boat ride from Puerto Maldonado, expertly organized and accomplished. Most staff are members of the local Esa Ejja community. The food is good and plentiful. Hot water is always available and lovely bedding features mosquito nets. There is of course no air conditioning (one side wall is open in rach room) and the electricity is off for a few hours at night affecting overhead fans, so I was glad to have brought a small battery powered fan for sleeping. But the best of the experience is the wildlife. Our expert guide Oscar Mishaja introduced us to nearly 100 bird species, along with caimans, river otters, poison dart frogs and capybara. A trip of a lifetime. Read all

We had a surreal experience at Refugio Amazonas. From the well organized transportation to the warm welcome, hospitality and the experience of living in nature - we loved it all. Huge shout out to our guide Boris who went out of his way to ensure we had a good experience and got to watch all kinds of wild life. The meals and cocktails were delicious. And even though this place is smack in the middle of the jungle there was super fast WiFi available. We made unforgettable memories. Read all

El mejor hotel para visitar la Amazonia peruana. Hotel eco turístico metido en medio de la selva, equipado para visitar y vivir la selva, su flora y fauna, en todas sus facetas. Todo incluido, con guías preparados y amables, resultó una experiencia increíble para mi familia. Dentro de las opciones no se debe perder el Canopy de 45 metros de altura para observar y escuchar la selva, así como el lago de las tres Chimbadas, lugar único para ver caimanes, nutrias gigantes, monos y aves exóticas. Recomiendo mínimo dos noches!!! Read all
