Tambopata Peru Tour – Tambopata Tours (4 Days)

Overview

Tambopata Peru Tour provides a remarkable opportunity to explore life deep within the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. This jungle experience is among the most popular options in Tambopata, offering a chance to observe a wide range of plant species, wild animals, and exotic birds native to the Tambopata National Reserve.

Located in southern Peru, the city of Puerto Maldonado in Madre de Dios province serves as the main gateway to Tambopata. Each tour includes convenient transfers from the airport or bus terminal to ensure a comfortable and seamless journey through the Peruvian Amazon.

The Tambopata rainforest covers an immense portion of the region and is home to over 650 species of birds and more than 1,500 species of butterflies. One of the highlights of the area is the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick — the largest of its kind in the world — where macaws, parakeets, and vibrantly colored parrots gather to feed on mineral-rich clay that helps them remove toxins from their systems.

This 4-day Tambopata Peru Tour has been thoughtfully designed to showcase the best of the Amazon rainforest, led by an experienced English-speaking local guide. For a complete jungle immersion, guests stay in comfortable rooms with private bathrooms at an authentic rainforest lodge.
