Rainforest Expeditions is a Peruvian Ecotourism company established in 1989. It operates Posada Amazonas and Refugio Amazonas, adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve, and the Tambopata Research Center, inside it and directly beside the uninhabited and pristine Bahuaja-Sonene National Park.  These Tambopata Eco Lodges are a small part of the network of organisations and communities that are attempting to protect this amazing wilderness by creating and sharing the value of leaving the forest standing.   Experiencing Tambopata means easy access, fascinating nature, and generous people.

Posada Amazonas is an award-winning eco-lodge managed by Rainforest Expeditions in conjunction with the local Ese-Eja community of Infierno. Situated in primary lowland rainforest in a roadless, buffer zone area of the Tambopata National Reserve, this 30 bedroom eco-lodge offers classic, superior, and premium rooms with hot water, raised boardwalks, and a wellness center, as well as opportunities for wildlife observation from a canopy tower. Follow trails through protected primary rainforest and chances to see endangered Giant River Otters and other wildlife around an Oxbow Lake. Cultural, adventure and specific Peru tours are also available from this stunning location.

Refugio Amazonas, like Posada Amazonas, is a beautiful Tambopata eco-lodge built with traditional materials such as wood, clay and palm fronds. It features 32 classic and superior rooms all with hot water, set in 200 hectares of private rainforest reserve rich with Brazil Nut trees. Spend time relaxing at the canopy tower proving wonderful wildlife viewings near an oxbow lake and parrot clay licks. The children’s rainforest trail and soft adventure activities available here make this ecolodge an excellent choice for families.  There is something for everyone!

Tambopata Research Center is a remote eco-lodge which houses the research station for biologists studying one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. Situated several hours up the Tambopata River, it is located in the heart of the Tambopata Reserve and is miles away from any roads or habitations. Jaguars are occasionally seen during the trip to and from the lodge along with a good variety of other rainforest wildlife. 24 rooms between superior, suites and deluxe suites with private bathrooms. 300 metres of elevated rainforest walkways that connect the lobby with the new wing of room. These walkways are 3 metres above the ground, letting you face monkeys while crossing between brunches and watch peccaries in the ground without disturbing. Enjoy trails through many different microhabitats in this remote rainforest location including the largest accessible macaw clay lick in the world.
