Tambopata Research Center
The Tambopata Research Center has been enlarged to be a 24 bedroom lodge built with the object of lodging tourists and researchers alike and of protecting the adjacent macaw clay lick. Tambopata Research Center is an excellent place for in depth explorations of Amazonian nature and wildlife. There are no humans nearby, so sightings of monkeys, macaws and other large species become more frequent. Jaguars are sometimes seen near the river bank! (35% of visitor's saw one in 2017)
Designed using traditional, low impact native architecture to provide the creature comforts necessary for enhancing the wilderness experience without compromising its authenticity. Bedrooms open out onto the surrounding rainforest, allowing you to enjoy this diverse ecosystem even during downtime, with wild animals, including monkeys, often visible from the lodge. 
The Research Center offers:
  • Unobstructed view of forest ten meters from lodge perimeter maximizes wildlife encounter possibilities..
  • Buffet meals combine international, Peruvian and local cuisine. Vegetarians are welcome.
  • Guides are young, English-speaking Peruvian biologists who. Additionally, the presence of professional researchers at different times of the year may present ample opportunity to interact with them.
  • An experienced, well-trained staff hired at a 2.5:1 tourist to staff ratio assures excellent service throughout your stay.
  • Walks on trails are kept at a 6:1 tourist to guide ratio, increasing wildlife encounter opportunities.
  • Two Macaw Claylicks – A trip to the Tambopata Research Centre includes a visit to the two most important clay licks in the region: Colorado and Chuncho. Visit these special portions of river bank while Macaws and parrots make a raucous and colorful spectacle which inspired a National Geographic cover story.
  • 5 Distinct Pristine Habitats – Close and easy hikes to bamboo, flood plain, terra firma, palm and riverine rainforest habitats.
  • Herds of White Lipped Peccaries – Tambopata Research Centers location inside a huge and pristine rainforest means peccaries roam the area. Herds of one hundred or more individuals visit the lodge garden frequently to gather nuts from its palm trees.
  • Macaw Research and Conservation –Much groundbreaking macaw conservation research has been carried out from the TRC and you will likely have the chance during your stay to talk with macaw biologists, ecologists and other experts staying at the TRC while they do fieldwork.
  • Canopy Tower – During your stopover at Refugio Amazonas you will be able to climb the 30 meter scaffolding tower for expansive views of the rainforest and sightings of colorful toucans and parrots against a green backdrop
  • Did you know? 35% of boats headed to TRC saw Jaguars in 2017! This is because the Tambopata region hosts plenty of peccaries, tapirs, and other animals that are food for them. So you get plenty of jaguars. In addition, much of the Tambopata River between before TRC is strictly protected wilderness. Therefore, this is precisely where you see the big cats.
