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)

Visit these special portions of river bank while Macaws and parrots make a raucous and colorful spectacle which inspired a National Geographic cover story.

  • 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.
