Tambopata Macaw Project
Just a 10-minute walk from the lodge, you’ll discover one of the most innovative conservation initiatives in the Amazon: a full-scale replica of the artificial nests developed by the Tambopata Macaw Project. This experience will give you an up-close look at how decades of scientific research have transformed a seemingly simple structure into a powerful tool for protecting macaws.
During the activity, you’ll explore the interior of the nest and learn how every detail of its design—from its depth and materials to its integrated monitoring systems—contributes to creating a safe environment for the chicks’ development. Our guides will share the stories, challenges, and discoveries that have helped refine this technology, revealing the vital role it plays in the recovery of wild populations.
Discover conservation in action: Beyond simply observing nature, you’ll have the opportunity to understand how real solutions are developed and implemented to protect Amazonian wildlife. You’ll get a firsthand look at the scientific work that supports conservation efforts in Tambopata.
Explore the inside of a nest like never before: The life-size replica will allow you to observe details impossible to see in the wild without disturbing the birds. You’ll understand how macaws use these spaces and how researchers monitor every stage of their development.
Connect with the science in the middle of the forest: This activity transforms years of research into an accessible and fascinating experience. You’ll discover how observation, innovation, and fieldwork come together to help macaws continue to thrive in the Peruvian Amazon.
