Why Rainforest Expeditions?
Before letting you know why Rainforest Expeditions, we want to tell you who we are and how we do it.
Who We Are
Rainforest Expeditions is more than an ecotourism company. Since 1989, we’ve built deep, long-term partnerships with Amazonian communities, created pioneering conservation models, and hosted thousands of travelers in the heart of one of Earth’s most biodiverse regions. Every stay with us is part of something bigger: a movement to protect the forest, empower its people, and redefine meaningful travel.
How We’re Different
We understand that when planning your trip to the Amazon, you have options. What sets us apart isn’t just the location or the wildlife—it’s the depth of the experience and the impact your visit creates.
When you choose Rainforest Expeditions, you’re investing in:
-
Privileged access to the most wildlife-rich and remote areas of the Tambopata National Reserve.
-
Genuine community partnerships—our lodges aren’t just close to local communities; they’re co-managed with them.
-
A high-standard experience—immersive yet comfortable, designed to bring nature close without sacrificing quality.
-
Purpose-driven travel—your visit helps fund education, protect endangered species, support female leadership, and sustain scientific discovery.
Other options may offer a night in the rainforest. We offer a transformational journey—with authentic cultural encounters, abundant wildlife, and the chance to leave a lasting positive footprint.
