This is a suggested itinerary. You have the flexibility to choose from the available activities each day upon arrival at the lodge, allowing you to create a perfect Amazon experience


Day 1: Welcome to the Amazon Adventure!


Arrive in Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios, after a one-hour road trip, we will take a peaceful one-hour boat ride along the Tambopata River, immersing ourselves in the heart of the private communal reserve of the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno.

Enjoy your first taste of Amazon cuisine while cruising along the river, leaving the city behind, and entering the lush jungle landscapes. Upon arriving at the riverbank, you will climb a staircase whose length varies with the season, followed by a short walk through the vibrant Amazon rainforest. This journey marks the beginning of your stay, surrounding you with the majesty of the Amazon.

Arrive at Posada Amazonas Lodge, a spacious ecolodge featuring a bar, massage center, and buffet service, located within a private concession owned by the Native Community of Infierno. In addition, Posada Amazonas is part now of the Wired Amazon program developing the Discovering New Species Project which you can be part of during your stay.


Settle into your 45-square-meter room, which includes a private bathroom and an open wall facing the forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature.


Your stay includes three meals daily, tea, coffee, guided excursions and activities, refreshments upon arrival, and transfers to and from the airport. Guides are assigned at a 10:1 ratio to ensure a personalized experience.




  • In the afternoon, join your group for a hike to the 40-meter Canopy Tower. A safe staircase runs through the center, leading you to platforms above the treetops, offering spectacular views of the vast forest and the Tambopata River below. Look out for toucans, parrots, and mixed-species canopy flocks.

  • Before dinner, enjoy a lecture to learn more about the incredible biodiversity and conservation efforts in the Amazon.


Day 2: Wildlife at Dawn and Medicinal Plants


Start early to take advantage of the cooler morning hours, when Amazon wildlife is most active. Although you’re on vacation, the early start is highly recommended for a truly rewarding experience.


Tambopata oxbow lake

Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake. Here you might see one of the big 5, the giant river otter.


Take a 30-minute boat ride followed by a 45-minute hike to Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake. Paddle around the lake on a catamaran, looking for the resident family of nine giant river otters (seen by 60% of visitors) and other lakeside wildlife such as caimans, hoatzins, and horned screamers.


Visit the Centro Ñape, a communal organization that produces medicines from forest plants. Walk along a trail that explains the medicinal and other uses of various selected plants.


Before dinner, attend another lecture focusing on different aspects of Amazon's unique ecosystem.


After dinner, enjoy a night walk. While nocturnal mammals are often active but rarely seen, frogs with unique shapes and sounds are easier to find, revealing their fascinating natural histories.



Day 3: Parrot Clay Licks and Community Insights


In the morning, visit the Parrot Clay Lick. From a blind just 20 meters away, watch as dozens of parrots and parakeets descend to ingest the clay from the riverbank, creating a spectacular display of color and activity.


Ceiba tree

The Ceiba Tree walk


Embark on a two-hour hike from Posada Amazonas, culminating in the shadow of a majestic giant Ceiba tree. Learn about the natural history of the rainforest and its principal species.


Visit a local farm in the community of Infierno, where the owner cultivates a wide variety of Amazonian crops. Discover how almost every plant and tree serves a unique purpose, reflecting the rich agricultural traditions of the region.


After dinner, participate in the Discovering New Species activity. Learn about ongoing research projects aimed at identifying and cataloging new species in the rainforest, and understand the importance of this work for global biodiversity.

Day 4: Farewell to the Amazon


As your Amazon adventure comes to an end, it's time to say goodbye. Your visit makes a direct contribution to the Native Community of Infierno's efforts to protect the Tambopata rainforest.


Return to Puerto Maldonado for your flight, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your journey in the Amazon.

This trip was the highlight of our travels through peru. The lodge was absolutely 5 stars for everything. The room, food, people. We had a private guide, Allen, who grew up locally and really had deep knowledge of the land, the history, and the variety of plant and animal species in the jungle. His knowledge and passion were invaluable to our experience. There are a variety of tour companies and lodges you can book to visit the Amazon, however, I would only recommend Rainforest Expeditions as they are truly connected to the community and offer high quality first class amazon experience!

We had a truly wonderful stay with Rainforest Expeditions. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, and our guide was fantastic — very knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest. We saw many animals, even from the boat, which made the experience unforgettable. Read all

I just spent 3 days here with my family. The research center surpassed all our expectations. I want to give a special shout out to Carlos who took such good care of us. He went above and beyond to make sure we werr comfortable. And he was always smiling. He made us feel so welcome. We had Erik as our guide who is so knowledgeable and experienced. We learned so much, saw so much wildlife. It really was a dream vacation. Thank you!! Read all

Chose this place to stay at the Amazon, as I heard it benefits the local indigenous community. Life changing experience. Oscar was an excellent guide! We saw so many wildlife! No 4th wall made it such an immersive jungle experience. Since they are eco friendly, there is no AC. It can get pretty hot depending on the season. So better to follow their guidance for clothing choices Read all

If you want to experience the Amazon in all its glory This is the place to come to Staff and guides were excellent Food was just incredible The forest walks were really interesting and informative Read all

If you are a birder, ask for Juan Carlos Yatto. He recognizes an astounding number of bird calls and can duplicate many of them. This place is magical, all I could have imagined. All the staff and scientists are incredible. The experience of a lifetime. Read all

Food was tasty and very varied Amazed that the chefs managed to get such variety in the middle of the Amazon Do not hesitate Book immediately you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended Read all

I can not say enough good things about my time at the Tambopata Research Center. Between the guides, the boat drivers, the chefs, the staff, the bartenders, the researchers, etc. Everyone was absolutely wonderful! If you are interested in viewing wildlife in the Amazon, this is the place for you! A special thank you to the maître d' Carlos who was so incredibly kind and hospitable and our guide Dino who was like a real life Indiana Jones. I can't wait to come back! Read all

An unforgettable, fully immersive jungle experience. Amazing how Tambopata Lodge delivers luxury touches in such a remote and rugged location. The food is fantastic, the staff incredible, and the wildlife sightings non-stop. The personalised itinerary and one-on-one guiding made the trip truly special—huge thanks to our guide Johan for sharing his passion and knowledge. The Macaw Project is inspiring, and it’s clear the lodge fully supports this important conservation work. Manager Brian was always kind, helpful. Well-done all involved. Read all

The most important fact we are grateful for is the true sense of understanding of the ecology of the Amazon the staff at Rainforest Expeditions (RFE) have shown us. RFE stands out for its stand against the pure, profit-motive initiatives many other tour operators do. We are very grateful to have had Carlos as our guide. Carlos is deeply dedicated, and is able to explain the nuances of the flora and fauna. The world today needs to act as one against the impact of climate change. RFE is one, bright shining light in this regard. Read all

We had a fabulous trip! The people were amazing, kind and very professional. The food was exceptionally good! The facilities are beautiful and well kept. We just loved our second time with Rainforest Expeditions and can't wait to go again!! Read all

Fantastic to be deep in the forest surrounded by incredible wildlife with our amazing guide Juan Carlos Yatto, who really knew his stuff! Also his photography skills meant that we could share our experience even better through his telescope using our phone cameras! We learned so much!! He went to extra lengths to find butterflies and moths for us along with so many different birds and monkeys. This was a travel highlight for us as experienced wildlife travellers. We loved our spacious room with no windows and open to more wildlife visitors but after 5 nights the bed could have been a little more comfortable. Luckily we had a second bed to use. Otherwise it was fantastic with hot water showers and fresh drinking water all the time. We were amazed at the variety of food on offer for breakfast, lunch and dinner and couldn’t believe they could have such a wonderful food offering in such a remote location. Even the wine and cocktails were great. I highly recommend spending the extra money and time getting to this location. We stayed at another lodge later which was closer to Puerto Maldonado and there was far less wildlife. Read all
