This is the least populated territory in Peru, with only 600,000 people living in its 30,880 sq miles of jungle area. Gold panning on the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers, and the latex boom determined the foundation of the capital city of Puerto Maldonado, and today, the Madre de Dios River (the old Inca Antisuyo) is still what it has been for centuries, a virgin and frontier land full of mysteries. The Manu, Tambopata-Candamo and Pampas de Heath reserves cover 3,500,000 jungle hectares, 98% of which is virgin forest, making it one of the largest and richest biodiverse areas of the world, home to unique flora and fauna species. This includes 2,500 flower varieties, more than 1,000 birds, 900 butterfly species and more than 20 kinds of monkeys.
Best experiences
Hike through the Amazon at night
With over 60% of rainforest animals being nocturnal, the nighttime is an opportunity to spot wildlife that are difficult to see during the day. With the help of your native guide you will be led into the dark jungle listening out for movement around you.
Travel down the Tambopata River
The Tambopata National Reserve is one of the most biologically and ecologically intense places on the planet and much of that biodiversity can be admired whilst travelling along the great Tambopata River to your lodge in the southern Peruvian Amazon.
Canoe on the Oxbow Lake
With the use of motorised and paddle canoes, you can explore a lake teeming with caimans, bats, waterfowl and home to a family of giant otters. Take binoculars for an added experience whilst your guide navigates in search of the lake’s fauna.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
