Why Tambopata Jungle Adventure Tours Are Ultimate Eco Travel Experience

Why Tambopata Jungle Adventure Tours Are Ultimate Eco Travel Experience

Tambopata is a spotlessly scenic slice of the Amazon rainforest far down in remote southeastern Peru, which despite having been surrounded by a delicately balanced ecosystem, remains one of the richest bio-diverse zones on the planet. Located far away and left undisturbed by mass tourism, Tambopata is a paradise of eco-travellers and people who love nature. The Tambopata Jungle Adventure tours provide an absorbing and lasting experience to allow everyone to be engulfed into the idea that there is beauty in being surrounded by nature and it is literally all around you. We at Amazon Trips Peru are specialists in offering Amazon eco- friendly expeditions that strike the perfect balance between adventure, comfort and conservation.

Why Tambopata Is a Global Biodiversity Hotspot

Tambopata belongs to the Tambopata National Reserve, a conservation zone extending to more than 1.3 million square decimetres. The ecosystem is a vibrant habitat to over 600 species of birds, 200 mammals, 1, 200 butterflies and to a wide variety and number of plant and insect species. Possibly, in the Tambopata Jungle Adventure tour, you may have a chance to see howler monkeys, jaguars, giant river otters, tapirs, sloths, and macaws, as well as these animals that live in the wild. This region is also a great eco destination in South America with its matchless biodiversity and it can even surpass the Galapagos and the Amazon in Brazil.

Sustainable Travel at Its Best

Eco-tourism in Tambopata is not an emerging phenomenon only but it is a lifestyle. All the points of the expedition are underpinned by cultural and environmental sensitivity. Our tours at Amazon Trips Peru are constructed accordingly on sustainability. We are also conscientious of transport, eco-accommodation, biodegradable resources and leaving-no-trace trekking principles. With a close collaboration with the local guides and the indigenous population we can also be assured that your travel provides an income to those people who inhabit and guard this rainforest. Our intention is not only to make each visitor go home with fantastic memories, but also to know more about the importance of conservation.

Your Jungle Base: The Tambopata Amazon Lodge

Your experience in the jungle gets another level when you stay in the Tambopata Amazon Lodge. The lodge is designed to match the surrounding forest since the natural materials used were locally obtained and the lodge runs on solar energy. It provides luxurious individual cabins, delicious food that is cooked using the local products, and incredible scenic views of the forest canopy. All rooms have mosquito nets, clean water, and other amenities that are eco-friendly. Whether you open your eyes in the morning to the melodies of tropical birds or you go to bed under the beats of the jungle, all the details of your stay are linked to the Amazon, in a real and responsible manner.

Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters on Every Tour

The awesome highlights of the Tambopata Jungle Adventure tours include viewing of the world famous macaw clay licks. There are parks which are frequented by hundreds of bright-colored macaws and parrots in the morning, — such as Colpa Colorado. When they come to feast on the clay that is rich in minerals along the banks of the rivers, the air is illuminated and vibrated in all the brilliance of colour and with all the loveliness of sound--a sight that nothing but the sight of the resurrection is ever likely to surpass. There are also other exciting wild life events like river otters showing up thru the oxbow lakes, caimans lying at the muddy lakesides, monkeys swinging on a canopy and giant butterflies floating between fragrant orchids.

Tranquility and Exploration on Lake Sandoval

One of the highlights of your journey will be a peaceful canoe ride on lake Sandoval that is a beautiful oxbow lake located in the reserve. The stretches of still waters mirror the towering trees on the bank and the extinguishing early morning mist renders the scene as dreamy. Look out over the hoatzins, herons, howler monkeys and even the endangered giant river otter. The lake is among the most favorable birdings and photographs in the Tambopata area. Even when paddling around quietly or even watching sunset reflections, Lake Sandoval is a peaceful retreat into the Amazon jungle.

Day and Night Jungle Walks

There is no better way to learn to be in relation with the jungle like walking its old trails. Day trips in the jungle bring out herbal flora, giant kapok tree, fungi and animal footprints. Our guides with Amazon Trips Peru will give you an idea of how the forest is a living pharmacy and many hidden creatures can be found there. As the night runs, another world takes over. During guided night-walks you can observe tree frogs, tarantulas, glowing insects and hear the strange calls of nocturnal birds. The night jungle is a secret, which is magic and the mandatory component of any eco-adventure.

A Birdwatcher’s Paradise from the Canopy

Scaling up the canopy tower is quite an experience that can hardly be rivalled by bird bum enthusiasts. Located high up above the ground, this viewing station gives you the finest view of the rainforest and enables you to view tropical birds such as toucans, the harpy eagles, tanagers, and even the parrots. Tambopata Jungle Adventure tours seem like fantasy to all the long adamant and smoking amateur and professional birdwatchers as far as more than 600 species of birds have been documented in the region. Tower early morning hours are usually the best sightings, because the roused jungle is filled up with the sounds of the orchestra of the birds.

Cultural Immersion with Indigenous Communities

Other than the beautiful sceneries, Tambopata has the locals or rather the indigenous people and their culture passionately revolves around the forest. In many of our tours, we also have respectful and enriching visits with those communities, where the traveler has the opportunity to know how they live, learn about their natural medicine, how they create their handcrafts and what they have learned to farm sustainably. Such interactions lead to mutual respect and save local culture. When you travel with Amazon Trips Peru, you would directly impact the cultural and economic health of such communities, and your journey will be more significant and constructive.

Best Time to Visit Tambopata

Tambopata is beautiful at any time of the year, albeit the tendency is to point to the dry season (May to October), as the most appropriate moment to travel. Paths get more passable and animals become more active and easily accessible. To get a more serene touch, visitors can venture into the wet season between November and April, which provides more scenic beauties, excludes crowds of tourists, and a more mysterious fairy-tale touch. There are plenty of rain showers, usually short lived, and the forest is even more alive. Touring Tambopata Jungle Adventure is highly exploratory at all seasons.

What to Pack for Your Jungle Expedition

A comfortable and safe way will be implemented by proper packing. We suggest light clothes that are long-sleeved, waterproof hiking boots, insect repellents, biodegradable toiletries, and reusable water bottles, binoculars, rain gears and flashlight, or headlamp to explore at night. Also do not forget a journal or a camera to record your unforgettable memories. Every traveller is given a detailed pre-departure guide given by our staff at Amazon Trips Peru so that he can prepare his/her eco-adventure.
