About the Tambopata River
This conservation project is situated along the Tambopata River, located in the Madre de Dios region. This is also known as the Peruvian capital of biodiversity. The team works along the Tambopata River, an area that still holds many species of flora and fauna already extinct in other regions.
Location
On the banks of the Tambopata River, our reforestation centre sits in the buffer zone of the Tambopata National Reserve. The centre includes and is surrounded by large areas of primary rainforest, one of the world’s most biodiverse forests. We are 2.5 hours from regional capital Puerto Maldonado, a trip made by boat and car.
Free Time
Free time means enjoying walking forest trails, tasting new fruits, practicing your Spanish with the staff members, or visiting the mammal claylick. If you plan a longer stay, you can visit the nearest city of Puerto Maldonado and enjoy typical jungle town life and tasty local food. Peru is also known for the world wonder Machu Picchu.
