Tambopata Research Center
Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios, Peru · Rainforest Expeditions · Core Luxury
Rainforest Expeditions opened this 24-room lodge in 1989 as a Macaw Project research base, before Tambopata National Reserve was even gazetted, so the house sits inside the protected forest rather than the buffer. Guests walk 300 meters of canopy walkways, visit Colorado and Chuncho clay licks, and hear the nightly science talk. Open walls, primary forest.

History
Tambopata Research Center opened in 1989 as a research base for the Macaw Project, predating the national reserve's official designation, which is why it sits inside the protected area. Rainforest Expeditions still runs it as a 24-room lodge where guests join biologists on clay-lick walks and evening lectures.
The setting
The address sits in Jirón Tacna, Puerto Maldonado, Peru.
