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

Ederson made the stay at the lodge amazing. I have had many guides around the world and Ederson may be the best I have had across 50 countries. The lodge itself is nice, and has electricity. Food is good, and you really feel immersed in the amazon staying there. Its great that a portion of the money goes back to conservation and research. Noteworthy details: Ederson, the "commander" is the best guide! Read all

Abbiamo scelto il Tambopata Research Center perché il nostro obbiettivo era di poter vedere le are da vicino. Ci siamo stati ad inizio dicembre scorso, l'inizio della stagione delle piogge, perciò abbiamo scelto di restare 5 notti/6 giorni, abbiamo messo in conto di perdere delle giornate a causa della pioggia e per la lontananza da Puerto Maldonado, per nostra fortuna durante il nostro soggiorno ha piovuto solo il giorno di partenza proprio quando arrivavamo in aeroporto. Non c'é stato un giorno che non ne abbiamo visto: are di diverse specie e colori e molti altri uccelli e primati, spettacolare l'incontro a pochi centimetri con un formichiere bianco, ma non il giaguaro. Consigliamo di pernottatre almeno 3 notti, il viaggio é molto lungo. Noi eravamo all'aeroporto di Lima già alle 8:00 di mattina e tra un volo in ritardo, uno spostamento in bus di ca. 45 minuti per arrivare al fiume, ed un trasferimento in barca veloce, siamo arrivati al lodge verso le 16:30. All'aeroporto ci ha accolto la nostra guida privata Alfred, che ci ha seguito per tutto il soggiorno, di giorno in giorno abbiamo deciso le escursioni da fare, ed Alfred si é rivelato essere una super guida, un occhio di falco per scoprire anche il più piccolo uccellino, con pazienza é riuscito a farci camminare chilometri nella giungla, ci ha spiegato molto sulla flora e fauna. Bravissimo a far video e foto con i nostri telefoni col suo binocolo e cavalletto che si portava sempre appresso, queste foto sono dei magnifici ricordi. TRC non é un hotel, é un centro di ricerca per le are, in mezzo ad una foresta ed a ore dal primo centro abitato, perciò non avevamo delle grandi aspettative ne sul cibo ne sull'alloggio Read all

This place is a treat!! Incredible flora & fauna, food and service - the staff is quite attentive. Interesting research, with lots of potential. Visiting the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest is a must do! Read all

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the Rainforest Expedition lodges (we went to TRC and Posada). Everything from the communications and planning upfront, to the transport and logistics worked totally smooth. The lodges themselves are beautiful and give you a great starting point for all the trips while you still get the comfort and amenities of a nice (sustainable) hotel. The main draw of course is the jungle and the activities. We were in awe of the diversity of the ecosystem there and the simply stunning nature. Our guide Victor did an exceptional job of giving us the full rainforest experience and went to great lengths to show us the best spots for wildlife. We really enjoyed our time with him! Absolutely stunning experience!! Read all

4 days, three nights at TRC exceeded our expectations. We had good weather and although the Macaws weren't active on the clay licks, we saw plenty and our guide (very lucky to have Juan Carlos for our group) got great wildlife images on our phones with his scope. Food was excellent and the pace of activities was very good. Comfort Room was good upgrade for the two of us - nice long walk on the jungle walkway with the birds and a spider monkey crashing overhead! Thanks to Monica Montes for arranging. Read all

The attention to detail by the staff really stood out. The food was excellent. The cleaning staff was tidy and great. Above all, our tour guide Juan Carlos Yatto was superb. I visited to do birdwatching and he helped us spot nearly 100 different species. I would highly recommend that any birdwatchers book Juan Carlos as their guide. I need to edit my photos still but attached are a few from my phone. Read all

Absolutely recomended! The place, the activities and the people are incredible. They also care about wild life and the enviroment, trying to leave in each person that lesson. The guides and the service personal were gently. This is an excellent way to learn and connect with nature. Read all

A Truly Unique and Wonderful Experience at Refugio Amazonas We had a wonderful stay at Refugio Amazonas — it was such a unique and memorable experience, truly allowing us to connect with nature. Seeing the macaws and other beautiful birds flying freely in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. The boat ride to the resort was a delightful experience in itself, offering stunning views of the rainforest and river. Once we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and hospitable staff who made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The food at the resort was amazingly fresh and delicious — every meal was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. Our accommodation was equally special; we slept in a room with an open wall and no windows, surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest. The bed was draped with a mosquito net, adding both comfort and charm to the experience. We even had lovely butterflies visiting our room — such a magical touch! Overall, our stay at Refugio Amazonas was peaceful, refreshing, and unforgettable. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories we’ll cherish forever. Read all

TRC certainly offers a very special and totally immersive Amazon jungle experience well worth the price. The lodge is very authentic and I really enjoyed the "no glass windows, let the forest enter the room" experience: I had a lovely tree-frog visitor on my bathroom door early one morning and bats coming and going at dusk, and of course the unforgettable soundscape. The staff were wonderful, particularly the manager Mary, and our guides, especially Timo, were super knowledgeable, friendly and very tech savvy (I am very grateful to Timo for his efforts at taking videos and pictures on our phones through the binocular lens with ultra fine precision!). The food was delicious, although on the last day lunch and dinner menu choices were less diverse (I stayed 3 nights). I thoroughly enjoyed the guided group tours, and you could join different groups depending on what you'd prefer to see on that day (we saw a lot of wildlife, but one has to remember that binoculars are essential - wild animals are exactly that - wild, they don't come close and are not at the beck and call for instagram pictures).That said, I did find not being able to take to any trail on my own without being cautioned about getting lost a bit restrictive. On my last day, while on a guided walk, we passed a beautiful spot near the river with a bench and a small football pitch (!) and I would have liked to have arrived there on my own, sat down for more than 5mins and observed the opposite bank for like an hour on my own - perhaps the jaguar would have come out or the capybaras! Giving visitors a small map with some of the trails marked would create a sense of personal adventure. having just done the 4 day Inca trail I also wanted to try the deep tissue massage to ease my overworked calf muscles, but this was a bit of a disappointment - way too light a touch, even after I asked the masseuse to go a bit stronger. I didn't feel much improvement after, just a fleeting spa treatment feeling. I booked my trip with Rainforest Expeditions and Monica was very helpful throughout advising me and explaining everything. Also a huge thanks to the smooth transfers from the Puerto Maldonado bus terminal to the Rainforest Expeditions HQ complex where I could get refreshed, and the lovely staff who called me a taxi to the centre of town and back so I could get a light breakfast before the bus & boat ride upriver. And on the last morning back to the airport. all in all a superb jungle experience. Read all

My girlfriend and I had an amazing 4 days and 3 nights at the Tambopata Research Center. The staff was incredible! They were always there to check in and make sure we were having a great time. They were like our personal guides, always ready to help us out. But the real star of the show was our tour guide, Jhonathan. If you’re planning a trip to the Amazon, I highly recommend opting in for the private guide when booking. Jhonathan worked our schedule around our interests and made sure we hit all the key things we wanted to see. He was so caring and attentive that we felt like we were hiking and having an adventure with a friend. If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable experience in the Amazon, Tambopata Research Center is the place to be Read all

Awesome choice to go with Rainforest expedition. We did Research Center and were happy we did. Great to be inside the preserve and deep down river. Communication before during and after was excellent. Food was very good. Lodge was clean staff friendly and guides very helpful. Activities allowed you to interact and experience nature. I would highly recommend. Read all
