If you can afford the extra time to make it out to TRC, it is absolutely worth the trip. I have stayed at 6 of the lodges in the area and this is by far the best experience available. The scenery is spectacular and you will see the most wildlife because it is so deep in the reserve. Keep an... More

We spent 4 nights and 5 days with Rainforest Expeditions. We had two nights at the TRC and had a great time. The accommodations were comfortable and service exceptional. We got used to no doors or glassed in windows, and the sounds of the rainforest. Augustus the manager was very friendly and did everything possible to make our stay memorable.... More

I stayed on the 4 night package with 2 nights at TRC and 2 nights at Refugio. I had a fantastic time with my 2 guides Pedro and Jaime. I was lucky to see a jaguar aswell as countless macaw, parrot, monkeys, tarantula, piranha and hawks. I loved the open fronted nature of the rooms which served to bring alive... More

We had a terrific time at Tombopata. Our guide Daniel was great. We had our 9 year old daughter with us and he was wonderful with her. We lucked up and had no rain, not a drop for 5 days. If you plan on coming with kids I highly recommend him. That said, all the guides were great. We laughed... More

I wanted to take a break from my typical daily routine and immerse myself in nature, and this is exactly what I found at the Tambopata Research Center. I stayed there for a week in March and it ended up being my favourite experience in South America. From the very start Rainforest Expeditions was extremely helpful and all of my... More

I stayed at TRC for three nights, and had an absolutely amazing experience. My guide, Cesar, was phenomenal. His excitement for bird-watching was contagious, and I was amazed at what he was able to spot in the midst of the jungle. Without such a great guide, I would have seen little to nothing. With Cesar, I was able to see... More

This Is the best of Peru and my best experience in south America. Even though it's a bit expensive for a young student like me, I think it's a great investment. What I experienced in TRC changed my life, the nature, the guides, food, everything was just amazing! Totally recommended. More

The Amazon was at the top of my bucket list, and after being there, I want to go back again! The fantastic reviews on Rainforest Expeditions on TripAdvisor are not overrated. We went for the 5 night 4 day package, staying at Tambopata Research Centre for 2 nights, my only resent is that we didn't stay for longer. Fernando was... More

Tambopata Research Center is the premier spot for Macaw observation. No other Collpa compares to the Collpa Colorado (Collpas are the clay licks by the way). During our trip we observed 4 species of Macaws at the same time (Ara ararauna, Ara macao, Ara chloroptera, Primolius couloni) and countless Amazon parrots and parakeets. The best time to travel is starting... More

If you are interested in really seeing wildlife and removing yourself from the civilized world, this is a truly civilized way to do it. Visit TRC for at least three nights in order to see the most animals and really sink into that world. Oscar was my guide and he was completely knowledgeable about every critter and plant. He grew...
