TRC is an incredible place to stay and get to know the rainforest. The lodging is spartan but very comfortable, and helps you experience the rainforest in a close and ecologically sensitive way! I tell everyone to go there, the price can't be beat compared to the overpriced hotels tourists normally stay at in cities. The boat rides are beautiful... more

This was my first expedition with Earthwatch Expeditions and organized by Rainforest Expeditions. It surpassed all I had hoped for. The guides were knowledgable and very professional while being very friendly and personable. They tried to make sure we all got to see as much wildlife as possible and also included tidbits about the flora and the amazing insects and... more

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 12-day adventure at the Tambopata Research Center. By booking the flight and accomodations ourselves through Rainforest Expeditions, the two of us had our own private guide (and saved a lot of money). Our versatile guide met us at the Puerto Maldonado Airport, accompanied us upriver, gave us our 4:00 a.m. wake up call... more

Once again my hubby and I were lucky enough to get off the beaten track. We had spoken to other travelers in Cuzco who had warned about the heat and humidity in the rainforest of Peru. So when we were met at the gate at the airport by our guide . . . and he was wearing a winter ski... more

Everything about our stay at Tambopata Research Center was excellent! Travelling several hours down the river was worth it for the seemingly untouched rainforest. Our guide (Augusto--numero uno!) was great, adjusting our itinerary to our preferences and overseeing our entire experience. All of the guides were helpful, not just the one assigned to our group of four. The staff at... more

Absolutely wonderful! Quiet and serene, long winding trails, packed with wildlife of all kinds, researchers with great stories, excellent delicious food, comfortable beds, great rooms! Ok, you have to take cold showers, but after a hot day of hiking its not that bad! Hiking not enough? Then go fishing for pirahna, swim in the Amazon, kayak in the amazon, head... more

We booked a 6-day visit to TRC through their website. Definitely do the longer trip--because you get a single guide for your party , from arrival at the airport, to departure. If you go through an organized tour company, you'll be stuck in a group of 20 people, and see very little in the rainforest. Outside tour companies typically go... more

This lodge lies way down the Tambopata river, about 5.5 hours upstream. After arriving, anticipate a walk through a muddy trail to the lodge, about 10 minutes. The lodge is a thatched roof structure raised off the jungle floor by about 5 feet throughout. Being deep within the rain forest, I expected lots of flying bugs and heat, but I... more
