Wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys. spend the day walking jungle trails and paddling around oxbow lakes watching an array of wildlife, from the tiny tamarin monkeys leaping overhead to giant otters fishing in the lake. relax and watch the sun set over the Tambopata river with colorful macaws flying overhead.
Nestled within the 240,690ha Tambopata National Reserve -one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world lies Explorer's Inn Amazon rainforest lodge & research station. It was here that world records in bird, butterfly and dragonfly biodiversity have been set and to this day remains the best lodge on the Tambopata river for wildlife sightings.
Explorer's Inn was the first ecotourism lodge to be built in the region and is the only lodge situated fully within the boundary of the Tambopata National Reserve in the province of Madre-de-Dios. The lodge itself is located in a picturesque setting at the confluence of the La Torre and Tambopata rivers, 60 km upriver from Puerto Maldonado.
Within walking distance of our Amazon lodge lies Cocococha, a tranquil oxbow lake formerly part of the river Tambopata. The undisturbed and thriving ecosystem here means that the lake can support a family of giant river otters along with other endangered species such as black caimans. Bird life is also prolific; with a record breaking 620 species being recorded in the area surrounding Explorer's Inn, you will not cease to be amazed by the variety and colors, whether you are a professional birdwatcher or simply hold an interest in travel and adventure. Walking the extensive network of trails is an experience never to forget; encounters of the various monkey species are common, and you may encounter mammals such as peccaries, agoutis, anteaters, coatis and much more. Some lucky tourists have even caught a glimpse of the elusive Jaguar.
Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher or ecologist, or simply want to experience the Peruvian Amazon jungle and the wildlife it has to offer then Explorer's Inn Amazon rainforest lodge is the place for you.
