Refugio Amazonas

The Refugio Amazonas is a lodge built in traditional indigenous style, combining comfort with the rainforest experience.  

The lodge team welcomes you at the airport. Transfer to customs and health control in Puerto Maldonado. Boarding a small boat on the Tambopata River (20km) and arrival at the main Tambopata port, within the indigenous community. Transfer to the lodge by boat for a 2h30 river journey. Picnic lunch. Arrival at the lodge in the afternoon and check-in to your rooms. Welcome dinner and night outing to observe caimans. 

The program includes discovery of the Tambopata Reserve: canoe or catamaran ride around Tambopata Lake and exploration of aquatic wildlife, including caimans and giant otters. Visit to a neighboring farm and an ethnobotanical tour. Discovery of local flora and traditional medicine. Dawn visit to the Collpa de Aras Macaos, located a 20-minute walk from the Refugio Amazonas. This is when macaws are most active, so chances of seeing them are higher. Discovery of a mammal collpa where peccaries (a species of wild pig) can be observed. On-foot exploration of a Brazil nut reserve and time at the observation platform atop the 25-meter tower.
