Tambopata Research Center
is located in a one acre clearing located in the uninhabited
350,0000 acre core area (which includes the Bahuaja Sonene
National Park) of the Tambopata Candamo Reserved Zone in
southeastern Amazonian Peru, 500 meters from the world’s
largest macaw clay lick.
The
Tambopata Research Center is a spartan yet comfortable
13 bedroom lodge built by Rainforest Expeditions with
the object of lodging tourists and researchers alike and
of protecting the adjacent macaw clay lick. Because of
its remote location in a Connecticut-sized tract of uninhabited
wilderness housing stable populations of endangered wildlife,
the small scale of its infrastructure and operations and
the presence of researchers and naturalist guides, Tambopata
Research Center is an excellent headquarters for in depth
explorations of Amazonian nature and wildlife.
Tambopata Research Center is composed of
4 interconnected, thatch-roofed buildings designed after
traditional low-impact native architecture providing the
creature comforts necessary for enhancing your wilderness
experience without compromising authenticity. All buildings
and interconnecting passageways are raised on 4-foot stilts
built from palm trunks or hardwoods. The main building
is a 33 foot by 100 foot platform divided into 13 double
rooms.
In addition to our staff of young Peruvian
biologist guides who conduct on-site research, experienced
professional researchers conduct their studies at TRC,
sharing meals and quiet time with visitors.
The Tambopata Research Center offers its
guests beds with mosquito netting for your comfort as
well as unobstructed views of the forest from your room.
A separate bathroom provides four flush toilets and four
cold water showers. There is also a kitchen and dining/meeting
room for guest convenience.
