“So much fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

We were in Peru for our honeymoon and spent 1 night at the Refugio and 2 nights at TRC. Prepare yourself for a long ride up to TRC, but it will be worth it. We saw Red Howler monkeys, kapybaras and all kinds of birds on our boat ride. Our guide Cesar was awesome! He was friendly, knowledgeable about everything... More

“Expect the Unexpected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

Expect the unexpected! We used Adventure Life to schedule our trip to the Tambopata Research Center as they easily scheduled our flights and the 2 extra days in Lima. Great job Erin and Sullivan! We chose the 5 day 6 night adventure with the first night at Refugio Amazonas and the remainder at TRC. I have to say our trip... More

“We didn't want to leave”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2013

We spent 4 nights on the Tambopata River, the first at Refugio Amazonias and then 5 hours further upstream at TRC. We had a wonderful time roaming around the jungle in gum boots provided by TRC with our wonderful guide Delford who delighted in finding all manner of wildlife for us to see from small insects to frogs, monkeys, birds...

“Very Disappointing compared with Refugio Amazonas”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2013

It may be highly rated, but our three nights there were very disappointing. The food was tasteless, poorly presented and boring. Breakfasts were only marginally better. The cook (was there one?) definitely needs to go back to school. Bar service was poor (no Pisco Sour because of lack of ice). Lodge ran out of gas so cold showers only. Forget... More

“The Most Remote Ecolodge in South America”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013

TRC is located another 5 hours upstream from Refugio Amazonas (another Rainforest Expeditions lodge). I highly recommend a stay at TRC if you are making a trip to the Amazon. Actually, I URGE you to go! To my knowledge, it is the only lodge located past the second control point. This is important, because there are no economical land activities... More

“Amazing TRC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013

Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff. Relaxed and exciting living close to nature. Very good food. We saw different types of rainforest, birds (69 species), animals and insects, we also experienced heavy rain in the rainforest. The entire stay at TRC was amazing, it was an experience we will not forget.

“Didn't want it to end!”

Tambopata Research Center is the place to go! We stayed there for the 5D/4N package (actually the first night was at Posadas Amazonas) and it was amazing! Even though it is the furthest lodge upstream, the accommodations and food were great. We still don’t know how they cook such great meals in such an isolated area. All of the people... More

We were met at Peurto Maldonado airport by our guide Eder, and bused off to RE headquarters (5 minutes away) where we were given a cold drink and a chance to repack and leave unwanted baggage before we headed upstream....

LOVED IT!!! After about a 2+hour boat ride from Refugio we arrived at TRC. Whilst on the river we saw lots of wildlife and many beautiful birds. The guides were always doing their best to spot wildlife along the way. Once we arrived at TRC the boat/porters took our luggage to our rooms. It's about a 10+ minute walk to... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Tambopata Research Center (TRC) is a spartan yet comfortable 18 bedroom lodge. Because of its remote location in 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. It is located in a half hectare clearing in the middle of the uninhabited portion of the Tambopata National Reserve, less than a kilometer from the world's largest and most diverse macaw claylick. ... more   less
