Fodor's Expert Review Tambopata Research Center

In the heart of the Tambopata National Reserve, this remote, rustic lodge is one of the best places in Peru to experience the wildlife and diversity of the Amazon rainforest. You can expect to see dozens of bird species, several kinds of monkeys, peccaries (wild pigs), and, if lucky, a jaguar or puma. All rooms have private bathrooms and electricity, at least part of the day; some have Wi-Fi. Due to the distance, stays here are combined with overnights at the Refugio Amazonas on four- or five-night tours.
