In the realm of the macaws - Tambopata, Peru

Luxurious adventure trip to the rainforest of the Amazon basin with a visit to the world's largest parrot salt licks

Discovering the secrets of the Amazon rainforest in Peru, immersing yourself in the fascinating nature far away from civilisation and experiencing the wonders of Peru's most biodiverse rainforest region in Tambopata National Park is the focus of this unique nature trip. Here, where the mighty jungle rivers Tambopata and Madre de Dios meet and ultimately flow into the Amazon, you travel by boat to the Tambopata nature reserve, far away from civilisation. The jungle lodge Refugio Amazonas and the research station with adjoining guest lodge Tambopata Research Centre provide the best conditions for successful nature observation. The fact that the Tambopata region is protected and characterised by jungle, wet savannah, rivers and lakes guarantees a biodiversity that is rarely found anywhere else in the world: more than 20,000 plant species, over a thousand species of butterflies, 43 species of ants and more than 1,300 bird species, including 32 species of parrots with the large macaws, are at home in the rainforests of southern Peru. We will show you the beauty of this fascinating diversity. The main focus is clearly on the macaws and other parrots and amazons. Giant otters, jaguars, tapirs and caimans are also at home here.

Join us on an extraordinary nature trip, where the magnificent animal sightings in the Amazon jungle are the motivation and reason for this journey into the rainforest. Nature observations are the absolute focus, as the lodges are not as luxurious as you may know and have experienced in other parts of the world, such as Africa.

"When I first heard from a National Geographic cover story that there was a place in the world that was home to the world's greatest diversity of parrots and, in particular, macaws, far from civilisation, I wanted to travel there once in my life. Many years later, it was now possible, because nature lovers also have the opportunity to be there, where for a long time only researchers and biologists had access."
