    The entire experience was amazing. An excellent way to see the Tambopata river in the Amazon Rainforest in away that protects the environment and benefits local communities. Our guide Daniel was knowledgeable and really made an effort to make sure we saw animals including macaws, an eagle, monkeys and many others. He used his scope and our cell phones to take incredible pictures. The lodge hostess, Tonya, was welcoming and super helpful too. The food was good and they handled my dietary restrictions very nicely. You have to expect to be hot and maybe wet. There is not any AC or even fans but we could often catch a breeze in the open lobby. Beds are super comfy and have mosquito nets to protect you though in September we had few mosquitos and lots of noisy cicadas.

    I organized a family vacation of 18 people (ages 7 to 78) to Peru in late March 2022, which included three nights at the Tambopata Research Center. Our jungle experience was the highlight for a number of people in our group. Our guides tailored our adventures to fit the needs and abilities of our family. The accommodations were fantastic, and the food delicious (we're all vegetarian and they had multiple, unique, vegetarian options at every meal - the lunch on the boat ride on the first day was a favorite!!). This company also honored the monies I paid in 2020 (when our original trip was scheduled). If you want a classy jungle experience, this is the place. And don't miss out on the short nature programs before dinner....those are fascinating too.

    We spent 3N at Posada, it was the first day the lodge re-opened this year, so we were at a much lower head count (10ish) compared to capacity of around 70. Overall an amazing experience to be in the Amazon up close and personal with flora and fauna and animals you might otherwise only catch in documentaries. Our guide, Oscar, is from the local community and has worked for Rainforest Expeditions for 15+ years. His knowledge has great breadth and depth, with special bird expertise. Know that wildlife sightings are unpredictable so you can hope for the best but also come with no expectations. We got very lucky with sightings up close of the giant river otters (family of three), tons of cool birds, endless macaws, squirrel, howler and other monkeys, lots of spectacled and one black Damian, many cappi barra, tarantulas, and the highlight was probably the night walks when we saw wandering spider, lots of cool frogs, and a very rare 4 meter bushmaster snake (the most venomous and aggressive snake in south America!). The lodge rooms are indeed rustic chic, love the hot showers and biodegradable shower products great quality. Open air (no net) direct to the forest on one side, and also high but open wall to your neighbors. So hopefully you aren't too shy! And you're in the forest, so there are bugs that just appear. Definitely being big spray and binoculars. Meal times are very specific, food was fantastic and fresh, they put out snacks and fresh juices in between. Didn't try the messages as they seemed a but pricey. Rainforest expeditions boasts that 75% of proceeds are back into the community, it's a well oiled machine, and a fantastic way to experience the raw, wild abundance of the Amazon rain forest.

    Great experience to see the Tambopata National Reserve, but our guide wasn't the friendliest, and didn't take misunderstandings well even though I'm sure a language barrier is a frequent obstacle as a guide. And after hearing from other travelers to TRC, it does sound like we got a lesser experience. But I would still recommend Rainforest Expeditions. All the other staff was so welcoming and informative.

    Fantastic guides, fantastic tour group. Can’t say enough about our experience with Rainforest Expeditions. Our guides, Lucy, Uriel, and Oscar, were absolutely wonderful — professional, incredibly informative, kind, funny. Great people, great guides! We had the privilege of seeing so much wildlife including giant river otters, macaws, piranhas, and so much more. Would definitely recommend Rainforest Expeditions to anyone.
