We have been lodging tourists and researchers since 1989, watching the symbiosis between conscientious quality ecotours and scientific research come to life. with the purpose of combining providing authentic educational experiences that support the conservation of the areas where we operate.The ecolodge is part of a 3.7 million acre conservation unit in southeastern Amazonian Peru created in 1990 by the national government working in partnership with local grassroots and international conservation organizations. This reserve protects the biological diversity of the entire watersheds of the Tavara and the Candamo Rivers and most of the watershed of the Tambopata River.
The declaration and the design of the reserve includes an underlying philosophy of sustainable development and conservation of forest resources. The project protects habitats ranging from the Andean highlands around the rivers' headwaters through some of the last remaining intact cloud forests to the lowland rainforests of the Amazon basin. Over 1,300 bird species (including 32 parrot species - 10% of the world's total), 200 mammal species, 90 frog species, 1,200 butterfly species and 10,000 species of higher plants are protected within this reserve.
The world's largest known mineral clay lick, where hundreds of parrots and macaws of up to 15 species congregate daily to ingest the detoxifying clay, is also within the reserve, less than 500 meters from the lodge. Adjacent the northwestern corner of the reserve is the Community of Infierno, adding its 10,000 hectares of communally-owned and managed tropical rain forests to the Reserved Zone's.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
