The Tambopata Research Centre

The Tambopata Research Centre (TRC) is a fairly basic yet comfortable 18 bedroom lodge which was built fifteen years ago with the object of lodging tourists and researchers alike and of protecting the adjacent macaw clay lick.

The Tambopata Research Centre is an excellent headquarters for in depth explorations of the Amazonian nature and wildlife. The wildlife sightings are usually incredible here. This is due to the centre's 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 naturalists guides.

It is located in a half hectare clearing in the middle of the uninhabited portion of the Tambopata National Reserve, adjacent to the Bahuaja National Park and 500 metres from the world's largest macaw clay lick.

From Refugio Amazonas, the Tambopata Research Centre is a further four hours up river and then a few minutes walk from the river.
