Amazon Lodge Tambopata

This was an excellent choice for our three days in the Amazon! They really know how to give you a great experience without breaking the bank. I was a little worried based off previous reviews, but my expectations were blown away. Right from arrival we were met with friendly staff members. I was worried about the food situation based on past reviews saying there was not enough, but we really had more than enough and were served three course meals throughout our stay. ||Our guides Sergio and José were both absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond for us. One great thing about this place is that it is less known than other tour options in the area, so we did all of our activities with only one other group of travellers, making 4 of us in total. It made for such a peaceful experience and made us feel lucky when we saw boats full of 10-20 travellers from other lodges go past us on the river. ||Definitely book the private cabins for a more peaceful experience and to have your own bathroom/shower. There was strong wifi and electricity from 7am-9pm each day.||Overall, this tour is so cheap compared to other operators, yet it does not feel like the quality is lacking. Excellent tour, excellent staff, and excellent value for money.

I had a really good experience despite some inconveniences. I did the “Macaw Tours 5 days and 4 nights”. Originally I had booked the slightly cheaper “Camping, expedition 5 days / 4 nights”. But upon arriving at the main office I was told that it wasn’t possible to do the tour for only one person and I was therefore upgraded to this tour. I did a lot of activities and the guides were generally very good at spotting animals. Efrain was very enthusiastic and I could really tell he enjoyed his job. Santos was also amazing and really wanted us to get the very best experience. I had great fishing experience with Bastian. He was just as thrilled as me when I actually caught some fish in the river. The bad part being there was parts of the itinerary which were just skipped and couldn’t be done because of planning. And not all guides were equally good at English. But then again I did some extra activities instead and the guides tried their best to make me get the best experience. Overall a really great tour ad something I would recommend.

We spent 3 unforgettable days at Amazon Lodge Tambopata with friends, and it was hands down one of the best nature getaways we’ve had. From the moment we arrived by boat, we We spent 3 incredible days at Amazon Lodge Tambopata with friends, and it was one of the most healing and enriching experiences we’ve had. The lodge is beautifully located in the heart of the jungle - peaceful, remote, and alive with the sounds of birds and wildlife, day and night. The meals were delicious, freshly prepared and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Our guides made the experience truly memorable. Sergio met us on day one and took us to Monkey Island, where we saw monkeys in their natural habitat. That night, he led us on a cayman-spotting adventure - exciting and memorable! Throughout our stay, Sergio was helpful, kind, and always ready to assist or share insights about the jungle. Santos guided us on a full-day hike and canoe trip to Lake Sandoval, sharing fascinating knowledge about the plants, birds, and animals we encountered. He also took us on a night walk, revealing the amazing nocturnal life of the rainforest. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, recharge and experience the Amazon authentically, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Tambopata Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, I'm really grateful for my time here. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the food is delicious, there's beautiful nature walks to do, and you can watch the sunset from the river out front. The owner, Abed is a great person and he and Shaman Victor offer a very authentic and rustic Ayahuasca ceremony. My favourite thing about Tambopata was definitely the friendly staff, they're so welcoming and fun and kind. Thanks for having me x

My partner and I spent two nights in March 2025 at the Amazon Lodge Tambopata. We had a Combo-Tour where we stayed the first night of our 3D/3N itinerary at a different lodge. At arrival we were warmly welcomed by Sergio and got to know the only other two guests at this time during the first activity: a Caiman search in the evening. After dinner we had a sound healing ceremony guided by Sergio together with the two Spanish guests. The next day we had a trip planned to the Sandoval Lake and although the weather was not so nice in the beginning, we saw a lot of wildlife like the Giant otters (four of the group), bats, caimans, squirl monkeys and many different birds. We were super happy with that especially that we got to see the otters. Our great guide Bastian really tried to make this a special experience. In the evening, after talking to Sergio where he explained us everything, we had the Ayahuasca ceremony guided by Shaman Master Victor and with Sergio as “Shaman in training”. It was an extraordinary unique experience where we could really connect with our inner selves. The next morning, we made a walk through the jungle with Sergio and a new guest from China. Sergio explained us a lot about jungle plants and even though we had made several jungle walks before, this one felt very special. After the ceremony we really felt the connection to nature more intense than ever. The accommodation is like jungle lodges usually are pretty basic and the food was good except the first evening. There is no Wifi in the rooms but in the common area where you eat it’s good. We had a great time and would highly recommend it. Sergio is a truly wonderful person with an exceptional positive vibe, and he speaks perfect English.

We had a fabulous time here in February 20-23rd 2025. Just wanted to thank everyone for a memorable stay especially Rollin our fantastic guide and Robinson who drove the boat. The rooms are basic but adequate. The food is excellent and the staff are so friendly. Don’t forget insect repellent The excursions were so much fun and we saw loads of different monkeys, river otters, sloth, cayman, pirrahna, tarantulas.The parrot salt lick was a highlight. Best regards to Rollin, you are the best guide Teena and Malcolm ( England)

Extremely negative experience at this location, management was difficult to work with and did not communicate changes to our schedule clearly and on time. Cancelled our tour to Yakumama, but luckily, we were able to find a different tour company who was able to schedule a tour for us the same day on our last day at Puerto Maldonado. Tours were disorganized and times are not communicated to you until the night before, and often with incorrect information. For example, we were told to be by the pier by 2:30 am, but the boat driver did not wake up and greet us until much later. The next day, we were told to meet a guide at 5:20am, but the guide told us that he had been waiting for us since 5am. Similar experience by other guests who we talked to. Tour guides were amazing. Would recommend staying at other places or looking into other tour companies in the area.

Booked an ayahuasca experience here. The guide Abel was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the experience. Place was neat with really good food and options for tours. Totally recommend for anybody looking to get lost in the Amazon.
