How To Choose A Tambopata Tour In Peru

Once you’ve decided that you want to visit the diverse region of the Tambopata Jungle, now it’s time to pick the right tour for you.

We can find numerous tours available both online and within the different agencies around Puerto Maldonado, so it’s important to know how these can differ and what you should expect from a rainforest tour here.

In this guide we’ll explore the different kinds of tours available for Tambopata, as well as how you can choose the right jungle tour for you.

How To Choose A Tambopata Tour In Peru

One of the most important factors to keep in mind is the duration of a Tambopata rainforest tour. Usually the shorter the tour, the less far you’ll be able to travel into the jungle from the city. This means it can be more difficult to spot rare animals and get away from the crowds on the very short tours. 

Those who are looking to see multiple ecosystems such as the Collpa Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick and Sandoval Lake will also need a longer tour. This is because these areas can take a long time to get to by canoe, and you’ll need some time to rest overnight in-between activities.

You’ll also want to factor in the price of a tour. Usually, cheaper tours will be shared experiences with a large group, where you’ll stay in very basic accommodation. You’ll find private tours are smaller, which are also both personalized and customisable. Whilst these tours are more expensive, you will be staying in a more comfortable jungle lodge along with better food and service.
