| The tropical forest surrounding the Tambopata River, with its amazing biodiversity, is considered to be a privileged spot for wildlife observation. This pristine jungle offers the visitor an incredible variety of activities, such as treks through primary forests, or canoe rides on oxbow lakes to observe nature. We must mention the biggest “Collpa” (lick) of macaws in the world, and also the opportunity to sight giant otters, specie currently near extinction. All these wonders attract tourists, scientists and photographers of the wildlife. Tambopata is the ideal place for ecotourism lovers and for those that desire to be in contact with nature in the Amazon and do not have much time to spare. |
