Description
Venture further into the Peruvian Amazon! Travel first to the Refugio Amazonas Lodge, just outside the Tambopata National Reserve. Canoe around a nearby lake to look for wildlife like giant otters and hoatzin, before heading deeper into the jungle and the Tambopata Research Centre. Far from human habitation, the centre is unrivalled in its access to pristine Amazonian forests, including one of the world's most dazzling wildlife gatherings: the world's largest macaw clay lick!
