Explore the heart of the Tambopata National Reserve and actively participate in the conservation of its forests through citizen science on this Amazon ecolodge in Peru.

Our beloved Tambopata Research Center is located within the Tambopata National Reserve in front of the Bahuaja Sonene National Park in Madre de Dios, PERU, making it one of the most remote lodges in South America! The lodge's pristine location means that it's surrounded by the best wildlife the Peruvian Amazon jungle has to offer, and you will be able to discover it throughout our unique explorations.

The most amazing way to learn and experience real life bio diversity, wildlife and natural eco systems

The Amazon rainforest harbors more biodiversity than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. However, it is also one of the least explored parts of our planet.

Fortunately, technology has provided a way to obtain a bird’s eye view of the rainforest canopy without risking life and limb: using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or in everyday parlance: a drone.

One of Wired Amazon's three cornerstone projects, Aerobotany is geared towards harnessing the enormous potential of new technology to answer age-old questions on rainforest ecology.

Aerobotany combines the innovative use of mini-drones and online citizen science to remotely monitor the rainforest canopy and develop a deeper understanding of the life cycles of Amazonian flora.

At Tambopata Macaw Project our objective is to contribute to the reduction of threats to the conservation of macaws (Ara macao, Ara chloropterus and Ara arauna) in the Madre de Dios Region. Macaws are the ambassadors of the Amazon and biodiversity conservation.

Explore the scientific framework of the Tambopata Macaw Project through the NEW study: Temporal Dynamics of Parental Behavior and Nest Use in Ara chloropterus and Ara macao at an Artificial Nest Box in Peru. By analyzing temporal variation in reproductive behavior, the study provides robust evidence to inform long term conservation strategies and nest management practices in the Peruvian Amazon.

There are around 2 million species of insects described. But there are 10 to 20 million that are still to be discovered. With an estimated 524 kilometers of Amazon rainforests that are lost every day, there are thousands of species that are lost without being known.

We are discovering new species with the help of citizen scientists to get deeper into the biodiversity of the Amazon, learn more about our planet and gain an understanding of the different species and environments riddled in the Amazon.

Team up with our experts in search of new species and get a chance to name a species yourself! Let’s increase global bio-literacy - one discovery at a time.

In some parts of the Amazon, deforestation, climate change, illegal hunting, and environmental contamination have condemned 51 species to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

In Madre de Dios - Peru, the AmazonCam with hundred of citizen scientists are helping to further our knowledge of all wildlife in Tambopata, one immediate goal is to determine the jaguar population in the Tambopata National Reserve.

Pictures taken through the camera traps that participants in citizen science set during rainforest tours every year contribute to this mission greatly.

We have one of South America’s primary wild primate research centers, with multiple groups of all eight species on the Tambopata River, all habituated through regular contact with visitors and scientists over the last 25 years.

In the 8 primates project, we use behavioral follows and bioacoustics to categorize the range of vocalizations of all eight monkey species at Tambopata.

We are developing extensive libraries of calls for all monkey species and are using these to detect monkeys and establish a monitoring program with local people in the wider forests of Peru. We need participants of all levels to add to our growing data

The Wired Amazon program is an encouraging initiative that collects cutting-edge science projects designed and implemented by Rainforest Expeditions in Tambopata - Peru.

The main objective is to make a positive impact on the national protected areas around safeguarding the integrity of the ecosystems and producing economic benefits for local communities looking for conservation through ecotourism in the Amazon rainforest of Tambopata.

Betting on today's technology, Wired Amazon raises awareness and spreads the importance of the Amazonian tropical forest and the urgency of its conservation and preservation with the help of citizen scientists from all over the world.

Immersive Experiences

Operating three jungle ecolodges in the Tambopata National Reserve, our expeditions offer immersion in nature as well as a cultural exchange in the Peruvian Amazon aimed at providing a comprehensive experience of the rainforest.Peru.
