I joined the Tambopata Tour with Wild Watch Peru in October 2024, guided by Carlos. This two-day journey was truly unforgettable. Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest’s biodiversity, making the experience both educational and engaging. The tour was well-organized, allowing us to see amazing wildlife like macaws, monkeys, and even capibaras. Wild Watch Peru’s commitment to sustainable tourism was evident throughout the trip, adding to the overall satisfaction of the adventure. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the pristine beauty of the Peruvian rainforest.
