Myself and my partner went on the 4 day Tambopata tour from Puerto Maldonado and had the most amazing time! The staff from Wild Watch Peru were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour is well worth doing, I only wish we could have stayed longer. Our stay in the rainforest was unforgettable. Everything from the wildlife to the accomodation to the hospitality and expertise of the staff was very impressive. We felt at home in the lodge and were treated very very well. We saw a great variety of wildlife including monkeys, macaws, toucans, butterflies, hummingbirds, caimans and capybaras to name a few. We were able to see so many animals in large part due to the skill of our guide Jorge in spotting (and sometimes just by hearing) the animals.

We had a wonderful time and enjoy our trip to Amazon lodge. The activity was interesting, we were surprised by how busy we were all the time. The clay lick visit is a highlight of the trip, although the weather wasn't the best. The food was delicious too. Our cabin was spacious and private. Especially, we like our guide Jesus, who is a very knowledgeable, funny, intelligent, and motivated guy. Highly recommend!

From beginning to end this tour is amazing. Luis was super helpful from my first email until we got to Tambopata, He organized our tour to exactly what we wanted to see and everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. Our guide, Ricardo was the man. He knew about every single animal we saw and was amazing at spotting them. I don't think we'd have seen 1/4 of what we did if it hadn't been for his keen eye. You can tell he loves wildlife and the area. It was by far the best part of our trip to Peru

I highly ecommend this tour operator! Truly experienced guides and experts finding elusive animals, knowing every bird by song, flight pattern or sight and by finding you the big stuff, Cayman, Deer, Giant Otters, Monkeys and Capybaras to name but a few. The hikes were fun. The lodging was perfect and the food varied and delicious. I wish that I could have gone on a longer trip.
