Tambopata National Reserve

The Tambopata National Reserve is a 275,000-hectare conservation unit created by the Peruvian government in 1990 to protect the watersheds of the Tambopata and Candamo rivers. It’s adjacent to the massive 1 million hectare Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. To get there you must fly to Puerto Maldonado from Lima or Cusco on daily commercial flights lasting 45 or 90 minutes respectively.

Tambopata Reserve and its adjacent national park protect some of the last untouched lowland and premontane tropical humid forests in the Amazon. This area of pristine forest is larger than the state of Connecticut and contains 1300 bird species, 32 parrot species (10% of the world's total), 200 mammal species, 1200 butterfly species and over 10,000 species of vascular plants.
