Rainforest Expeditions are pioneers in responsible tourism, and have led from the front with their conservation efforts in the Peruvian Amazon. They stand as a beacon of responsible tourism, inviting eco-conscious explorers to experience the wonders of the Amazon while leaving a positive impact on this vital ecosystem.
Their three eco lodges: Posada Amazonas, Refugio Amazonas, and Tambopata Research Center each serve as gateways to the heart of the Amazon. With their expert guides and commitment to environmental education, guests of Rainforest Expeditions not only embark on an unforgettable adventure but also contribute directly to the protection of the Amazon rainforest while supporting local communities.
