Founded in 1975, it was one of the first in Peru to offer visitors the chance to experience the rainforest at first-hand; to this day, Explorer´s Inn Tambopata Ecolodge continues to offer outstanding opportunities to see Amazonian wildlife, being located inside the Tambopata National Reserve, regarded by some scientists as the most biodiverse place on Earth. World records in bird, butterfly and dragonfly biodiversity are among the marks set in the rainforest immediately around the lodge.

3Tambopata National Reserve
We wake early to visit the parrot claylick, which is a 40 minutes walk from the lodge. A claylick is an exposed area of clay with higher concentrations of salts and other important minerals, where parrot species converge to eat. In our case this is a small wall close to the river, allowing observation of various species of parrots and parakeets which you can see eating the clay. We will then return to the lodge walking one of our trails, where if we are lucky, we may see other animals in their natural habitat. After this activity we return to the Lodge, to have breakfast and check out.
