Tambopata Factsheet

Version PDF

WEATHER CONDITIONS

The lowland rain forests of the Tambopata lie far enough south of the Equator to provide a cooler, drier season between May and October, which also happens to be the high season. The general weather conditions, are warm and humid. In Tambopata the average daytime high temperature is between 25° and 31°C and the average nighttime low is between 16° and 22°C.
However, cold fronts from Argentina can sometimes sweep into southwestern Amazonia and reduce daytime temperatures to 9° C and the night time temperatures down to as low as 5° C. During the rainy season from November through to April, always be prepared for heavy rain that may continue for hours or even days.
Around 80% of the annual average rainfall of 2000mm occurs during this season.

WHAT TO BRING

We recommend that you bring good binoculars; a camera, light weight, light colored, long cotton pants; long sleeved light colored cotton shirts; underwear; absorbent socks; ankle-high hiking boots; sneakers; a powerful flashlight with batteries; a small toiletries bag; a water bottle; sun block lotion; sunglasses; a broad-brimmed hat; 100% waterproof clothing; insect repellent; yellow fever vaccination certificate; small denomination bills and a small daypack.

MEDICAL INFORMATION

Yellow fever vaccination is required for traveling into the Tambopata. It is necessary that you bring your yellow fever inoculation certificate to prove to the airport officials in Puerto Maldonado that you are vaccinated. Hwoever you are rarely requested for this information.
Leishmaniasis is present throughout the rain forests of southeastern Peru. It is a skin lesion caused by a protozoan transmitted by a certain species of biting fly. There is no vaccination against it but it is curable in every case. The selected cure, injections of pentavalent antimony (Glucantime), is uncomfortable. Leishmaniasis is also very easy to prevent by wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, and repellent onexposed
skin at all times, as well as sleeping under mosquito nets. If you are interested in receiving complete information on leishmaniasis, please do not hesitate to contact us before your trip. For precautions against malaria consult your physician or a specialist in tropical medicine. The Tambopata is a non –malarial risk zone. It is vital that persons with medical problems or special dietary requirements make this known to us before departure.

COMMUNICATIONS

Most of the lodges in the Tambopata Research Center are in daily radio contact with Puerto Maldonado but there are a few that are too isolated for contact. In some cases, cellular phones will have a signal when standing on the top of any one canopy tower in the Tambopata.

PASSPORTS, MONEY, AIR TICKETS

You will need your passport upon arrival at Puerto Maldonado in the event that the authorities may want tocheck tourist entry requirements as the local airport is officially an international airport. Upon arrival, you will be met by your representative who will collect your domestic air tickets to confirm your return flights. If you have not paid for the park entry fee ($30) this will also be collected. (This fee is sometimes included in the price of your trip). At the end of the trip, your representative will collect cash from you to pay for the airport tax.

MEALS

All meals are provided during the trip. Meals consist of soup or appetizers, salad, main course, dessert,and coffee or tea. All fresh fruits and salads are thoroughly disinfected before serving. We also provide at all times unlimited amounts of boiled, cooled drinking water. If any visitor has special dietary requirements, we are happy to make individual arrangements, but please notify us prior to the start of your tour.

ACCOMMODATION

Many of the lodges are loacted on the banks of the Tambopata River in the grounds of the Community, adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve. They are normally built of traditional native materials (wood, palm fronds, wild cane and clay) and architecture and modern day eco-lodge technology. The lodges themselves consists of a complex of rooms, dining area and kitchen, relaxation area and internal support facilities. The rooms are 7 x 4 metres and can comfortably hold three beds, although they are set up for two sharing. The walls dividing each room are built using cane and clay, and extend from the floor to about 2.5 meters height making each room private. The combination of clay and cane achieves two important objectives: regulating heat and providing an aesthetic appearance. However, sounds can be heard from room to room. Mosquitoes are not really a problem around the lodge clearing. Beds are well sized (1.05m X 2.05m) with mosquito nets. Each room has a private bathroom with cold water only. Rooms and bathrooms are separated by drapes or wooden doors.

ACCOMODATION AT THE TAMBOPATA RESEARCH CENTER

The Tambopata Research Center is located in a half hectare clearing 50 metres from the Tambopata River and 300 meters from the macaw clay lick. It is composed of four interconnected, thatch-roofed buildings. All buildings and interconnecting passageways are raised on four-foot stilts built from palm trunks. The main building is a 33 foot by 100 foot platform divided into 13 double rooms. Each bedroom is furnished with two beds draped in mosquito nets, a chair, a night table with a kerosene wind lamp, and a table for luggage and clothing. Each room does not have a wall on the side that looks into the forest: it is also designed to have an optional, permanent, clear view of the forest surrounding the clearing in order to maximize wildlife observation. To the left of the main building a 20 foot-long, roofed passageway connects to the bathrooms containing flush toilets and shower stalls. To the right of the main building a 15 foot-long, roofed passageway connects to the dining room and meeting room which in turn is connected to the kitchen.

ELECTRICITY

Few lodges or the Tambopata Research Center have electricity. Some lodges have a generator in the dining areas. Light is normally provided by numerous kerosene lamps and candles. At night it is very dark, so good flashlights with spare batteries are recommended.

TRAVEL BY BOAT

The boats are 20 foot long motorized canoes with foldable couched seats and a roof. They are powered by outboard motors which allow for a travel time varying from half an hour to three hours depending on the lodge. The Tambopata Research Centre is a further few hours upriver from the lodges. Passengers are protected by the sun and rain by a roof but we suggest keeping your rain gear and sun block with you nevertheless. Life vests are provided with every seat.

EMERGENCIES

In case of emergencies there are first aid kits equipped to deal with most cases that may reasonably arise in the area. For snake bites, unheard of in the Tambopata so far, we have a stun gun, extractors and an anti-venom at the lodges.

EMERGENCY CONTACT

In case of an emergency back home, friends or family may contact you through our office in Cuzco 7 days a week.

WILDLIFE OBSERVATION IN THE RAIN FOREST

The Tambopata Candamo is one of the world’s most diverse wildlife areas and one of the best preserved. However, the vast majority of the rain forest’s diversity is in the form of insects. The world record diversities of birds and mammals, are mostly in the form of small species. Larger species are rare, shy, unpredictable and very difficult to see, with a few notable exceptions. So do not expect the wildlife of the African savannah.
(A group who came with us last year observed a puma swimming in the river for a few minutes before gracefully emerging onto the bank. A spectacular but rare sight).
Nevertheless, these exciting encounters do occur on a regular basis. At the Tambopata Research Center, you will also have some of the Amazon’s best chances of seeing jaguar, tapir, giant river otters, harpy eagles, macaws, etc For detailed descriptions species and encounter rates, please contact us for further information.

Another important factor to bear in mind is that when you do encounter wildlife, you will not always have a clear, ample field of view. Perhaps your vision will be limited to observing wildlife through branches, leaves, and dense vegetation, flying or leaping away from you. Another extraordinary encounters was of a jaguar eating a dead tapir, and only 20 metres away. This was witnessed for 15 minutes by 8 people. Another one was of a jaguar sleeping on the beach in front of the Tambopata Research Centre. This incident was even filmed by a BBC film crew.

Do not expect wildlife to be encountered everyday. Come with your mind and your eyes open. You will be in a place where every horizontal and vertical meter of forest probably has hundreds of species of organisms, different from one metre to the next.

BIRDWATCHING AND TAMBOPATA

A typical week long trip to Tambopata, with a good birding guide, should yield around two-three hundred species. When travelling with an interest in birdwatching, i.e. when you want to dedicate most of your day to actively seeking and identifying birds, please let us know beforehand so that we can assign an appropriate guide. The Tambopata Research Center is a superior area for bird watching as it offers a greater variety of habitat at accessible distances, and more importantly, it is located in forests that have been un-hunted for decades, thus harboring substantial populations of large birds such as guan, currasow, macaws, etc. If you do not have the minimum five days required for a solid Tambopata Research Center itinerary, then many lodges offer good three or four day substitute programmes. From lake birds, a canopy tower and parrot clay licks.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN TAMBOPATA

The Amazon, with its magnificent scenery and diversity of fauna and flora is a photographer's paradise. However it is a challenging environment for nature and wildlife photography. The first challenge photographers will face is with their camera equipment. Even before the first wildlife encounter, you will have to deal with elements that can cause havoc with your camera equipment. The high level of humidity, the ever changing weather conditions and even plastic-melting insect repellent will be a challenge to even the most reliable equipment.
The second challenge comes in the form of the wildlife. Even though many tourists/photographers have left the lodges with some very good images of macaws and river otters, this is because of good luck and being at the right place at the right time. Photography in the rain forest is a difficult process and requires patience. It is an unrealistic reaction to believe that a person with a good camera and some powerful zoom lenses can achieve excellent results in a visit of a few days. In general, you will require lenses above 300 mm to produce good wildlife photography. ASA 200 film or above is recommended for the rain forest where it tends to be dark. For macro-photography, a flash will normally be required. To make sure your equipment is protected from the elements, we recommend the use of river bags and/or waterproof camera cases. The use of dry bags and silicon gel are highly recommended to alleviate the problem with humidity, rain and the occasional water splashing in the canoe during the trips on the river. The use of a tripod at the clay lick is recommended and lenses ranging from 500mm to 1000mm are necessary for the clay lick. The use of flash is not permitted when photographing the macaws at close range.

Who needs hiking when you can fly? The company Amazing Peruoffers hour-long flight tours right over the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The plane fits a minimum of eight passengers, and it can also be chartered. Passengers fly over Tipon and Pikillaqta, both archaeological sites, Pisaq and the Urubamba Valley, Sacsayhuaman, and, of course, Machu Picchu itself. Flights can be longer or shorter as requested.

"You can Om your way through Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is known as one of the most spiritual lands in the world, so why not go all out and Om your way through its ruins? Amazing Peru offers a seven-day yoga tour where visitors travel from Lima to Cuzco and finally to Machu Picchu, where they stay in the famed sanctuary Lodge hotel right outside of the ruins. They participate in multiple meditation and yoga sessions throughout the trip, but the highlight is a private session smack-dab in the middle of the ruins. Now that is an Om experience worth waiting for."
