Tambopata
The Tambopata Research Center is a popular eco-lodge and research station located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in the south of Peru, close to the Bolivian border. The Tambopata Research Center is known for its commitment to conservation and sustainability. It offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty and diversity of the rainforest while supporting vital research and conservation efforts. It is the most remote and isolated Amazonian lodge in Peru. From Puerto Maldonado, you'll need one hour by car plus two and a half hours by boat to reach the compound.
The trip to the lodge is a real experience in itself. You will navigate up the Rio Madre de Dios on board a typical boat, and you will even be able to spot illegal gold diggers before entering the reserve. With some luck during your navigation, you will see a group of capybaras (the world's largest rodent) or peccaries (Amazonian wild pigs). The forest in which the research center is located is called a primary forest. The closer you get to the lodge, the denser the forest becomes. The almost total absence of human beings makes it one of the main reasons for the proliferation of animal life.
Once the boat has docked, you end the journey with a ten-minute walk through the lush forest. It is at this moment that the lodge unveils before your eyes. You will be greeted with a welcome juice and cold, damp towelettes to refresh your face after your long trip.
One of the reasons that the Tambopata Research Center is such an excellent fit for LGBTQ+ travelers is its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, guides, and local researchers are genuinely open-minded, which makes the Center a safe and supportive space for LGBTQ+ visitors.
The Center offers comfortable and private accommodations. Backpackers and travelers with smaller budgets will opt for the standard rooms next to the lobby. Others can opt for one of the superior rooms or Deluxe Suites, all located at the end of an elevated walkway, far from the reception. All rooms enable you to live in total symbiosis with nature since they are not fully closed. Indeed, one side of each room is entirely open to the jungle, which is truly unique. In addition, the Deluxe suites offer a beautiful terrace with an outdoor shower and bathtub.
The rooms are comfortable, the staff is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Meals are served at specific times so all guests can enjoy the buffet of local products together. If you are hiking with your guide during breakfast or lunch, the meals will be served during the hike.
The Center offers various activities and excursions suitable for all fitness levels and interests. These include guided hikes through the rainforest, sunset cruises down the river, birdwatching, night walks, or photography tours. A private guide will accompany you at any time during these activities.
You can expect to observe much wildlife, from bullet ants to spider monkeys, from red howler monkeys to extraordinary butterflies. Unless you're lucky enough to spot one of the local jaguars, the main highlight of your stay at Tambopata Research Center will be, without a doubt, your visit to Collpa Chuncho. It's the largest and most popular clay lick in the reserve, where you can watch the most colorful and beautiful macaws for which the Tambopata region is renowned. Blue and yellow macaws, green-fronted macaws, Scarlett macaws, and a variety of parakeets gather here at dawn to eat clay, which they need to complement their diet. They gradually come together, perch on the trees and the clay surface from morning onwards until the whole area is covered in color in the most unbelievable spectacle.
Overall, the Tambopata Research Center is a fantastic choice for LGBTQ+ travelers who want to experience the beauty of the Amazon rainforest in a safe and inclusive environment. With its commitment to conservation and sustainability and its welcoming and supportive atmosphere, the Tambopata Research Center is an ideal destination for those looking to connect with nature and explore one of the world's most biodiverse regions.

Rooms are comfortable with electricity 3 times per day. Bathrooms are shared and provide an eco-friendly toiletries kit.

We help ensure gay travelers can travel and feel welcome anywhere they go. To help in that aim, we have added gay-friendly hotels as alternative to our community-based room and apartment sharing.
How do we select and designate these gay-friendly hotels?
To vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider many criteria including: support or affiliation to LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), LGBTNetwork, etc. We also look at how hotels reach out to the LGBTQ+ community (LGBTQ+ section on websites, marketing spend on LGBTQ+ outlets, staff training (Out Now), etc.) and we consider their HRC ratings (USA).
