Wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys… spend the day walking jungle trails and paddling around oxbow lakes watching an array of wildlife, from the tiny tamarin monkeys leaping overhead to giant otters fishing in the lake… relax and watch the sun set over the Tambopata river with colorful macaws flying overhead…
Nestled within the 240,690ha Tambopata National Reserve -one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world lies Explorer’s Inn Amazon rainforest lodge & research station. It was here that world records in bird, butterfly and dragonfly biodiversity have been set and to this day remains the best lodge on the Tambopata river for wildlife sightings.
Explorer’s Inn was the first ecotourism lodge to be built in the region and is the only lodge situated fully within the boundary of the Tambopata National Reserve in the province of Madre-de-Dios. The lodge itself is located in a picturesque setting at the confluence of the La Torre and Tambopata rivers, 60 km upriver from Puerto Maldonado.
Within walking distance of our Amazon lodge lies Cocococha, a tranquil oxbow lake formerly part of the river Tambopata. The undisturbed and thriving ecosystem here means that the lake can support a family of giant river otters along with other endangered species such as black caimans. Bird life is also prolific; with a record breaking 620 species being recorded in the area surrounding Explorer’s Inn, you will not cease to be amazed by the variety and colors, whether you are a professional birdwatcher or simply hold an interest in travel and adventure. Walking the extensive network of trails is an experience never to forget; encounters of the various monkey species are common, and you may encounter mammals such as peccaries, agoutis, anteaters, coatis and much more. Some lucky tourists have even caught a glimpse of the elusive Jaguar.
Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher or ecologist, or simply want to experience the Peruvian Amazon jungle and the wildlife it has to offer then Explorer’s Inn Amazon rainforest lodge is the place for you.

Machu Picchu: Under imminent Danger?
Machu Picchu, the remarkable Peruvian Sanctuary discovered a century ago, is still facing the possibility of being placed on the United Nations (UN) list of endangered world heritage places. The UN has alerted Peru that the famous citadel might lose its humankind legacy level if they do not act well to preserve it.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people visit Machu Picchu. This unrestricted tourism is damaging the architecture of the Sanctuary. Some experts pointed out that the city could slip off its mountain saddle. As sightseers number and the infrastructure to support them have grown, so has the burden on Machu Picchu and its surrounding ecosystem.
Because it is Peru's leading attraction, this Sanctuary brings to this country US$ 6million a year. The Peruvian government has proven resistant to calls for the number of visitors to be restricted. To face this, authorities in Peru have proposed to the Unesco a $130million plan to preserve the Inca’s citadel.
This situation is also affecting the hotel activity; therefore several chain of hotels are supporting this initiative, among them The Libertador Hotel which also offers some important city facts in its web page www.libertador.com.pe
The local government will be hoping that their proposals persuade the Unesco. Meanwhile Peru is prepared to do all it can to preserve one of the jewels of South America.
