Tambopata Research Center Wins South America’s Green Hotel Category at the World Travel Awards for the Fourth Consecutive Year

Tambopata Research Center, nestled in the heart of the magnificent Tambopata National Reserve in Madre de Dios, Peru, has once again been honored as South America’s Leading Green Hotel at the prestigious World Travel Awards. This prestigious accolade marks the fourth consecutive year in which Tambopata Research Center stands out as a leader in environmental practices and sustainability in South America’s tourism industry.

The World Travel Awards, known as the “Oscars of the travel industry,” were established in 1993 with the purpose of recognizing, rewarding, and celebrating excellence in key sectors of travel, tourism, and hospitality. Today, the World Travel Awards are globally recognized as the ultimate hallmark of excellence in the industry.

Tambopata Research Center is a unique gem in the world of tourism, as it is situated within the Tambopata National Reserve, a protected natural area in Peru. This places a significant responsibility on the hotel, as it is not only an exceptional place of accommodation but also a guardian of natural heritage that is invaluable to all Peruvians.

This prestigious award underscores Tambopata Research Center’s commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation. The hotel takes pride in being an exemplar of eco-friendly environmental and logistical practices. Each year, the center works tirelessly to minimize its ecological footprint and promote the conservation of the Tambopata National Reserve.

This recognition not only motivates the Tambopata Research Center team to continue their work in conservation through science and ecotourism but also inspires them to create experiences and spaces that turn their guests into active allies in preserving the Amazon rainforest.

Located just 4.5 hours from the city of Puerto Maldonado, Tambopata Research Center is easily accessible from Cusco with a short 30-minute flight or from Lima in 1.5 hours. Guests at this unique hotel not only enjoy abundant opportunities to observe wildlife in its natural state but can also participate as citizen scientists in conservation projects, leaving a positive impact on the region’s biodiversity.

At the Tambopata Research Center, guests can enjoy an authentic experience with nature by carrying out unique activities designed to deeply understand the Amazon rainforest and its inhabitants. Due to the development of one of the region’s iconic projects, the Tambopata Macaw Project, this ecolodge is a paradise for parrots, parakeets, and of course the emblematic macaws. It is also considered one of the best places in the country to observe the powerful jaguar with 35% probabilities to see it between July to September.
