We are located in the southeast Amazon rainforest of Peru, province of Tambopata, region Madre de Dios. The capital and nearest city is Puerto Maldonado beside which the waters of the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers connect.
An hour down the Madre de Dios river by motorboat with no road access, about 28 km from the city, on the right bank of the river, you arrive to the entrance of Taricaya. With almost 500 hectares of protected rainforest, we border the Tambopata National Reserve, a natural protected area identified by many scientists as one of the most biodiverse areas in the world.
