Getting There

  • Car

    If you are driving from Puerto Maldonado, start by heading southwest on Avenida Jorge Basadre. Follow the signs to the Interoceánica Sur highway (also known as the BR-40). Continue on this highway for approximately 40 kilometers until you reach the entrance to Reserva Nacional Tambopata. There may be a small fee for vehicle entry, and make sure to have cash on hand for this. The entrance is marked with signs, and you may need to park your vehicle before proceeding to the park office.

  • Public Transportation

    To travel by public transportation, head to the main bus terminal in Puerto Maldonado. Look for a bus or minivan heading to the Tambopata River or directly to the park’s entrance. These vehicles usually leave when full and the fare is generally around 15-20 soles. Inform the driver of your destination so they can drop you off at the correct location. After arriving at the entrance, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the park office for registration.

  • Guided Tour

    Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation from Puerto Maldonado to Reserva Nacional Tambopata. Many tour companies offer packages that include pick-up from your hotel, transport to the reserve, and guided activities within the park. The cost for such tours varies but typically starts around 100 soles per person and includes meals and entrance fees.
