The Tapiche Reserve is a private rainforest conservation project in the northern Amazon of Peru. We preserve primary forest, restore disturbed areas, and support local communities with eco-sustainable employment opportunities so that humans can exist harmoniously with nature in the jungle.
Through habitat preservation, we provide wild animals the resources and environment they need to thrive undisturbed in nature, which also gives researchers the opportunity to study rare and endangered species in their natural habitat.
The Tapiche team has joined forces with Project Amazonas, a respected non-profit operating in the Iquitos area with an impressive 30-year track record of conserving and restoring forest and providing medical services to remote communities. We look forward to further strengthening the positive relationship between the reserve and local communities and continuing to preserve the forest for generations to come.
To support our conservation efforts, our rustic lodge is open to adventurous overnight visitors who wish to immerse themselves in the deep jungle. We handle all bookings directly and do not partner with any other tour operators.
We believe jungle animals belong in their natural habitat in the wild, not domesticated or manipulated for human entertainment or commercial consumption. We do not keep exotic pets at the lodge, nor do we offer opportunities to hold or take photos with jungle animals.
