EXPLORTAMBOS is a primitive camp in
Explorama´s deep virgin rainforest reserve of the Napo River, a two-hour
walk from our nearest lodge, ExplorNapo. The new Tambos have a maximum
capacity for 16 explorers who share this experience, sleeping in
individual shelters with mosquito netted beds (shelters for couples are
also available), eating meals cooked on an open-hearth fireplace and
using the Tambos as the departing point for newly opened trails. Due to
the Tambo’s isolation, the possibilities of spotting wildlife are much
better than from any other lodge in this part of the Amazon.
The ExplorTambo basic program includes
nights at Explorama Lodge and ExplorNapo as well as the Tambos. On this
adventure there are excellent opportunities to discover the unique
animals and birds of the Amazon as well as to enjoy the wide variety of
plants and insect life.
