Rainforest Expeditions

Rainforest Expeditions is a Peruvian Ecotourism company. Since 1989 our guests and lodges, have added value to standing tropical rainforest, transforming it into a competitive alternative to unsustainable economic uses, engaging local communities in its protection and care. How We Do It: You visit the Amazon rainforest with us, probably because you want to experience millions of acres of ancient trees with monkeys and macaws in them. We facilitate your experience by providing creature comforts (clean rooms, good food), an enriching context (knowledgeable guides, local connections), and access to a vast tropical rainforest wilderness. We share the income from your visit with our neighbors: native communities and farmers who have been around here a lot longer than us, many of whom work at the lodges and have become guardians of this natural wonder. Our partners and neighbors connect your visit to their economy. They also understand your visit depends on a healthy wilderness. They commit to its health and sustainability Below is a timeline of our history since 1989 - but we are far from finished. There is much more to come. We plan to open a fourth lodge, along the same lines as the three we already manage. We are deep in research, to find ways to make our current and future lodges and operations more energy efficient and low carbon-emission. We want to help develop home-stay products elsewhere in the Amazon, as we believe this has good potential with less accessible regions (aka - most of the Amazon). We also want to provide our guests opportunities to shop for beautiful Amazon jewelry, handicrafts, and wood decorations produced by native communities, when visiting our lodges. We hope to help our guests positively impact every corner of the Amazon. Join us for the adventure - your patronage, ideas and support are always welcome! 2014 We secure financial resources to upgrade Posada Amazonas, the community's Centro Nape, and other individual initiatives of community members. 2013 We successfully extend the joint venture agreement with the Community of Infierno to jointly operate Posada Amazonas, taking the partnership three more years to 2019. 2011 We put a great new product out to test - photo workshops which include top notch equipment - 600 mm lens, robotic tripod mounts and extreme macro lenses. 2010 We start talking to the community of Palma Real, a traditional Ese'eja native community.
