Stay in lodge by the Tambopata River in one of the world's last accessible virgin rainforests. Watch Macaw's breeding on a live webcam - see below.
The Peruvian Amazon rainforest is one of the last easily accessible virgin tropical rainforests of the world. Conservation International considers it widely unexplored and one of the global Mega Diversity Hot Spots. Toucans, macaws, parrots, tamarin monkeys, red squirrels and black alligators are among the many wildlife species to keep an eye out for as you cruise along one of its many rivers or creeks.
Most of the lodges in the Peruvian Amazon can be found along the Tambopata River, within the Tambopata National Reserve, close to the border with Bolivia. This can be easily accessed via the airport in Puerto Maldonado, which has several daily flights from Cusco and Lima. From Puerto Maldonado you are transported by motorized canoe for several hours along the river to your chosen lodge.
It's Macaw breeding season in the Peruvian amazon. Watch them live!
Located in Tambopata in the Peruvian Amazon, MacawCam streams from two artificial nests, allowing you to observe different stages of macaw life. One nest is currently occupied by a bonded pair of macaws in the pre-breeding phase, where you can follow their behaviour before egg-laying and incubation. The second nest hosts an active chick, offering a rare glimpse into parental care, feeding, and early development. What you are witnessing, whether a resting pair, a growing chick, or a brief signal interruption, is part of the authentic rhythm of life in the Amazon rainforest. These challenges are also a reminder of how remote and pristine this ecosystem truly is. By watching this live stream, you are observing real science in action and contributing to the protection of one of the Amazon’s most iconic species. Due to heavy rains, you may sometimes experience transmission interruptions. The stream will be restored as soon as the weather improves.
