A hard review to write, because while there were positive aspects to our stay at Tambopata (4 nights in July 2024), the grand majority of our experience was boring or even a little miserable. Giving a totally honest list of positives and negatives: Negatives 1. The price tag of $900 per night was absurd for the value we received. We got pretty unlucky and had non-stop rain with cold for 2 of the 3 days straight. While of course that is not Tambopata's fault, they made 0 effort to ensure we enjoyed our experience despite the less than ideal circumstances. They had one activity over the entire two days - a 15 minute "Pisco Sour Lesson" where we watched the bartender made ONE DRINK. That's it. They didn't even offer a taste of the Pisco. You'd think for $900 per night for the basic room they would include one drink for the activity. Ridiculous. To add even more aggravation, you could hear the staff playing billiards/pool the entire day and night, but there was no such entertainment provided for the paying guests... Lastly, they had an onsite masseuse, who sat in the corner on her phone all day. The resort could have offered a 30 minute massage for free to each guest or even a discount on the pricey treatments, again given we're paying $900 per night to sit at the lodge and stare at the rain... 2. The rooms were right next to each other and lacked a wall (which we were aware of in advance, just not the proximity to other rooms). On the left side I could hear a person coughing through the night and on the right, a person snoring. Furthermore, the room was tiny and lacked a fan so again, for $900, we were pretty unimpressed. 3. The food was just alright. The hot soups were very bland and the food was pretty repetitive. They didn't have too many options for me as a vegetarian either. 4. The claylicks, a highlight for most people, were so far away from where we were allowed to stand. You could barely see the birds even with binoculars. 5. We spent sooooo much time waiting for something to happen. Even on the day we had good weather, the activities were long and we had 2 interesting wildlife sightings the entire day (squirrel monkeys and capybara). So, after three days, it's a little hard to remain optimistic and enjoy the scenery. 6. The staff seemed completely indifferent, and no one, including our guide, checked in to see how we were doing the entire time. Positives 1. A group of about 4 macaws visit the lodge each afternoon around lunch. Getting to watch these animals up close was an exciting experience, and my husband got some great photos (see attached) 2. I thought the Night Lectures were really interesting and I enjoyed attending 2 / 3. 3. We were lucky enough to have 1 good day, and a few good pictures. The Amazon itself is a fascinating place. This could have been a fantastic experience, but unfortunately, the price tag is absurd for the value, and the resort did nothing to ensure our experience was as positive as possible when we encount
