Tambopata Province, Ecological province in Madre de Dios Region, Peru
Tambopata Province is an administrative region in southeastern Peru that spans across several districts. The territory is largely covered by rainforest and remains sparsely populated throughout.
The province was created to better organize administration in the Madre de Dios Department, with Puerto Maldonado serving as its capital. This formation reflected the region's growing importance over time.
Indigenous groups living here continue to practice traditional ways and share knowledge about the forest through their daily life and craftsmanship. Visitors can observe how local people work with plants and animals as part of their everyday routines.
The main airport in Puerto Maldonado receives regular flights from major cities, making it the primary entry point to the region. From there, you can reach lodges and natural areas by local transport or tour operators.
Research stations throughout the province serve as bases where scientists actively document and study the region's extraordinary wildlife. Visitors may observe this work firsthand or learn about discoveries made in these field locations.
