Welcome to the Amazon Research Center Peru Lodge

Formally registered as an official Research Institution recognized by CONCYTEC (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación), the Amazon Research Center Peru Lodge (ARC is located approximately 15 km upriver from the main Tahuayo Lodge. The ARC Lodge is smaller, quieter, more remote and in more pristine undisturbed forest with a different variety of wildlife. The centerpiece of the ARC is our trail grid system, the largest of its kind in the Amazon.

The Amazon Research Center Peru Lodge

While it is less opulent than our main lodge, the arc is cozy and quiet with private cabins, a hammock room, electricity by solar panels, wifi through satellite connection, and delicious buffet-style meals. All cabins are on raised stilts and feature balconies, with half of the cabins overlooking the river, and the other half overlooking the forest. A couple of cabins have a matrimonial queen bed, while the rest have 2-3 beds. Unlike the main lodge, all cabins share bathrooms.

Conservation Research

The Area de Conservacion Regional Comunal Tamshiyacu Tahuayo (ACRCTT). It is a 1 million acre (445,000 ha) reserve and offers a unique opportunity for scientists, students, and interested travelers to participate in scientific investigations.

Relaxation in Nature

Both our main Tahuayo Lodge and ARC lodge have hammock rooms, but the ARC lodge enjoys a unique opportunity to enjoy completely undisturbed nature, and distance from all communities located, approximately 15 km upriver from the main Tahuayo Lodge.

Amazonia's Trail Grid

The centerpiece of the ARC facilities is our Trail Grids. Located behind the ARC, it contains 55 miles (75 km) of trails spread over more than 1000 acres (2200 ha) and slicing through four different ecosystems. It is the largest scientific trail system offered in the Amazon.

Relaxing and Beautiful Rooms

The ARC is smaller, quieter, and less opulent than our main lodge, but it is still comfortable and cozy with private cabins, a hammock room, a lounge, and delicious buffet-style meals. All cabins feature balconies, with half of the cabins overlooking the river, and half overlooking the forest.

Why Two Lodges?

Our main Tahuayo Lodge is remote, 140 nautical km from the nearest road. Which is good, because you must get into remote wilderness to see good forest. But because it is so remote, just 1 speedboat per day going there, departing after arrival of people on LA 2240 (about noon). So that’s day #1. Likewise the last day is mostly just returning to Iquitos city.

Now the Amazon Research Center is even more remote, requiring a full morning to get there (again 1 boat a day) and a half day to return. So really you need a trip length of 6 days / 5 nights to include both lodges.

Here is why we have 2 lodges:

We have the greatest biodiversity that you can find with any Amazon trip. But biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest doesn’t mean there’s a lot of different species all in one place. The Amazon has biodiversity because it is a complex mosaic of different ecosystems.

From the Tahuayo Lodge we can explore several different ecosystems: igapo (actually several different categories of igapo as described by Dr. Randall Myster in his book Igapo forests of the Amazon Basin – he did much of his investigations for his research from our lodges); tahuampa (or flooded forest); terra firme forest and cochas (remnant oxbow lakes) in various stages of ecological succession.

From our Amazon Research Center we have access to different Amazon forest ecosystems: high and low restinga forest, bajial forest, aguajal (palm swamp), a different kind of terra firme forest and also cochas in different stages of ecological succession.

What this means in a practical sense is that from the Tahuayo Lodge you will be able to get into ecosystems that have pink dolphins, sloths, night monkeys, manakins, trogons, howler monkeys, poison dart frogs, jacanas, pygmy marmosets, neotropical river otters, harlequin toads, tamarins and other species not typically found in the ecosystems near the research center. And in the ecosystems near to the Amazon Research Center we can find giant river otters, sakis, capuchins, woolly monkeys, titi monkeys, blue and yellow macaws, tamandua, large caiman and other species not usually encountered near to the main lodge.

Vista Amazonica Bed & Breakfast

For our guests convenience we also offer our bed & breakfast service in Iquitos city.
