Amazonia Expeditions has exclusive access to over 1.1 million acres of pristine rainforest within the Area de Conservacion Regional Communal Tamshiyacu Tahuayo (ACRCTT).  Commonly known as the Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo reserve,  the site provides you with the opportunity to experience an unmatched variety of Amazon wildlife. Scientists have documented more species of monkeys here than any protected park or reserve in the world as well as the greatest diversity of mammals and birds of any site studied in the lowland Amazon basin. The Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Reserve was originally designated by the Peruvian government in 1991, with significant support from Amazonia Expeditions, to protect the range of the rare red uakari monkey, an orangutan-like monkey with a bright red face.

The facilities of our Amazon Research Center offer a unique opportunity for scientists, students and interested travelers to participate in scientific investigations in the Amazon rainforest. Much of the ongoing fieldwork research is conservation related as part of an effort to understand and preserve the most mega-diverse region yet documented in all the lowland Amazon forest. From Amazon wildlife population studies, to ongoing primate behavioral research and beyond – we welcome novel research proposals and volunteers alike as part of our greater mission.
