The synergy between science and ecotourism is revolutionizing how we connect with nature, and Rainforest Expeditions is at the forefront of this evolution. Through their innovative Wired Amazon program, they not only offer an immersive experience in the Peruvian Amazon but also invite travelers to become key players in the conservation of this unique and diverse ecosystem.

What truly sets Wired Amazon apart is its approach to engaging everyone who wishes to protect the Amazon. Imagine exploring the rainforest, surrounded by flora and fauna, while helping to discover new species or collect primate sounds in the Tambopata National Reserve. That’s exactly what Wired Amazon has made possible with projects like Discovering New Species, where citizens participate in identifying moths, spiders, and other fascinating insects. So far, more than 30 new species have been discovered, thanks to collaboration between scientists and adventurers.
But it’s not just about the excitement of a scientific discovery. Wired Amazon makes science accessible and fun for everyone. With initiatives like 8 Primates, visitors learn to use advanced technology, such as recorders and antennas, to monitor primate vocalizations. You don’t need to be an expert scientist to take part! Anyone with curiosity and a love for nature can make a valuable contribution.

The Wired Amazon program is not only a bridge between science and tourism but also an example of how ecotourism can create a positive impact on local communities. Working closely with the Ese Eja native community of Infierno, Rainforest Expeditions ensures that tourism activities support both conservation and the economic well-being of the region. The eco-lodges, designed with sustainability principles, function not only as dreamlike accommodations but also as centers for scientific research and biodiversity protection.
