Secret Forest Station, located on the lower Tambopata River in the heart of southeastern Peru's Madre de Dios province, protects and manages over 400 hectares of lowland Amazonian rainforest, conducting decades-long biological research and granting visitors an authentic, unique involvement in active conservation initiatives. Our site and tour packages are uniquely tailored to grant you a front-row seat to the wildlife, natural, and cultural experiences you seek most on your travels in Peru and Amazonia.

"I totally reccomend SFO to anyone interested in staying along the
Tambopata River. Very pleasant amenities, the WiFi was fast and the
beds extremely comfortable, the food delicious and the staff very
helpful and knowledgeable."

OUR PARTNERS
Secret Forest Station has been the primary base of operation for research nonprofit Fauna Forever for over 10 years, conducting long-term biodiversity monitoring while also granting students and other researchers the opportunity to learn the methods of ecological science and conduct thesis research.
​
In 2022, Fauna Forever began a long-term partnership with Wilderness International Perú (WIPERU) to conserve even larger stretches of forest in the buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve. Today, SFO's partner agencies together have protected and now manage over 3500 hectares of lowland Amazonian forest (through both private titled lands and forest concessions) in the region, preventing illegal depredation activities and granting capacitation and employment opportunities to local community members as forest guardians.
Your stay at SFO directly contributes to our conservation mission and helps ensure that this magnificent piece of the Amazon remains intact for future generations to study, appreciate, and explore.
