Tambopata Bike Tour along the Corridor and River
From €49 per person
See availability →A Tambopata bike tour of two to three hours along the Tambopata Corridor, between trees and the river, with a chance to spot monkeys and birds. Bikes and helmets provided.
A Tambopata bike tour is a slower way to meet the forest edge: pedalling between trees, with the Tambopata River beside you and monkeys and birds as possible company. The route follows the Tambopata Corridor on dirt tracks and a few stretches of concrete, and it takes roughly two to three hours. Morning or the hours when the sun is setting are the recommended times to ride.
You meet in the city at a coffee shop called Fauna Slow Coffee, where the bikes are waiting in 26-inch and 29-inch sizes, with helmets. Guides who know the area and its people lead the way, and they are bilingual, although in peak season they may speak mainly Spanish.
- Bike rental and a safety helmet
- A local guide and route guidance
- Access to the Tambopata Corridor
Be ready for the heat: the thermometer often passes 34 degrees Celsius and the air is very humid, so good fitness matters. Bring your own water, a sun hat, a snack and sunglasses. Some climbs may call for getting off and pushing the bike, and a few descents can be technical, but easier trails can be chosen depending on the rider. Tips, drinks and food are not included.
