Tambopata-Candamo is a nature reserve in the Peruvian Amazon Basin south of the Madre de Dios River in Tambopata province's Inambari and Tambopata districts. It was created on January 26, 1990 to protect the forests adjacent to the rivers Heath and Tambopata that have two important ecosystems.
From Puerto Maldonado, one can get to the preserve via the Tambopata River; there is a highway Port Maldonado - Cusco. On having come, one will appreciate the enormous biodiversity and the habitats of each of the ecosystems, which represent native flora and fauna with 165 species and 41 families of trees, 103 species of mammals, 1300 species of butterflies and 90 species of amphibians.
