Squirrel monkey. All photos by author.

Ox-bow lakes crowded by exuberant foliage, multicolored macaws squawking in the treetops, squirrel monkeys skittering along branches – the Tambopata National Reserve, in the Madre de Dios region, brims with such varied and abundant wildlife that it’s easy to forget how many of its species are threatened. Yet the region’s spectacular biodiversity faces pressure from mining, hunting, deforestation and even poorly managed tourism.

So just when I was about to throw in the towel and go on a two day strike, Peruvian style, I received an invitation from Rainforest Expeditions http://www.perunature.com/ to review their 5 Day, 4 night trip to the Tambopata Nature Reserve in Puerto Maldonado sans children.
