Tambopata National Reserve is 274,690 hectares (1,061 square miles) of preserved land in southeastern Peru. The reserve has many diverse habitats, including Amazonian lowland rainforest, riparian forests and oxbow lakes. It is crossed by three rivers: the Malinowski, Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers.
Because of the reserve's protected status and isolated location, it is incredibly biodiverse. The reserve is home to 1200 species of butterflies, 169 species of mammals, around 632 species of birds and hundreds of species of trees and plants. In fact, this reserve and the surrounding region is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
