Inca: Nature in the Wider Tambopata Area

When looking for hotels in Inca, it helps to consider the town and the nature-related attractions in the wider region as separate parts of your trip planning. The Tambopata National Reserve, Collpa Colorado and Collpa Chuncho give this surrounding area a more specific character. To decide whether Inca is a good fit for your trip, consider the size of the protected area, the features of individual nature destinations, and the information available about boat trips and visiting times. This will help you assess the character of the destination before comparing specific hotels.

The Tambopata National Reserve in the wider region

The Tambopata National Reserve is located in the wider region around Inca. It was designated in September 2000 by Supreme Decree No. 048-2000-AG and currently covers 274,690 hectares. This area makes it a large-scale natural region, on a different scale from the dimensions of a single named destination.

The 2011 species tally attributed to SERNANP lists a total of 1,260 recorded species in the reserve. These include 93 amphibian, 648 bird, 108 mammal and 323 fish species. Of these four groups, birds account for the largest number, followed by fish, mammals and amphibians. The figures provide an overview of the diversity and the different numbers of species in the animal groups listed.

One specific nature destination in the wider area is Collpa Colorado. The clay cliff is located in the Alto Tambopata sector, on the left bank of the Río Tambopata, in the district and province of Tambopata, and within the Tambopata National Reserve. It is 50 meters high and 500 meters long. Its location and these measurements help pinpoint this geological feature.

Collpa Chuncho is also located in the Alto Tambopata sector, in the district and province of Tambopata. It is known for macaw watching. The descriptions emphasize different aspects: Collpa Colorado is characterized by its location and dimensions, while Collpa Chuncho is associated with macaw watching. If you are interested in the region’s nature destinations, these features offer an initial guide to which aspect you might like to explore further.

Boat trips and visiting times

Tourist boat and catamaran trips are available in the Tambopata National Reserve. A boat route to Collpa Colorado covers 113 kilometers from the landing stage of the Comunidad Nativa de Infierno and takes eight hours. Travel conditions may affect the duration. The distance and stated duration help you estimate how much time this trip will take.

The reserve is listed as open to visitors year-round, with the dry season from May to November considered the ideal time to visit. Weather conditions vary from year to year. The year-round listing and the seasonal recommendation answer different planning questions: while the visiting period is broad, May to November is considered the preferred window. Take weather-related variations into account when weighing your travel dates.
