Tamandua Expeditions’ Alta Sanctuary Treehouse is hours from the nearest town, and soars above the canopy as the tallest treehouse in the Americas. It also offers a unique perspective on one of the world’s most fascinating, biodiverse, and threatened habitats. There, guests can immerse themselves in the intricate sights and sounds of the rainforest, filtering out the noise of society and tuning into the subtleties of canopy life. Nestled 110 feet above the ground in an ancient host tree entwined in a massive strangler fig, the treehouse provides an extraordinary retreat with amenities reminiscent of a five-star hotel room. From hot and cold water to solar power electricity, air conditioning, and 360º views, guests can indulge in comfort while surrounded by the diverse flora and fauna of the world's most unique ecosystem. However, the treehouse is not only a luxury retreat for those who can afford it - it also serves as a sanctuary for focused learning for Junglekeepers Peru. The organisation conserves the rainforest in the vitally important Madres de Dios region and utilises education to help the local people protect their unique habitat. Junglekeepers’ executive director Mohsin Kazmi says: “Utilising ecotourism as a vessel for conservation education is one of the most important parts of how Tamandua Expeditions curates experiences in tropical ecosystems. “Having the tallest treehouse in The Americas provides our guests with the ability to spend enough time in the canopy in order to adjust to the nuanced nature of the rainforest soundscape. The ability to filter out the noise of society and tune your senses to the most subtle sounds and behaviors of the diversity of canopy life.” Juan Julio Durand Torres, Vice President of Junglekeepers Peru, utilises the treehouse as his classroom. He even pursued a leadership course on the Udemy online education platform, harnessing the tranquility of the canopy to enhance his skills. Having learned in one of the world’s most unique classrooms, he now passes that knowledge on to others. Juan Julio firmly believes that education is a formidable asset in the fight against deforestation. The more people understand the forest, the greater their sense of responsibility to protect it. In the ongoing battle against deforestation, Junglekeepers has successfully safeguarded 50,000 acres of rainforest habitat along the Las Piedras River in Madre de Dios, Peru, this year alone. From this unparalleled classroom in the Amazon's tallest treehouse, Juan Julio Durand Torres educates young Peruvians on defending their rainforest home. Elevated 32 meters above the ground, the rangers of Junglekeepers gain a bird's eye view over the canopy, enhancing their understanding of the lush ecosystem they protect. The treehouse, in collaboration with Udemy, serves as a learning hub for Indigenous communities, offering courses to empower and incentivize them to safeguard the Amazon. Speaking of how the rainforest classroom is the best place to learn, Kazmi adds: “We believe that a sanctuary atop the canopy makes for an ideal space to maintain your focus and energy towards gaining knowledge that can be applied when back at our terrestrial homes.” For those visiting, waking up in the rainforest canopy is a rare adventure, providing a perspective seldom witnessed even by scientists and explorers. The first rays of sunlight reveal a vibrant tapestry of colors and sounds, showcasing the bustling metropolis of birds, primates, and other creatures that call the canopy home. This unique viewpoint allows for an intimate connection with the rainforest ecosystem, fostering an appreciation for its wonders. For those seeking a deeper understanding of the Amazon's biodiversity, Tamandua Expeditions offers expeditions led by a professional team of experts. With in-depth knowledge of the rainforest's ecology, the team guides visitors through an insightful adventure, showcasing the myriad of bird species that inhabit the canopy. Scarlet, red and green, blue and yellow, and chestnut-fronted macaws, along with toucans and tanagers, grace the canopy with their vibrant presence. Its pristine location enables incredible wildlife sightings and offers an immersive jungle experience. The seclusion also aids conservation efforts, keeping logging, poaching, and mining at bay. With its dual role as an educational centre and tourist destination, the Alta Sanctuary Treehouse not only enriches minds but also creates employment opportunities - meaning not only are visitors gaining an unique insight and experience amid the rainforest, but they are helping ensure others are employed conserving it. Nights in the treehouse start at $1,450, with a minimum stay of two nights.
