Here is a guide to tour prices for Amazon Rainforest tours.
We will also mention what usually accounts for the a differences, what you get for your money, and what to look at for different budgets.
We will break the article down to cover the different types of tours on offer in the Amazon. But keep in mind the main factors that determine a tour’s price. These include:
- Fuel used to get to the lodge or on tour (this helps explain why cruises usually cost more than rainforest lodges)
- Exclusivity, such as a private guide or a small-group cruise or tour
- Quality of accommodation
- Quality of service
- Guide ability
- The wildlife you’re likely to see
Another factor to consider is the length of time you wish to visit. If you’re planning on short tours of 2 or 3 days, make sure you pick an area of fantastic diversity close to a gateway town or city. This means you don’t waste time traveling to and from the lodge. Remember that the day-to-day price decreases the longer you choose to stay.
To maximize your experience, no matter which budget you’re looking for, focus your attention on tours in an area of fantastic diversity. This means an area of Amazon forest that hasn’t been damaged by human activity. The general rule is that forest very close to cities and towns has often been damaged and disturbed. The wildlife has left the area many years ago, but there are exceptions. We will cover these later.
We will go over some of the considerations for Amazon tour prices. And we will suggest three of the top tours for each to give you examples of:
- Budget Tours
- Luxury Tours
- Lodge-Based Tours
- Cruise-Based Tours
- Deep Amazon Lodges
- Short Amazon Tours
Budget tours
If you’re interested in a more budget conscious Amazon tour, make sure you choose an area of high biodiversity close to an Amazon gateway town. One of the best gateways for a budget tour is the Amazon town of Puerto Maldonado in the Peruvian Amazon. This is just a short flight south of Cusco and is easily accessible from Lima.
Puerto Maldonado is a great place because the protected area of Tambopata National Reserve is so close to town. You can be in the reserve in a little over 20 minutes, which means you don’t waste time traveling to and from your lodge of choice
The Tambopata National Reserve is part of the world’s largest tract of protected tropical forest. And it protects an exceptional diversity of animals and plants. This section of Amazonia contains more clay licks than anywhere else. These fantastic areas offer almost guaranteed wildlife sightings. Here is our recommended selection of budget Amazon tours:

Lodge-Based Amazon Tours
Lodge-based tours are often a lower cost than cruise-based experiences. This is because less fuel is used on tour, which is often the highest cost for Amazon tour operators.
This also explain why deeper Amazon tours are often a higher cost than lodges closer to a gateway town. But we will cover this a little later.
A lodge-based experience allows you a more intimate experience with the rainforest. And it means you can spend more time exploring a specific area. The advantage of this is that the guides have usually spent years exploring the area for the best spots to see different animals and plants. This is if you choose one of the higher quality lodges.
These lodges are often positioned after years exploring the Amazon to find the best sites. And this is why the best lodges are often near areas for almost guaranteed wildlife sightings. Usually, they are near protected areas, clay licks, or at the edge of wildlife-filled Amazonian lakes.
We will suggest three of our recommended lodge-based experiences to see fantastic wildlife. These will be suited to different budgets and time frames. Each of these lodges has its own fantastic feature for exploring the forest, such as a canopy zipline, tall canopy tower, or a canopy swing bridge.

Deep Amazon Tours
Aside from luxury lodges, the other major factor to determine the differences in price for Amazon tours is how deep they are in the rainforest.
The deeper in the rainforest the tours are, the more fuel is required to transport visitors there and back. But what you get for this money is often more wildlife and more pristine rainforest.
Wildlife deep in the rainforest is at carrying capacity as human impacts haven’t had a detrimental effect on the ecosystem.
If you’re interested in maximizing wildlife sightings, we recommend the deep Amazon Rainforest lodges. These are often positioned near areas for fantastic wildlife sightings. High wildlife areas include clay licks. The presence of clay licks means almost guaranteed sightings of many colorful parrots. And you even have a higher chance of spotting jaguar and other rare wildlife that wait for prey.
The following deep Amazon lodges have been chosen as they offer the highest chances for seeing a range of wildlife. Spot some of the icons of the Amazon Rainforest, such as macaws, jaguar, and some of the largest primates.

Short Amazon Tours
Ideal tours for a few days in the rainforest mirror the best tours for budget experiences. A lodge in a wildlife-rich section of forest close to a gateway town is the preference. This means it doesn’t take long to reach the lodge and so you have more time to spend in the Amazon.
Because it doesn’t take a long time to reach the lodge, operators spend less money on fuel. This saves you money and mean these lodges can also be the best places for a budget experience. That is of course unless you choose to treat yourself at a luxurious and exclusive lodge, such as the Amazon Villa.
A great place to enjoy tours for a few days in the Amazon is Puerto Maldonado in Peru as the Tambopata National Reserve is so close to the town.
A favorite lodge for a short experience of 3-days, and a top pick for visitors wanting an Amazon add-on for Machu Picchu is the Posada Amazonas.
