About us

We are a unique network of biological stations dedicated to research and education purposes, led by Conservación Amazónica – ACCA.

At our stations, visitors can enjoy authentic experiences near Manu National Park, where the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon Rainforest, while actively supporting the conservation of the most biodiverse forest on Earth.

For more than 20 years, our biological stations have hosted scientific projects and academic courses from prestigious universities around the world, while also developing conservation initiatives and sustainable alternatives for neighbouring communities.

Location

We operate three biological stations strategically located along the Andean-Amazonian gradient, between Cusco and Madre de Dios.

These areas host a wide range of ecosystems, enabling the observation of endemic birds and mammals from puna grasslands to Amazonian rainforests, across the vast Madre de Dios River basin. The region’s unique altitudinal gradient is key to studying, understanding, and witnessing the impacts of climate change in the basin, as it represents a microcosm of the larger Amazon and provides scientists with an ideal setting for climate and biodiversity research.
