  The detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube has opened a
new window on our Universe. While IceCube has measured the flux of these
neutrinos at energies up to several PeV, much remains to be discovered
regarding their origin and nature. Currently, measurements are limited by the
small sample size of astrophysical neutrinos and by the difficulty of
discriminating between electron and tau neutrinos. TAMBO is a next-generation
neutrino observatory specifically designed to detect tau neutrinos in the 1-100
PeV energy range, enabling tests of neutrino physics at high energies and the
characterization of astrophysical neutrino sources. The observatory will
comprise an array of water Cherenkov and plastic scintillator detectors
deployed on the face of the Colca Canyon in the Peruvian Andes. This unique
geometry will facilitate a high-purity measurement of astrophysical tau
neutrino properties. In this talk, I will present the prospects of TAMBO in the
context of next-generation neutrino observatories and provide an overview of
its current status.
