Itinerary
- The adventure begins the night before, when we pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 8:00 p.m. to take you to the bus station and board a sleeper bus (with seats that recline 160 degrees) bound for Puerto Maldonado, the gateway to the Peruvian Amazon.
- At dawn, our team will be waiting to give you a warm welcome with a refreshing tropical fruit juice and take you to your eco-friendly bungalow surrounded by nature.
- Once you've settled in, we'll set out on an introductory hike through the jungle, where you'll be able to see exotic plants, colorful insects, and birds typical of the Amazon rainforest.
- In the afternoon, get your adrenaline pumping on our adventure course, which includes a suspension bridge and a zip line through the jungle trees.
- After lunch, we boarded a motorboat on the Madre de Dios River to watch the Amazonian sunset, a natural spectacle of golden hues and reflections on the water.
- As night falls, we’ll set out on a nighttime river safari in search of caimans, capybaras, and nocturnal birds, experiencing the jungle at its finest.
- At dawn, we’ll travel downstream for an hour to enter the Tambopata National Reserve. From the dock, we’ll begin a 3-kilometer hike through the forest, spotting monkeys, tropical birds, and giant spiders.
- We will arrive at the majestic Lake Sandoval (300 meters above sea level), one of the most beautiful lakes in Peru, where we will take a rowboat to explore its lush biodiversity: piranhas, turtles, herons, butterflies, and giant river otters, an iconic species facing extinction.
- After lunch at the lodge, you’ll have some time to relax before heading back. At 8:00 p.m., we’ll take you to the terminal for your return trip to Cusco (bus at 9:00 p.m.).
- When you arrive in Cusco, our shuttle will be waiting to take you to your hotel, bringing to a close an adventure filled with life, nature, and the magic of the Amazon.

What Our Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 95 reviews Posted on TripAdvisor Caio CVerified The best experience The best company in terms of organization and punctuality, and the guides are perfect. I will definitely use their services again. As for the experience at Machu Picchu, the guide was exceptional, attentive, and very clear in his explanations—I highly recommend them.Posted on TripAdvisor Aline SVerified Excellent I can’t thank Peru Andean Exploor enough for all their care, attention to safety, and, above all, their impeccable organization. They were always very attentive, providing information in advance, and extremely punctual and clear with schedules and instructions. The hotels they chose and the restaurant reservations were excellent, and I can’t help but mention the guides: everyone who took care of us was friendly, attentive, and made our trip even more special and enchanting, beyond the beauty of the gorgeous Inca city. If I could give a thousand stars, I would do so without a second thought! If you want to explore Cusco and enjoy an experience with top-notch service, I recommend Peru Andean Exploor without hesitation!Posted on TripAdvisor Mariane SVerified Excellent A wonderful experience—everything went perfectly, and I’ll cherish this memory for the rest of my life. I highly recommend Andean’s services.Posted on TripAdvisor Gavrilo KVerified Great company I was very skeptical when I received the offer because it was 20–30% cheaper than the competition, but I found good reviews and decided to go with them. Absolutely everything went perfectly—even better than expected. I led a group of 28 people to Peru, and it wasn’t easy managing such a large group, especially since it was my first time working with this agency. However, I was truly impressed. Two people canceled the trip a month before departure, and the Machu Picchu tickets couldn’t be changed, so we had to buy new ones on the spot. The agency accompanied us from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, and then their staff welcomed us in Aguas Calientes and guided us through the process of buying tickets for the two people who joined later. Incredible service. Very professional and responsible. The guides were good, the buses/vans were good, and the price was very fair. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Highly recommended agency, and I will definitely work with them again for future tours.Posted on TripAdvisor Letícia LimaVerified An incredible and safe experience I highly recommend Andean Exploor. From the moment I arrived in Peru, I was assisted by Yolanda (who helped me book the package). I received full support with transportation for the tours and to the airports, as well as tours that included admission and meals—all while feeling completely safe. They took care of all the logistics for me, and the experience was absolutely worth it. Communication is clear and straightforward, and when any normal travel hiccups arise, we have direct support from them.Posted on TripAdvisor Lisette GVerified An excellent experience Yolanda, the coordinator, was always on top of everything, and the guides and drivers were very punctual and responsible.Posted on TripAdvisor Caroline FVerified A smooth tour and an amazing time!! The tour went extremely smoothly, from the pickup in Cusco to the train station and all the way to the town outside Machu Picchu. My tour guide, John, was so funny and really knowledgeable, and he made the whole experience amazing.Posted on TripAdvisor Luana DVerified Very organized and welcoming Very good, I recommend it. Very organized. Very attentive.Posted on TripAdvisor Erica SVerified Machu Picchu An amazing experience.
