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.
