Itinerary
- The night before, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 8:00 p.m. to take you to the bus station and board the tourist bus to Puerto Maldonado. The bus features reclining seats that recline up to 160°, making it ideal for resting comfortably during the trip.
- Upon your arrival, our team will welcome you and escort you to your eco-friendly bungalow, nestled in the peaceful jungle.
- We’ll start with an introductory hike through the rainforest, where you’ll be able to see a wide variety of medicinal plants, insects, birds, and monkeys in their natural habitat.
- After lunch, get your adrenaline pumping on our adventure course, which includes a zip line and suspension bridges over the jungle.
- In the afternoon, we’ll cruise down the Madre de Dios River in search of wildlife and enjoy an unforgettable Amazonian sunset. As night falls, we’ll go on a nighttime river safari to observe caimans and capybaras in their natural habitat.
- At dawn, we’ll sail downstream to the Tambopata National Reserve, where we’ll begin a 3-km hike through the jungle, home to monkeys, birds, and giant spiders.
Upon reaching Lake Sandoval, we’ll board a rowboat to explore its calm waters. Here you can admire piranhas, turtles, butterflies, exotic birds, and, with luck, the majestic Amazon Giant Otter, an endangered species. - In the afternoon, we'll head back to the hostel to rest and enjoy dinner.
- We ended the day with a campfire under the stars, accompanied by stories, music, and the sounds of the jungle.
- Very early in the morning, we’ll set out for the parrot and macaw clay lick, where hundreds of colorful birds gather every morning to feed on mineral clay, creating a natural spectacle unlike any other in the world.
- After breakfast, we’ll take a walk through our conservation forest, where you’ll see the towering Brazil nut trees and, with any luck, spot sloths, snakes, and tropical birds.
- After this experience, we will return to the lodge to pack up and head to Puerto Maldonado.
- In the evening, we’ll board the tour bus back to Cusco at 9:00 p.m., arriving at dawn, where our staff will be waiting to take you to your hotel.
