Itinerary
- The night before, at 8:00 p.m., we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and take you to the bus station, where you will board a first-class sleeper bus (with seats that recline 160°) bound for Puerto Maldonado.
- Upon your arrival, our team will welcome you with a tropical welcome drink and escort you to your private bungalow, surrounded by nature.
- We'll start with an introductory walk through the jungle, where you'll discover medicinal plants, exotic birds, interesting insects, and, with any luck, monkeys in the wild.
- Then you'll enjoy an adrenaline-filled adventure on our adventure course, which includes a zip line and a suspension bridge over the jungle.
- In the afternoon, after lunch, we’ll take a boat ride down the river in search of wildlife, taking in a magical Amazonian sunset. As night falls, we’ll set out under the stars in search of caimans and capybaras.
- At dawn, we’ll cruise downstream toward the Tambopata National Reserve. We’ll set out on a 3-km hike where you’ll be able to spot tropical birds, monkeys, and giant spiders.
We will arrive at the majestic Lake Sandoval, where we will board a rowboat to explore its calm waters, home to piranhas, turtles, butterflies, monkeys, and the Amazon giant otter, an endangered species. - In the afternoon, we'll return to the lodge to rest and enjoy dinner.
- The evening culminates with a bonfire in the middle of the jungle, accompanied by the sound of crickets, local stories, and a starry sky like no other.
- Very early in the morning, we’ll set off for the parrot and macaw clay lick, where dozens of brightly colored birds gather to feed on the clay.
You’ll get an up-close look at this natural ritual that combines color, sound, and pure energy. - Then we’ll enjoy a kayaking trip on the Tambopata River, paddling through stunning jungle scenery.
- In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to relax, and as night falls, we’ll go on a night hike to explore the mysterious world of the jungle under the moonlight: insects, amphibians, and nocturnal animals will accompany you on this fascinating experience.
- After breakfast, we’ll take a walk through our conservation forest, where you’ll see Brazil nut trees, a vital resource for many Amazonian communities. You’ll learn about sustainable harvesting and the benefits of this sacred fruit.
Along the way, you’ll be able to spot sloths, snakes, and tropical birds that inhabit the area. - Then we'll head back to the hostel to pack your bags and take you to the bus station.
- The return bus departs at 9:00 p.m. and arrives in Cusco in the morning. Our team will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in comfort.

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.
