ITINERARY
Day 1:
Arrive in Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios, and take a 2-hour bus and half-boat ride to the jungle lodge. A local welcome drink and a brief introduction to your hotel in the jungle, spacious accommodation with bar, swimming pool and buffet in the Tambopata National Reserve, the furthest sanctuary from Puerto Maldonado, surrounded by monkeys and various species of birds.
Accommodation includes rooms from 24 m2 to 68 m2, apartments with private bathrooms and open windows overlooking the forest.
This afternoon we have a two or three kilometer introductory hike through the jungle, information about the main medicinal plants and at the same time a great opportunity to spot seven different species of monkeys and a walk of different birds in the jungle will be unforgettable.A visit to our 50 m high covered tower completes this first experience.
You have the opportunity to go out by boat in the evening and see the black and white caimans along the Tambopata River. Seeing the reptile in its privileged habitat is an amazing experience
Day 2:
Amazon wildlife uses the first light of day because it’s cooler, and so do we. Even if you are on holiday our guides encourage you to do early morning activities and it is well worth it.
Year-round, dozens of great macaws and hundreds of parrots flock to this magnificent levee in a boisterous and colorful spectacle that inspired a cover of National Geographic, obviously much better in the dry season. Sixty to eighty meters from the cliff we will discreetly observe green, scarlet and blue and gold winged macaws as well as several species of smaller parrots descending to devour the clay. Visits occur at dawn when licking is most active.Breakfast is served in front of the Clay Lick Chuncho Macaw.
After lunch we will have time to repack and take our backpacks back to the river first and then the car back to Puerto Maldonado.
From Puerto Maldonado we will travel to a second nature reserve on the Madre de Dios River by motorboat arriving at the selected lodge in the evening to rest after a long day and recover energy for the next day.
Day 3
Following a hearty breakfast, venture on a scenic 3-kilometer trek through the verdant Amazon rainforest to the captivating Lake Sandoval. As you traverse the lush pathways, the symphony of exotic bird calls and rustling leaves fills the air, immersing you in the enchanting wilderness. Upon reaching the tranquil shores of Lake Sandoval, the world opens up to a realm of natural wonder – reflections of towering trees dance on the pristine water’s surface, and the possibility of encountering elusive wildlife stirs the excitement within.
After lunch, if you have energy, you can go for a canopy walkway or if you like, you can leave it for the next day before breakfast.
In the evening unveils yet another opportunity to witness the remarkable diversity of the jungle as it comes alive with nocturnal creatures. After an exhilarating day of exploration, indulge in a delicious dinner amidst the jungle’s embrace, followed by a well-deserved rest, lulled by the soothing sounds of the wilderness that surrounds you.
