Amazon Rainforest: 4 or 5-Day Tour
4-Day Tour
Day 1: Puerto Maldonado - Tambopata
On the first day of the tour, we'll pick you up from the airport or bus station in Puerto Maldonado and take you to the starting point for our tour. Here, we'll give you an introduction to our itinerary for the next four days, before we climb into our all-terrain vehicle for a two-hour drive into the Amazon Rainforest.
We'll reach the banks of the Tambopata River, where we'll board a boat to the lodge, where we'll stay for the next few days. In the afternoon, after settling into our cabins, we'll then enjoy a delicious lunch.
In the afternoon, we'll take a walk around the surrounding jungle in search of different animals in their natural habitat. Then, you'll have the rest of the day free. See you again tomorrow!
Day 2: Macaw Clay Lick - Monkey Island
We'll get up bright and early to head to El Chuncho, the largest macaw clay lick in the world, and we'll set off on a 1.5-hour boat trip to see the incredible wildlife that inhabits the area. Keep your eyes peeled for capybaras, jaguars, and tapirs!
Climbing out of the boat, we'll delve into the jungle to witness the unique sight of 11 different species of macaw on the clay walls that have been formed by erosion. You'll be captivated by their vibrant colors!
Then, we'll continue our route to the botanical garden, where you'll learn about species of fruit trees, wood trees and medicinal plants in the area. After this visit, we'll return to the accommodation to pick up our belongings and head to the next hotel in Sandoval Lake.
After settling in, you'll enjoy a full lunch. In the afternoon, we'll have the chance to visit Monkey Island. We'll cross the Madre de Dios River, and once at our destination, we'll see different families such as the Gracile capuchin monkey and the Guianan squirrel monkey that live on this island.
Por la noche, iremos en busca de caimanes, con los que podremos sacarnos alguna foto. ¡El broche de oro perfecto! Después, regresaremos al alojamiento para cenar y descansar.
At night, we'll go in search of caimans to get a photo. You'll love it! Then, we'll go back to base for dinner and to rest.
Day 3: Sandoval Lake
Our day will start with a hike of 1.86 mi (3 km) through the tropical jungle, where we'll walk on impressive trails filled with trees over 500 years old until we reach Sandoval Lake, one of the largest lakes in the Tambopata National Reserve.
On this 2-hour boat ride, you'll witness the wonders of nature in the Amazonian jungle. If you're lucky, you'll even see families of giant otters or alligators. Once we end the tour, we'll return to your hotel to rest and enjoy a tasty lunch.
At night, we'll embark on a night hike to see the wide variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, and nocturnal animals. After our hike, we'll return to the hotel to have dinner and rest.
Day 4: Canopy Walk
On the fourth day, we'll wake up early for a walk around the hanging bridges on the Canopy Walk. We'll spend the morning in the treetops with incredible views over this area of Peru. Can you picture being 30 metres (100 feet) up in the trees?
After this activity, we'll revitalise with a delicious breakfast and take you back to Puerto Maldonado, where we'll say our goodbyes at midday and end the tour.
5-Day Tour
On this 5-day tour, the first 3 days will be the same as the 4-day tour. On the fourth day, instead of going back to Puerto Maldonado, we'll go on a hiking route around Lake Sandoval. Then, we'll explore its waters in a traditional rowing canoe to try and spot piranhas. When the sun sets, we'll go on a night walk in this spectacular area.
The next day (day 5), we'll take you back to Puerto Maldonado.
