Upon arrival at Puerto Maldonado airport*, you will be met by your guide and transferred to the boat dock on the Tambopata River (approx 45 min transfer). Here you will continue your journey by boat along the Madre de Dios (Winding River) to reach your jungle lodge. On route you will likely spot a variety of wildlife including Caiman, River Turtles and a wide variety of bird life. Depending on your arrival time at the lodge your guide will take you on a guided walk of the area surrounding the lodge before dinner.

Please note that you will need to arrive at the airport no later than 3pm to allow enough time to transfer to your lodge.

Over the next two days, immerse yourself in the extraordinary biodiversity of the Tambopata Reserve. Accompanied by expert local guides, you'll explore the surrounding rainforest, rivers, and oxbow lakes on foot and by both motorized and paddle canoe.

While much of the Amazon's wildlife remains hidden in the thick jungle, patient observation often reveals a remarkable array of species. Keep your eyes open for colourful macaws, herons, egrets, jacanas, and the distinctive, prehistoric-looking hoatzin. The forests are also home to several monkey species, a variety of reptiles and insects, and—if luck is on our side—the elusive and endangered Giant River Otter, which inhabits the waterways of the Amazon Basin.

Each journey into the forest reveals something new, whether it’s the eerie call of a distant howler monkey, the sudden flash of iridescent wings, or the silent glide of a canoe beneath the canopy. It’s a true immersion into one of the most vibrant and vital ecosystems on Earth.

A second day of exploration of the Tambopata Reserve on foot and by canoe. Our day begins with another early wake up call to watch the sunrise before breakfast.

A full and detailed itinerary for each day will be provided with your confirmation.

After breakfast our Amazon adventure ends with the return journey to Puerto Maldonado by boat, followed by a transfer to the airport. If booking your own flights you should ensure that they depart from Puerto Maldonado no earlier than 11am.

*Please note that itineraries may vary slightly to maximize wildlife viewing, depending on the reports of our local researchers and experienced naturalist guides.
