Itinerary
Itinerary:
Day 1: Welcome to the Jungle – Monkey Island & Caiman Spotting
Your adventure begins upon arrival in Puerto Maldonado, the gateway to the Tambopata National Reserve. Our team will meet you at the airport or bus station and transfer you to our office for check-in and safe luggage storage.
From there, we embark on a 40-minute motorboat journey along the Madre de Dios River, heading deep into the Amazon to our eco-lodge, surrounded by pristine rainforest.
After a delicious Amazonian lunch, we visit Monkey Island, home to various monkey species, including capuchins, tamarins, and squirrel monkeys. Watch them swing through the trees and, with some luck, they may approach to accept food from your hand.
After returning to the lodge, we set out for an exciting caiman spotting tour, searching for these nocturnal reptiles along the riverbanks.
Accommodation: Eco-lodge.
Meals: Lunch and dinner.
Day 2: Canopy Walk, Zip-Lining & Kayaking Adventure
Experience the Amazon from above with an exhilarating hanging canopy bridge and zip-lining tour.
The adventure begins with a climb to a treetop platform, where a 200-meter zip-line provides breathtaking views of the rainforest. The challenge continues with a suspended log walkway, 27 meters above the forest floor, leading to the second zip-line, a 160-meter descent back to the starting tower.
After lunch at the lodge, we take to the Madre de Dios River for a kayaking experience. Wearing high-quality life jackets and accompanied by a safety motorboat, we paddle through the calm waters, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the jungle.
In the evening, another nocturnal excursion is available, offering another opportunity for caiman spotting.
Accommodation: Eco-lodge.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and dinner.
Day 3: Sandoval Lake Expedition – Wildlife & Canoe Tour
After a hearty breakfast, we take a boat ride to the entrance of the Tambopata National Reserve and begin a one-and-a-half-hour jungle trek to reach the famous Sandoval Lake.
The trail winds through towering trees and dense vegetation, home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. Along the way, we may encounter giant river otters, exotic birds, colorful butterflies, turtles, and a variety of fish.
We then board a canoe to explore the tranquil waters of Sandoval Lake, one of the most stunning lakes in the Tambopata region. As we glide across the water, we observe wildlife in its natural habitat, surrounded by the lush rainforest.
After an unforgettable day, we return to the lodge for dinner and rest.
Accommodation: Eco-lodge.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and dinner.
Day 4: Native Family Visit & Rustic Fishing
In the morning, we travel downstream on the Madre de Dios River to visit the Ese Eja indigenous community. This cultural experience is part of the “Rescuing Cultural Values” project, where we learn about their language, traditions, clothing, and ancestral customs.
The Ese Eja people share their rich history as warriors and hunters, offering an insight into their way of life. This visit provides a unique opportunity for meaningful cultural exchange.
In the afternoon, we enjoy a rustic fishing experience on the Madre de Dios River. With traditional fishing techniques, we try our luck at catching species such as pictus catfish, armored catfish, and red-eye piranha.
As the day ends, we return to the lodge for dinner and relaxation.
Accommodation: Eco-lodge.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and dinner.
Day 5: Parrot & Parakeet Clay Lick – Return to Puerto Maldonado
Early in the morning, we visit one of the Amazon’s most spectacular natural wonders: the Parrot and Parakeet Clay Lick.
At sunrise, hundreds of parrots, macaws, and parakeets gather at clay walls along the riverbanks to feed on mineral-rich clay, which helps them neutralize toxins from their diet. This breathtaking display of color and sound is one of the most fascinating wildlife spectacles in the Amazon.
After returning to the lodge for breakfast, we take the boat back to Puerto Maldonado, marking the end of an incredible journey through the Tambopata Tours 5 Days 4 Nights.
