Itinerary

Dive into the heart of the Amazon with a thrilling 2-day jungle adventure in Puerto Maldonado, Peru’s gateway to the Madre de Dios rainforest and Tambopata National Reserve. This unforgettable journey plunges you deep into one of the world’s most biodiverse regions, where every day brings new sights, sounds, and discoveries. From spotting exotic wildlife to connecting with local communities, these tours blend adrenaline-pumping excursions with authentic cultural experiences. 

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, adventure-seekers, and curious explorers alike.

  • DAY 1 – WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!

    You will be picked-up at from the airport or bus station and transferred to the office for a tour briefing. Here you can use the internet and bathroom facilities and there are restaurants nearby where you can have breakfast before heading off on your adventure. Note the first breakfast is not included.

    Located only 15 minutes from Puerto Maldonado, is Yacumama Lake, which will be our first stop on our 2 day adventure. The lake is rich in biodiversity, surrounded by lush aguaje palm trees, providing a habitat for a variety of wildlife. Here we can observe numerous bird species, including parrots and macaws, especially during the early morning and late afternoon when these birds are most active, as well as caimans and monkeys. It is also a great place for piranha fishing, which you will have the opportunity to partake in.

    After this memorable experience we will take our transport to our lodge, which will take around 40 minutes. We will check into our rooms and have time for a delicious lunch. After a good rest we will head off on our afternoon activity.

    At around 4.30pm we will take part in our sunset afternoon activity where we will take a boat onto the Tambopata river to visit a “jungle beach” to see the sunset. We will also search for caimans, sloths, snakes and capybaras. We will return to the lodge at around 7.30pm/8pm where we will have dinner, followed by a good night sleep.

  • DAY 2 – PARROT CLAYLICK & LAGO SANDOVAL

    Today we will wake up early, an after breakfast make our way to the Parrot Clay lick, locally known as a collpa, which is a natural mineral deposit along riverbanks where parrots and macaws gather to consume the exposed minerals, aiding their digestion and neutralising toxins from their diet. Witnessing this behaviour offers a unique insight into the natural habits of these vibrant birds.

    From here we will head to Lake Sandoval, located in the National Reserve of Tambopata. It is the best way to see nature in its natural habitat including macaws, parrots, other bird species, monkeys, otters, caimans just to name a few. We will also have the opportunity to learn about different plant species, many which are used as natural medicines. The experience includes an easy walk along a wooden bridge for around 1 hour until we reach the lake, where we will canoe through the calm waters, observing monkeys, birds, caimans and with luck giant otters.

    Lunch this day will be served at a lodge located inside the National Reserve of Tambopata, on lake Sandoval.

  • End

    After soaking in this awe-inspiring display of Amazonian wildlife, we will make our way back to Puerto Maldonado, arriving at around 4.30pm-5pm.

    Note: Please let you know if you have an earlier flight so that we can make arrangements accordingly.
