Itinerary
Day 01: Cusco to
Puerto Maldonado
We will pick you up early from your Cusco accommodations and chauffeur you to the nearby Alejandro Velasco Astete airport for your domestic flight to Puerto Maldonado, the biodiversity capital of the world. Keep your eye on the horizon as we transition from high sierra to lush, lowland rainforest. Upon arrival, you will receive a city tour of Puerto Maldonado and learn how this small town, founded by rubber barons in 1912, has received worldwide fame. We will then embark by boat onto the Madre de Dios river, where we will see turtles, black caimans, herons, and egrets. We will arrive at our Amazon lodge where we will enjoy lunch before kayaking to the nearby Monkey Island, home to, you named it, many species of monkeys! Upon return to our lodge, we will eat a delicious dinner and then settle into private bungalows for the evening. Showers and toilets will be available.

SANDOVAL LAKE

Here, we will see black caimans, river otters, many species of birds, and if we’re lucky, maybe even a jaguar! We will return to the lodge for lunch and then head to an Amazon Observatory, which sits on top of a ginormous, Shihuahuaco tree, from which you will receive a breath-taking panoramic view of the jungle. In the afternoon, you will have the choice of relaxing in an Amazonian pool, fishing, or exploring the jungle canopy by zipline. By night, we will eat a delicious dinner and you’ll be invited to join us for a night hike to look for nocturnal animals such as frogs, snakes, and insects.
