| Day 1: Flight to Puerto Maldonado, boat trip to the lodge, excursions. Accommodation in jungle lodge |
daily program |
| In the morning, you will fly to Puerto Maldonado from Cusco or Lima. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by your local tour conductor. Your heavy luggage is safe in our local office. This way you can travel to the jungle ‘light’. The boat trip on the Madre de Dios takes about forty minutes. After lunch, you will have to make yourself at home in your bungalow. Then it will be time for our first jungle expedition, a three hour walk. You’ll marvel at the variety of tropical trees, medicinal plants, birds, insects and butterflies. At night, we depart on a Cayman safari, since alligators can best be observed after dark. After dinner, you’ll enjoy the sounds of the jungle. Try out a new nature game: find the Southern cross and other constellations of the Southern hemisphere. |

| Day 2: Excursions on foot and on a boat. Accommodation in jungle lodge |
daily program |
| Today you’ll wake up bright and early (we’ll set the alarm clock!), so you won’t miss the parrots’ “breakfast”. Different parrot species eat mineral clay at the salt lick nearby our lodge. It will take us about 20 minutes to walk there. After this morning hike, your breakfast will be served. You then go on to visit Monkey Island. After a short boat journey, we will continue on foot. After about 5 km- hike through the Tambopata Candamo National Park, we’ll reach the shores of the Sandoval Lake, truly a little piece of heaven. Here, many different species live together; birds (hoatzins, kingfishers, cormorants) and monkeys (squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, capuchins). If you’re lucky, you’ll also spot giant otters or anacondas. At the end of this fun day, dinner and a relaxing night await you at the lodge. |
