–Overview of the route

In the morning, transfer to the airport and flight to Puerto Maldonado. Welcome at the airport and boat transfer to the Corto Maltés lodge. After lunch, your first encounter with the rainforest. A hike to discover a wide variety of medicinal plants, tropical trees, birds, insects, butterflies and other animals. A short stop at a lookout point to observe toucans, macaws and other birds. Back at the lodge, then before dinner, a night boat ride for a «caiman safari». Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Wake up at 5:30am for a short 20-minute walk to reach the parrot clay lick: a wonderful spectacle of colors. After breakfast, depart along the river for an expedition that will take you to Monkey Island, where several species live in the wild. Then, a 5 km hike through the lush vegetation of the rainforest to reach Lake Sandoval in the Tambopata-Candamo National Reserve. Many animal species live in this environment: birds (hoatzins, kingfishers, anhingas), different species of monkeys (squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys), otters, caimans and piranhas. Paddling across the lake by canoe until sunset is an absolutely unforgettable moment. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

After breakfast, you will navigate along the river for an hour and a half to visit a native community on Gamita Island. Two families will show you their customs, clothing and way of life. You will then visit a plantation where tropical fruits and other local products are grown (cacao, banana, coffee, cocona) and enjoy a lunch featuring typical local dishes. Back at the lodge, you can enjoy a relaxing late afternoon by the pool before dinner. Overnight at the lodge.

After breakfast, your guide will accompany you back to Puerto Maldonado where, depending on your flight time, you may be able to take a short visit to the market. Then, a flight to Lima in the late morning. Arrival in Lima and transfer to the Britania hotel. Free afternoon to enjoy the Peruvian capital. A chance for one last visit (Huaca Pucllana, a museum), a walk along the ocean, or some shopping at the large craft markets near the central park of Miraflores. Overnight at the hotel.

Transfer to the airport in Lima. End of our services.
