You will be staying in jungle ecolodges in the Tambopata National Reserve based on double occupancy. 

An incredible opportunity to discover a lively biodiversity of birds, mammals, reptiles and trees in the Peru Amazon!

Your Amazon adventure begins when you will be picked from the airport in Puerto Maldonado. You’ll then drive for 10 minutes to your Puerto Maldonado headquarters. If you have any luggage that you won’t need during the next few days, you can safely leave it here, which will help keep the boats and cargo light.
You’ll then drive to the Tambopata River Port, entering the native community of Infierno. From here it’s a beautiful 45-minute boat ride to the lodge in the community’s primary forest reserve. On arrival at the lodge, the manager will welcome you and give you important navigation and security tips.  
After you’ve had lunch and settled in, you’ll head off on a 20-minute walk that leads to the 30-meter canopy tower. From the platforms above, you’ll have spectacular views of the vast expanse of rainforest, with the Tambopata River winding through it. You’ll also see toucans, parrots and macaws as they fly over the jungle, with many other birds in the treetops right next to you.   
Returning to the lodge, you’ll have a delicious dinner and you can watch the nightly presentation about the Infierno ecotourism project, given by a local staff member. 
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Your Amazon Adventure Begins

Today you’ll set off to the Three Chimbadas oxbow lake. You’ll board your boat and cruise along the river for 30 minutes, followed by a beautiful 45-minute hike. Once you reach the lake, you can paddle around the lake on a catamaran, searching for the resident family of nine giant river otters! You will also see plenty of other animals, including caiman, hoatzin and horned screamers.  
Afterwards you'll take a 20-minute boat drive downriver that leads to a trail designed by the staff of the Centro Ñape. The Centro Ñape is a communal organization that produces medicines out of forest plants and administers them to patients at their little clinic. The trail leads through the various medicinal plants, and your local guide can tell you all about their properties and their various uses.   
Later, you'll head out on a night walk. Many animals are still active after dark, but they are obviously hard to see. But some creatures, like frogs, are much easier to find. And the sound of the jungle at night is quite an experience, making these nocturnal excursions very memorable. 
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Three Chimbadas Oxbow Lake, Ethnobotanical Tour and Night Walk

Today you’ll head to a wonderful parrot clay lick, which is only a 20-minute walk from lodge. From a hide located about 20 meters away, you will see dozens of colorful parrots and parakeets as they come to ingest the clay on the river bank, which contains important minerals. Species you can see here include southern mealy parrots, yellow-headed Amazon parrots, blue-headed parrots and dusky-headed parakeets. The clay lick is most active at dawn, during the late mornings and mid-afternoons. You'll head back to the lodge and then set off on your second adventure of the day, a two-hour trek to see the largest tree in the area: the giant ceiba tree. During the hike your guide will tell you more about the natural history of the rainforest and its principal taxonomic groups, and point out many of the incredible plants that grow in this ecosystem.  
On your return to the lodge you’ll have a tasty lunch before heading downriver for 30 minutes to visit the most complete farm in the community of Infierno. The owner grows a diverse variety of Amazonian crops, some of which are quite common and others that are largely unknown outside of the Amazon Basin. In his garden, just about every plant and tree serves a purpose, and he’ll tell you all about them. After this fascinating trip to the farm, you’ll head back to the lodge for dinner – and maybe a drink or two at the bar.
