DAY 1

ARRIVAL

Upon arrival, we will transfer you to the office for check-in. Then, we will travel approximately 20 km along the Interoceanic Highway to reach the lodge. Upon arrival, you will receive a refreshing tropical fruit drink before heading to the dining room to enjoy a typical meal.

BOTANICAL GARDEN

Your first visit will be to the botanical garden. There, the guide will explain the plants with medicinal properties and how the native communities use them. Following this, we will have lunch featuring a typical dish from the region.

AGUAJAL TRAIL – CANOPY WALK

In the afternoon, we will continue our activities by venturing into the vast aguajal (swamp forest), where we will be surrounded by lush palm trees, a habitat for many animals. Continuing along the trail, we will reach the canopy walkway, suspended between two rainforest trees. At this point, we will ascend to the platform for birdwatching, monkey observation, and other wildlife viewing; you will also be able to enjoy the sunset. A hearty dinner awaits us back at the lodge.

DAY 2

COLPA CACHUELA

Very early at dawn (4:30 a.m.), we will depart for the dock to board a boat to Colpa Cachuela, where we can observe the variety of parrots and parakeets that perch on the clay before eating it. After this spectacular sight, we will have breakfast on board the boat, enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Madre de Dios River.

LAKE SANDOVAL

Immediately afterward, we will continue our journey along the Madre de Dios River for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Upon arriving at the Tambopata National Reserve (274,000 protected hectares), we will hike 3 km to Lake Sandoval. Along the way, we may see monkeys (capuchin, squirrel, howler, etc.), birds, and other mammals. This wonderful place is home to a diverse array of animal species, including birds (such as hoatzins, herons, and anhingas). Sailing on the lake, we’ll hopefully catch a glimpse of river otters and caimans. Midday, we’ll stop at a local family home for a traditional jungle meal. After lunch, we’ll return to the boat and sail for a while longer before heading back to the port of Puerto Maldonado, where our program concludes.
