Arrival

After picking you up at the airport, we will take you to the office for the check-in. Then, we will transfer you to the eco-lodge, about 20 km away from the city of Puerto Maldonado. A delicious fresh tropical fruit drink will await you at your arrival. After leaving your luggage in the rooms, you will be redirected to the dining room to enjoy a meal of typical local food.

Botanical Garden

Your first activity will be to visit the botanical garden. There, our guide will introduce you to the richness of the medicinal plants and explain how the indigenous people used them to cure themselves.

Aguajal trail – Canopy walk

We will continue our activities with the visit of the vast “aguajal”, a great ecosystem of palm trees in a swamp area, habitat of many animals like the green parrot. Our walk will take us to the hanging bridge in the canopy. From the top of the bridge at a height of 12 meters, we will observe the rich wildlife of the rainforest such as birds, monkeys. This is also a beautiful viewpoint to witness the sunset. Back at the eco-lodge, a comforting diner will be waiting for us.

After the restful night at sunrise you will hear the singing of birds and some mammals.

WALKING WITH THE GIANTS

After finishing our generous breakfast, we will head to the nearby rainforest and walk by the giant trees such as the Brazilian nut tree or the lupuna, a mytical tree for the indigenous people. Surrounded by the rainforest, you can at times also see parrots, sloths, toucans, monkeys and strange-looking insects. Duration of the walk: 2.30 hours. To wash off the heat of the morning, you can head to the swimming pool and enjoy a relaxing time in the fresh water coming right from our spring. For lunch, you will be served a tasty dish of the local cuisine.

SANTA TERESA LAKE

After a comforting break, we will continue our program with the visit of a lovely lake in the community of Santa Teresa, a private protected area. This place is unique for bird watching. Macaws, green parrots, blue-headed parrots, parakeets and many more can be seen there. They usually build their nests at the top of the dead palm trees growing everywhere around the lake. The lake also offers the possibility to do sports fishing for piranhas. At night, the piranhas go out hunting: it is the perfect moment to fish for these water predators. At the end of this activity, we will return to the city of Puerto Maldonado where our program comes to an end.
