Tour program

Day 1

Join trip in Puerto Maldonado, transfer to Amazon lodge

Our extension trip starts at the airport in Puerto Maldonado. If you're joining from another of our tours, and we're booking these international flights for you, we'll book the internal flight from the end point of your trip to Puerto Maldonado. It's worth noting that even if you're booking your own international flights, we can still book this connecting flight to Puerto Maldonado for you - please speak to our customer services team. Otherwise, we ask that you arrive at the airport no later than 3pm to avoid taking your boat journey by night. The Amazon Basin sprawls over two-fifths of South America, including a massive 60% of Peru, and is the most bio-diverse environment in the world. After Brazil, Peru is home to the largest section of the Amazon Rainforest, of which only a fraction is easily accessible. From the port in Puerto Maldonado, we'll travel along the Tambopata River by motorised canoe (a journey of approximately 40 minutes) and check into our Amazon lodge. Depending on the arrival time, this afternoon our local guide will take us on an exploration of the jungle trails surrounding the Field Station, discovering the tropical trees, medicinal plants, insects, butterflies and other animals we see en route. In the evening, we'll have a float along the Madre De Dios River in search of the wildlife that surfaces during the night such as capybaras, white caimans and nightjars. The lodge is comfortable but as it's in such a remote location, the electricity is provided by a generator and is only available for certain hours of the day. Please note, this is a stand-alone extension and can be booked on any date of your choosing, subject to availability. Whilst this itinerary has been designed to complement several of our group tours, we'd like to point out that it's not a group experience and you're unlikely to be travelling with other Explore customers.

Day 2

In the Amazon Jungle, canopy walk and Sandoval Lake

We'll spend this morning on the Inkaterra Canopy Walkway, which is a 1,129-foot system of two observation towers, eight platforms and seven hanging bridges 30 metres/100 feet above the ground. The walkway is designed to perform scientific research on the ecosystems inhabiting the rainforest canopy and gives us an unobstructed view of the wildlife and birds. The activities and tours at the Inkaterra are planned for the morning and afternoon when it's cooler. Each day there'll be a few hours of downtime after lunch to relax or read in the heart of the rainforest. During the afternoon, we'll take a 30-minute boat ride, entering the territory of the Tambopata Reserve. We'll walk 5 kilometres/0.6 miles through the dense vegetation of the tropical rainforest, looking out for snakes, monkeys and birds, to Sandoval Lake. Numerous species of animals live near the lake - keep your eyes out for kingfishers, cormorants, squirrel monkeys, and capuchin monkeys. At the lake itself, we might see giant river otters, black caimans and piranhas. This is also the habitat of the giant arapaima, a fish of more than 2.5 metres, weighing in at more than 200 kilograms.

Day 3

In the Amazon Jungle, boat ride and Inkaterra experience

This morning, we'll take a 20-minute boat ride to the river island near our lodge, a large sandbank at the shores of the Madre De Dios River. With our local guide, we'll walk across the island to explore the floodplains that provide the island with an ecosystem, making it home to a great diversity of birds such as the Amazonian umbrella bird, one of the Amazon's most sought-after species by birdwatchers. We'll continue to visit the Inkaterra Association's Bio Orchard, where organic native goods are cultivated such as palms, vegetables and fruit. We'll learn the diverse phases of sustainable horticulture, the preparation of recycled compost, sowing and harvesting vegetables, fine herbs and tropical plants, using natural fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. The lodge is working as sustainably as possible, to help local communities protect their surroundings, and use the forest for good. During the afternoon, our local guide will show us the permanent plot area for rainforest restoration and conservation, and we'll learn about the survival mechanisms of the rainforest, exploring the meanings of the 19 native palm species. We'll take a night walk through the jungle, listening to the sounds of the birds, mammals, insects and amphibians that wander the forest at night, using the expertise of our local guide to try and spot them.

Day 4

Early morning boat to Puerto Maldonado and end trip at airport

Our Amazon adventure comes to an end today after breakfast and we'll travel back to Puerto Maldonado by motorised canoe before transferring to the airport. If you prefer, you can end your trip at the office in Puerto Maldonado and arrange a taxi transfer to the airport yourself at a time that better suits your itinerary. The office is a short taxi ride from the town and about 20 minutes by taxi from the airport. If you're booking your own flights, you should ensure that they depart from Puerto Maldonado no earlier than 11am.
