DAY 1:
A full day introduction to the Amazon awaits us. From the Port of Capitania we will take 40-minute motor boat ride along the Madre de Dios River until we reach the Corto Maltes Amazonia lodge. A refreshing welcome fruit juice and a delicious lunch will give us the energy necessary to go out exploring. We will take a walking tour along a trail while our guide shows us a variety tropical trees, medicinal plants and other fascinating flora and fauna that inhabit the area. In addition, we will visit a “shiringuero” camp, where we will learn about the artisanal process of collecting latex or shiringa, one of the most important economic activities in the Madre de Dios region. During our down time at the lodge, we can relax in the pool or hammocks, have a cocktail at the bar or book a relaxing massage. As night falls it is time for the exciting “caiman safari,” a nighttime boat ride that will take us in search of these impressive reptiles and other animals that live on the banks of the river.
DAY 2:
Today we will visit one of the most beautiful lakes in the Tambopata National Reserve: Lake Sandoval. We will depart at sunrise, for a 20-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios River and then take a 3 km walk through the lush vegetation of the tropical jungle. The tour will allow us to admire gigantic trees and we will be on the lookout for encounters with other fascinating species of flora and fauna. Once we arrive at Lake Sandoval, aboard small rowboats, we will set off in search of giant otters, charming mammals that are in danger of extinction. We may also see species of reptiles, monkeys, such as cotomonkeys or capuchins, and characteristic birds such as the “shansho” and kingfishers in their natural habitat. Our guide will find the perfect spot on the lake, and we will enjoy breakfast while observing the impressive environment that surrounds us. Back on dry land we will go to an observation tower, designed for observing birds and other species from the heights of the forest canopy. We will also visit a chestnut camp, another of the most important economic activities in the area.
DAY 3:
We will have an interesting day of cultural immersion with activities, meeting some local families in the area. A short trip upriver will take us to the farm of a rural family on a piece of land with a variety of trees maintained with great care, without the use of chemicals. We will learn about the different native plants that grow naturally in the area and that the family then takes to the main market of Puerto Maldonado to sell. We can even taste different seasonal tropical fruits and other native products such as cocoa, cocona, tree bread, noni, and more. In addition, we will visit a family of Machiguenga natives, one of the many ethnic groups or indigenous peoples that exist in the Peruvian Amazon. With them, we will learn about the cultural value of their ancestors, their language and customs, including hunting arts, their colorful crafts and the music they play during ayahuasca ceremonies. We will be able to see how they take advantage of natural products for the manufacture of tools, homes, and typical clothing, and we will enjoy a native lunch in one of the buildings of this small community. It will be a day full of learning.
DAY 4:
We begin our last day early, leaving at dawn for a 20 – minute walk that will take us to the parrot clay lick. There, from a strategic point, we can see between three and five different species of parrots and macaws, birds that usually arrive in the morning in search of their food: a special type of clay that is essential for their metabolism. It will be a tremendous spectacle of sound and color! After breakfast, we will leave the lodge to make our way back to the city of Puerto Maldonado. We will have the opportunity to visit the local market in the city before going to the airport, where we can discover the immense variety of exotic local products and get to know this place that is so active and important in the daily lives of the locals. Plus, it can be a good place to find a last-minute souvenir.
