Posada Amazonas is located within a communal reserve of more than 9500 hectares, belonging to a Native Community on the Tambopata River, in Madre de Dios - Peru. To begin your tour of the Amazon rainforest, take a quick plane trip from Lima to the city of Puerto Maldonado in southeastern Peru. After welcoming you at the airport, we will take you to our office 5 minutes away to freshen up and prepare for the trip to the lodge. RECOMMENDATIONS: Arrival to Puerto Maldonado before 1 PM to prevent losing lunch and first activities on the Program. Departure after 11 AM. **The passengers have to be vaccinated against the Yellow Fever**

DAY 1:
Arriving in Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios, join the transfer of 1 hour by bus and 1 hour by boat to the lodge. Your first tasting of our Amazonian cuisine will be during the boat trip, while you leave the city behind and enjoy the incredible landscapes during the tour.
What to expect at Refugio Amazonas? – A charming refuge in the middle of a chestnut forest, with a bar, massage room, and dining room service. With the Tambopata National Reserve behind him. This eco-hostel is the headquarters of Wired Amazon, the first citizen science project to turn its guests into citizen scientists.
A half-hour walk from the lodge takes us to the 35-meter-high canopy tower, a staircase with railings will provide us with safe access to the top of the tower, from which we can contemplate the impressive forest of the National Reserve of Tambopata. From the top, it is also possible to see different species of birds such as toucans, macaws, and raptors among other species.
You will have the option of taking a night walk through the jungle when most of the mammals are active but difficult to see. Easier to find are frogs with shapes and sounds as strange as their natural stories.
Your accommodation: A 45 m2 room, with mosquito nets over the beds, a private bathroom, and a window open to the forest, which maximizes contact with nature.

DAY 2:
On most clear mornings of the year, dozens of large macaws and hundreds of parrots congregate on this large river bank in a raucous and colorful spectacle that inspired a National Geographic cover story. Discretely located fifty meters from the cliff, we will observe Green-winged, Scarlet, and Blue-and-gold Macaws and several species of smaller parrots descend to ingest clay. Outings are at dawn when the lick is most active.
You can navigate around Lake Condenado, looking for wildlife such as the hoatzin or Shansho, which is said to be a pre-historic bird! Alligators, Martin fishermen among other species, if we are lucky will be able to observe a family of otters that inhabit its waters and are difficult to see. You will be able to discover the difference between the ecosystem of a lake and a river and who knows, maybe you will be rewarded with macaws flying over the treetops.
A visit to the organic farm of our dear neighbor Don Manuel, located just five minutes by river from the hostel, will show you the various crops typical of the area and you will be surprised with fruits that you did not know.

DAY 3:
Our expedition came to an end. It’s time to say goodbye and say goodbye! We will return to the airport for your domestic flight. Thank you for your visit. This contributes directly to the Wired Amazon Project and its efforts to conserve and learn about the biodiversity of the Tambopata National Reserve.
