 Jungle
Adventure
Start: daily
Day 1: Arrive in Puerto Maldonado and
Explorer’s Inn
Reception at the
airport in Puerto Maldonado, boat trip on the Tambopata to the
lodge. On the trip we can see turtles, caimans and waterfowl. After
about 3 hours we arrive at the lodge. We are now deep inside the
rainforest and surrounded by its sounds. After a little rest, we
take a short trip to a small lake and return in time to enjoy the
sunset in the jungle. For a short night trip we board the boats
again to observe caimans by the light of the flashlights on the
 riverbank.
Upon return, we have dinner and the guides (scientists who live
temporarily at the lodge) are available to answer questions and
provide information about the Amazon rainforest.
Day 2: Lake Cocococha
After breakfast we
make our way, accompanied by a guide, to the meander of Lake
Cocococha, about 5 km away. On the way we see exotic plants,
insects, colorful butterflies, birds, monkeys and if we are lucky,
maybe some large mammals. We take the boats a little into the
 lake
to observe the life of the wild animals on its shores from there. We
return to the lodge for a slightly late lunch. The afternoon is free
for relaxation or individual activities.
Day 3: Puerto Maldonado
We get up early and have breakfast.
Already on the way back to Puerto Maldonado we can experience an
unforgettable sunrise on the Tambopata. Transfer to the airport for
the return flight.

 Day
2: Boat trip on the Tambopata
At daybreak
we board the boats for a 5 to 6 hour cruise up the Tambopata river
into the intact jungle where we can observe the exuberant life of
the wilderness. We pass waterfalls, beautiful sandy beaches with
swimming opportunities, basalt rock formations and some gold panning
spots. We have a small snack in the boat. In the late afternoon we
reach the «Colpa de Guacamayos», a 200 m high cliff of red earth,
where, for reasons still unknown, hundreds of Guacamayos and other
species of parrots gather every morning and evening to feed on the
mineral-rich earth. An unforgettable impression of sounds and
colors! We camp on a nearby beach.
Day 3: Clay Lick (Colpa)
Early in the
morning we observe the hustle and bustle on the Colpa. Then return
to the lodge. If the water level allows, we make a small detour to a
clay lick on a tributary.
