Day 1: Welcome to the Jungle & Monkey Encounter

Your expedition begins upon arrival at the airport or bus station in Puerto Maldonado. Our team will welcome you and take you to our main office, where you’ll receive important information about your upcoming rainforest adventure.

From there, you’ll board a boat and travel along the majestic Madre de Dios River to reach your jungle lodge, nestled in the heart of the tropical forest. Upon arrival, enjoy a refreshing drink made from local Amazonian fruits and settle into your eco-friendly room surrounded by nature.

In the afternoon, you’ll head out on your first rainforest walk, led by an expert local guide. As you walk among centuries-old trees, you’ll encounter some of the many species that inhabit this unique ecosystem—playful monkeys, colorful birds, butterflies, harmless snakes, and more. You’re now officially in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.

After lunch, you’ll cross the river to the renowned Monkey Island, where you’ll observe several species in their natural habitat, including squirrel monkeys, white-faced capuchins, and the elusive saddleback tamarin.

As night falls, your adventure continues with a boat excursion in search of caimans along the riverbanks. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a capybara, the world’s largest rodent. Return to the lodge for dinner and rest to the soothing night sounds of the jungle.

Day 2: Sandoval Lake & Pure Wildlife

After breakfast, set off to visit one of Tambopata’s hidden gems: Sandoval Lake, located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve. After a short boat ride, you’ll hike approximately 3 km along a forest trail to reach this natural wonder.

You’ll explore the lake in paddle canoes—motor-free to preserve the environment and allow for better wildlife observation. Here, you may spot a wide range of birds and primates: hoatzins, herons, osprey, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and even rare tamarins.

With some luck, you might encounter the giant river otter, an endangered species, or even spot massive black caimans that grow over 4 meters long.

After returning to the lodge for lunch, the excitement continues with a night walk—a chance to discover another side of the rainforest. You’ll encounter glowing insects, colorful frogs, tarantulas, and mysterious nocturnal sounds that bring the forest to life after dark.

Day 3: Canopy, Ziplining & River Adventure

You’ll spot birds like toucans, macaws, and oropendolas soaring between the tree canopies—an experience many describe as deeply spiritual.

After breakfast, it’s time for a rush of adrenaline on the Amazon zipline. Soar between the trees and feel the thrill of flying above the jungle floor. This activity is guided by trained instructors and adheres to the highest safety standards.

Following a well-earned rest and lunch, you’ll cross the river in a kayak, a peaceful and immersive way to observe wildlife along the banks. To end the day, try your hand at traditional Amazonian fishing, catching species like catfish as the sun sets and the rhythm of the forest shifts.
