Puerto Maldonado - Amazon Rainforest Hike - Caiman Spotting

Puerto Maldonado - Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed and transported to our office for a briefing about the excursion. This is followed by a 1.5 to 2-hour car journey to the Tambopata River (48 km on paved roads and 18 km on dirt roads), and then a 10-minute drive to our lodge where lunch will be served.

During the dirt road journey, travelers can enjoy sights of butterfly swarms, traditional Amazonian communities, birds flying overhead, and wildlife such as agoutis and monkeys. Upon arrival, guests will be received and accommodated at our lodge. There is an opportunity to visit the 40-meter canopy tower, offering breathtaking views of the Rainforest.

From the tower, visitors can see miles of untouched forest in every direction, with animals like macaws, toucans, and many colorful birds active in the canopy. At night, a guided walk will reveal amazing tree frogs, possibly snakes, tarantulas, stick insects, and other nocturnal creatures, followed by dinner.

Tambopata National Reserve - This reserve is renowned for its protection of wildlife, flora, and fauna, as well as the stunning beauty of the subtropical rainforest in southeastern Peru. It encompasses habitats such as aguajales, pacales, clay licks, chestnut groves, terrace forests, riparian forests, and lakes or cochas, creating unique ecosystems with a high diversity of species, many with limited ranges.

Puerto Maldonado is an exceptional destination for nature tourism and environmental education, thanks to its scenic resources and iconic flora and fauna. Attractions include oxbow lakes like Sandoval, Cocococha, and Sachavacayoc, and the Chuncho and Colorado macaw clay licks, home to hundreds of psittacines.

Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick - Full Jungle Exploration

Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick - An early start at 4:30 a.m. begins a 1.5-hour journey upstream on the Tambopata River to the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick in the Tambopata Reserve. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the stunning natural scenery and wildlife, with a chance to spot the South American feline, the Jaguar.

Upon arrival, guests will witness one of the most spectacular wildlife displays, where hundreds of parrots and various macaw species gather to consume clay. Species include the mealy parrot, blue-headed, orange-cheeked, dusky-headed, white-eyed, and large macaws like the blue, yellow, red, and green, creating an unforgettable experience!

Mid-morning, guests return to the lodge to enjoy its amenities. At midday, there is a refreshing opportunity to swim in the river, which is highly recommended. Lunch is served at the lodge.

In the afternoon, an ethnobotanical jungle walk offers insights into medicinal plants and a chance to see more mammals and large trees. Dinner and relaxation follow.

Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick - This site is a major attraction, being one of the largest in the country for bird watching, especially macaws. The clay lick is renowned for its spectacular sightings and diverse psittacids (macaws, parrots, and others), including Ara ararauna, Ara macao, Ara chloropterus, Ara colounico, and Ara militaris.

Birds utilize this natural resource to supplement their diet and neutralize toxins ingested from fruits and wild seeds. The landscape, shaped by river erosion, reveals soils rich in mineral salts (potassium, sodium, and others) and organic components.
