Day 1
Cusco / Puerto Maldonado / Reserva Amazonica
From Cusco, a short flight brings you to Puerto Maldonado, from where you travel by boat to reach the lodge, watching the river banks for species typical of the river and forest edge. Enjoy an orientation hike in the surrounding rainforest and overnight at the lodge.
Day 2
Reserva Amazonica
After an early breakfast, travel with your naturalist guide by boat and on foot in an area rich in wildlife. Birds abound, and you’ll also search for river otters, caimans, turtles, monkeys, and beautifully colored butterflies. Return to the lodge in time for lunch, and in the afternoon, enjoy another chance to explore the trails and waterways.
Day 3
Puerto Maldonado
A dawn start is required for the boat trip back to Puerto Maldonado, providing beautiful views of the sunrise over the river. Look for wildlife en route, as this is when the birds and mammals are particularly active. On arrival in Puerto Maldonado, connect with onward flights.
