Getting to the heart of the Amazon is a highly comforting experience in order to disconnect from the world and soak in the surrounding nature. Here is a possible extension that you could add at the end of your stay in Cusco.

CUZCO – PUERTO MALDONADO – LIMA.

Morning transfer to the airport and flight to Puerto Maldonado. Reception at the airport and transfer by boat to the Lodge. After lunch we will have your first encounter with the jungle, starting with a walk to discover a wide variety of medicinal plants, tropical trees, birds, insects, butterflies and other animals. We will have the chance to stop at a lookout to observe toucans, macaws and other birds. Return to the Lodge, before dinner, for a night boat ride or “cayman safari”. 

Dinner and overnight stay at the Lodge.

Early morning wake-up call, before a 20-minute walk to reach the clay lick parrot: a wonderful spectacle of colors. After breakfast, departure to the river for an expedition that will take you to Monkey Island, where several species live free. Then, a 5 km hike awaits, through lush rainforest vegetation over to Lake Sandoval in the Tambopata-Candamo National Reserve. Numerous animal species live in this beautiful environment: birds, different species of monkeys, otters, caimans and piranhas. Lunch, and an unforgettable afternoon spent canoeing around the lake until sunset. 

Dinner and overnight stay at the Lodge.

After breakfast, we will sail along the course of the river for an hour and a half to visit a native community on Gamita Island. Two local families will show you their customs, their costumes and their way of life. We will then visit a plantation where tropical fruits and other local products are cultivated (cocoa, banana, coffee, cocona): this will be our lunch spot, and the menu will of course be made up of delicious local dishes. On your way back to the Lodge, we will be able to enjoy a relaxing afternoon by the pool before dinner. 

Overnight stay at the Lodge.

After breakfast, your guide will accompany you back to Puerto Maldonado where, depending on the time of your flight, we will be able to visit the market before leaving. We will then fly back to Lima at noon.
