DAY 1 PUERTO MALDONADO - YOUR SELECTED LODGE

RESERVA AMAZONICA
Arrive into Puerto Maldonado, coined the Capital of Biodiversity. Transfer by road to the pier and begin your Amazon adventure with a 45-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios River that splices through the rainforest. The motorized wooden boat hugs the meandering riverbanks to reach your eco-lodge, Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, in the middle of the rainforest. After a short brie ng, settle into your palm-thatched cabaña set within Peru’s rst ever private ecological reserve; established by Inkaterra in 1975, to protect this sensitive environment. After lunch, retreat to your rustic-luxury cabin for a nap or a swing in your hammock before choosing from the wide range of à-la-carte guided excursions with your expert Inkaterra Explorer Guide. We recommend walking along the Trail System for an immersive introduction into the intricate biodiversity of the Amazon basin and the layers of the rainforest. Walk along towering trees, like the Shihuahuaco, as your ears tune in to the croaks, rustles and calls of the exotic wildlife inhabiting this rich ecosystem. There are excellent opportunities for birding and observing an abundance of ora. Keep your camera ready just in case sloths or monkeys appear on the treetops. In the late afternoon, we highly recommend taking our gentle Twilight River excursion to witness the jungle transform from a diurnal to a nocturnal world: where daytime animals and birds give way to species specially adapted to the darkness of the night. You may also be able to spot the likes of nightjars, owls, capybaras and caimans lurking on the riverbanks. Amazonian-inspired dinner is served in the main dining room from 19:00-22:00 where we invite you to enjoy a complimentary Pisco Sour cocktail. Back in your comfy cabaña, listen to the intriguing sounds of critters that inhabit the rainforest surrounding the lodge

HACIENDA CONCEPCION
Arrive into Puerto Maldonado, coined the Capital of Biodiversity. Begin your Amazon adventure with a 25-minute boat ride navigating the clay-coloured Madre de Dios River to reach Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion lodge. Settle into your stylish stilted wooden cabaña or room on our private eco-reserve and then head to the palm-thatched Casa Grande dining room for a buffet lunch before exploring the rainforest on foot, starting from the Eco Center. Take a walk along the Concepcion Trails, winding through the property’s nature trails for an immersive introduction to the intricate ecosystems of the Amazon basin. Backed by the protected Tambopata National Reserve and built on the grounds of a former cacao and rubber plantation, Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion harbours primary and secondary rainforest inhabited with exotic wildlife and tropical plants. At dusk witness the enchanting transformation of the rainforest from a diurnal to a nocturnal environment on a guided Twilight River boat ride, as animals and birds of the daytime give way to species specially adapted to the shadows of the night. See if you can spot caimans lurking on the riverbanks and stars of the southern hemisphere. In the evening enjoy à-la-carte dining, drawing on local Amazon ingredients for inspiration. Retreat to your cabaña or room to listen to the curious calls and croaks of the rainforest at night.

CORTO MALTES
A full day introduction to the Amazon awaits us! From the Port of Capitanía we will take 40-minute motor boat ride along the Madre de Dios River until we reach the Corto Maltés Amazonía lodge. A refreshing welcome fruit juice and a delicious lunch will give us the energy necessary to go out exploring. We will take a walking tour along a trail while our guide shows us a variety tropical trees, medicinal plants and other fascinating flora and fauna that inhabit the area. In addition, we will visit a “shiringuero” camp, where we will learn about the artisanal process of collecting latex or shiringa, one of the most important economic activities in the Madre de Dios region. During our down time at the lodge, we can relax in the pool or hammocks, have a cocktail at the bar or book a relaxing massage. As night falls it is time for the exciting “caiman safari,” a nighttime boat ride that will take us in search of these impressive reptiles and other animals that live on the banks of the river.

Visit Lake Sandoval this morning, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve, reached via a sun-dappled rainforest trail.

Return to Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy Walkway. The Canopy Walkway is a sophisticated and safe 344 metre (1,135 feet) network of seven ecologically constructed hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest oor. This is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain a sense of its size. Ascend the rst vertiginous tower 38 metres (124 feet) above ground, keeping an eye out for bright toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys and the three-toed sloth. It’s possible to extend your elevated stay with sunset drinks from atop a tower, – or spend a once-in-a-lifetime night in a specially designed treehouse cabin with surprising comforts (additional cost applies). After descending, enjoy a 30-minute Anaconda Walk that follows a 200-meter (656 feet) raised wooden platform over a ooded aguajales swamp.

The tour will allow us to admire gigantic trees and we will be on the lookout for encounters with other fascinating species of flora and fauna. Once we arrive at Lake Sandoval, aboard small rowboats, we will set off in search of giant otters, charming mammals that are in danger of extinction. We may also see species of reptiles, monkeys, such as cotomonkeys or capuchins, and characteristic birds such as the “shansho” and kingfishers in their natural habitat. Our guide will find the perfect spot on the lake, and we will enjoy breakfast while observing the impressive environment that surrounds us. Back on dry land we will go to an observation tower, designed for observing birds and other species from the heights of the forest canopy.
