Itinerary
Day 01: Jungle Hike – Monkey Island – Night Caiman Search
Arrival in Puerto Maldonado, then transfer to the village in where we will get to our boat and begin the unforgettable journey through the Madre de Dios River.
On the way, you could observe the caimans, turtles, herons and other animals. Accommodation at the lodge. We’ll have a walk in the jungle for about 1-2 hours and we’ll start observe the plants and hopefully, some animals. After the walk, return to the lodge for lunch.
In the afternoon, we’ll take the boat to reach the Monkey Island where we’ll wander for a couple of hours, looking for some of the 6 species of monkeys which live there.
After dinner, we’ll be looking for some caimans with the boat. With some luck, we might even get to catch one for a little while!
Day 02: Lake Sandoval
Today, we’ll do a long trip to the Lake Sandoval. After about 1 hour by boat, we’ll start a walk in the jungle looking for animals and plants. We might see monkeys, toucans, parrots, sloth… and a huge variety of butterflies, insects and birds! We’ll finally reach the lake where we’ll get a little boat and start the tour. Immerged in the majestic beauty of Lake Sandoval, we’ll discover the life surrounding these waters. The Lake is a protected area where biologists try to recuperate the giant otters. Nowadays, 11 otters are living around the lake and hopefully there will be more and more in the future. We’ll spend some hours in the boat, exploring the lake and discovering exotic species of monkeys, animals and birds. We’ll surely observe cormorants and the hoatzin, a prehistoric and very beautiful bird.
After lake tour, we’ll walk back to the river to get our boat back to the lodge.
Dinner and accommodation in the lodge.
*Optional: night walk in the jungle (if you’re not too tired and if the weather is good)!
Day 03: Adventure
After breakfast, we’ll go in the jungle to do some bird-watching. We’ll cross a bridge suspended among the trees (canopy) and observe the magnificence of the jungle around us.
We’ll also do some zip line and kayak in the river.
Return to the lodge and then to Puerto Maldonado. Transfer to the airport or the bus station.
