Day 1 Lima
Day 2 Breakfast
Day 3 DepartureDay

Day 1 Posada Amazonas (L,D)
Upon arrival from Lima or Cusco, a local representative from Adventures to Peru will welcome you at the airport and transfer ten minutes to our Puerto Maldonado headquarters office. While enjoying your first taste of the forest in our gardens we will ask you to pack only the necessary gear for your next few days, and leave the rest at our safe deposit. This helps us keep the boats and cargo light.

Departing the office we’ll drive 20 kilometers to the Tambopata River Port, entering the Native Community of Infierno, where we’ll board our motorized canoe.



The forty-five minute boat ride from the Tambopata Port to Posada Amazonas will take us into the Community´s Primary Forest Private Reserve. Enjoy a high quality boxed lunch on board before disembarking on the shores of the Tambopata River. After a short walking portage of 10 minutes, we arrive to Posada Amazonas Jungle Lodge. The lodge manager will welcome you will a local jungle fruit beverage and brief you with important navigation and security tips.



Canopy Tower
After roughly 45 minutes of down time, we’ll leave on a twenty-minute walk from Posada Amazonas to the 30-meter (100ft) canopy tower. A banistered staircase running through up middle provides safe access to the platforms above. From the upper platforms enjoy spectacular views of the vast expanses of primary forest cut by the Tambopata River meandering through the Jungle. Now and then toucans, parrots or macaws are seen flying against the horizon, or mixed species canopy flocks land in the treetop next to you.

Return to the Lodge for some rest and dinner. Following dinner, a daily presentation on the Infierno ecotourism project is available every night from a staff member.

Day 2 Posada Amazonas (B,L,D)

Breakfast



Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake

Tres Chimbadas is thirty minutes by boat and forty five minutes hiking from Posada Amazonas. Once there you will paddle around the lake in a catamaran, searching for the resident family of nine giant river otters (seen by 60% of our lake visitors) and other lakeside wildlife such as caiman, hoatzin and horned screamers. Otters are most active from dawn to eight or nine AM.



Parrot Clay Lick

This clay lick is only a twenty-minute walk from Posada Amazonas. From a blind located about twenty meters away you will see dozens of parrots and parakeets descend on most clear mornings to ingest the clay on a river bank. Species such as Mealy and Yellow- headed Amazon, Blue-headed Parrot and Dusky headed Parakeet descend at this clay lick. The clay lick is active at dawn, during the late mornings and mid-afternoons.


Lunch



Ethnobotanical Tour

A twenty-minute boat drive downriver leads you to a trail designed by the staff of the Centro Ñape. The Centro Ñape is a communal organization that produces medicines out of forest plants and administers them to patients who choose their little clinic. They have produced a trail which explains the different medicinal (and other) uses of selected plants.



Dinner



Night walk

You will have the option of hiking out at night, when most of the mammals are active but rarely seen. Much easier to find are frogs with shapes and sounds as bizarre as their natural histories.
