See availability →A 4-day Amazon rainforest tour from Puerto Maldonado with three nights in a lodge: jungle hikes, Monkey Island, Lake Sandoval, a canopy walkway, ziplining and kayaking.
This 4-day Amazon rainforest tour from Puerto Maldonado keeps you busy from the first hike to the last paddle. You are met at the airport or bus station and taken to the lodge office for a briefing, and an hour on the river brings you to the lodge, where a fresh regional fruit juice is waiting. The first day goes on with a guided hike of two hours, a visit to Monkey Island on the far side of the Madre de Dios, and after dinner a hunt for caimans on the riverbank.
Day two heads for Lake Sandoval by a brief boat ride and a 3 km walk, then you row across it looking for hoatzins, puma herons, howler monkeys, sloths and, with luck, giant river otters. After dark a night walk looks for insects, amphibians, reptiles and other creatures of the night.
- A canopy walkway 30 metres high, early in the morning, with toucans and macaws
- A zip-line, with an instructor to explain the harness
- Kayaking over the Madre de Dios at sunset
- Artisanal fishing, which might catch a catfish
The last morning ends with the trip back to town and a ride to the airport or the bus terminal. The tour includes three nights of accommodation, a bilingual guide, transfers and all meals. Flights and entry to the reserve are paid separately.
