Day 01:  Monkey Island (Isla de los Monos)

.

Arrival to Puerto Maldonado, known to some as the “Biodiversity Capital of Peru.” Reception at the airport. Our tour begins by a visit to the city private bus. Shortly afterwards we go on to the riverside port of Capitania to board our boat and navigate down the Madre de Dios River. We soon find ourselves enveloped in natural atmosphere and surroundings: one can observe “Ronsocos”  (also known as Capybara, it is the largest living rodent; the Capybara makes up the family Hydrochaeridae. It is classified as Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris.) Caymans (Alligators), Turtles (Charapas), and other species of fauna as wel as herons, cormorants various birds. Upon arrival at the EcoAmazonía Lodge, and enjoying an exquisite –and typical- welcome drink, you will settle in our comfortable bungalows.  Shortly thereafter, lunch ensues.

After lunch, in the company and assistance of our specialized guide, we visit Monkey Island (“Isla de los Monos”). Located only five minutes from the Lodge, in the middle of the Madre de Dios river, the Monkey Island hosts an ample variety of species of monkeys: These range from the noisy ones such as the Maquisapa (Spider Monkey), the happy Achuñi (Nasua nasua d.), the very impressive Fraile (Squirrel Monkey) to the very little and funny Leoncito, “little lions” (Tití –Cebuella pygmaea). There other examples of Amazonian fauna, such as  the Coatí (also known as coatimundi, a mammal resembling the raccoon, but with a slimmer body, a longer tail, and an elongated, flexible snout. The South American coati is classified as Nasua nasua.); The Sloth; and many species of birds.

The trip to the island affords very beautiful sightseeing of the local landscape. And to top it all off, there is that breathtaking and sublime jungle sunset …

Return to Lodge.

Day 02: COLLPA DE GUACAMAYOS (MACAW LICK)

.

After a very early breakfast,  we depart from the Lodge and spend most of the rest of the day aboard a boat. Lunch takes place on board. Eventually we  arrive at the MACAW LICK (“ COLLPA DE GUACAMAYOS”). During the trip up the Tambopata River, it will be possible to observe fauna such as  caymans, turtles and a variety of birds. Upon arrival at the Macaw Lick,  camp is set up and dinner follows shortly after.

Day 03: COLLPA DE GUACAMAYOS (MACAW LICK)

In the very early morning we proceed to a suitably concealed spot in order to observe the Macaw Lick. While we are waiting for the arrival of parrots (“loros”), parakeets (“pericos” Brotegeris sp.) and macaws (“guacamayos”), we will have the pleasure of delighting  in the site of the Amazonian dawn. Return to our camp. Breakfast.

Later, we make our way back to the boat and navigate back down river until we arrive at the Ecoamazonia Lodge;  lunch on board. Arrival to the Lodge. Dinner

Day 04:  “Cocha Perdida”   (Lost LAKE)

.

After breakfast we set forth on an adventure thought the virgin jungle, led by our professional local guide: today’s hike will take us to the “Cocha Perdida” (Lost Cocha).  This site effectively constitutes a unique protected Ecosystem, Refuge and Feeding ground for a great diversity of jungle fauna including Nutria, Otter (Lutra incarum), Cayman (New World Crocodile), Turtles (Charapa), Sachavaca (Amazonian Tapir) the majestic Jaguar, or Otorongo (Panthera onça).As well as many birds of striking plumage as well as an ample variety of species of fish. This area is unique and distinctively particular to the EcoAmazonía Reserve,  by virtue of having remained altogether unaltered, and conveniently surrounded by large swamps and wetlands. One of the highlights of today’s tour is certainly the ascent to the “Mirador” (the “Amazonian Overlook”)  built atop the greatest of treetops in the Amazonian forest, the revered  “Shihuahuaco” (Diptrax alata, a relative of the Mimosa and Copaiba family) from where a grand view of the great and magical forest can be admired.
