Aperçu

  • Full itinerary: boat ride up the Tambopata River with lunch on board, the 40 m canopy tower, a talk on Amazon wildlife and conservation, Tres Chimbadas oxbow lake by catamaran, the medicinal plant trail of Centro Ñape, and an optional night walk.
  • Look for giant otters at Tres Chimbadas lake: the lodge reports that its family of nine is seen by 60% of visitors, along with caimans, hoatzins and horned screamers.
  • Stay at a lodge owned by the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno: the staff come from three generations of the community, and your stay funds the protection of its forest.
  • Families welcome: the lodge has its own family trails and activities, and children up to 12 sharing a room with two adults pay a reduced rate.
  • A 30-minute flight from Cusco: the shortest way to add the Amazon to a Machu Picchu trip.
  • Activities guided by local naturalists in English or Spanish, in groups of up to 10 guests per guide.
  • All-inclusive experience: round-trip transfer from Puerto Maldonado airport by road and river, 2 nights at the lodge, all meals from lunch on Day 1 to breakfast on Day 3, guided activities and naturalist guides.

  • Please note: This is a sample plan. At Posada Amazonas, your guide picks each day’s activities from the lodge’s activity menu, depending on the season, weather, and the group’s preferences.

Itinéraire

Jour 1

Puerto Maldonado Airport / Boat Ride on the Tambopata River / Canopy Tower / Evening Talk

  • ArrivalPuerto Maldonado airport (PEM) · Land by 1 PM
  • Road transferTo the community river port · ~1h
  • Boat rideUp the Tambopata River · ~1h · Lunch on board
  • Canopy tower40 m above the forest floor

The team meets you at Puerto Maldonado airport and drives you to its base. There, pack what you need for two nights into the duffel bag provided and leave the rest of your luggage in storage.

About 1 hour by road brings you to the river port of the Infierno community. From there, your Amazon tour from Puerto Maldonado continues by boat for about 1 hour up the Tambopata River forest, with lunch served on board. At the landing, a staircase climbs the riverbank (it is longer or shorter depending on the river level), and a short trail leads to the lodge.

In the afternoon, walk to the 40 m canopy tower. A staircase runs up its center to platforms above the trees, where toucans, parrots, and mixed flocks of birds feed at eye level. Before dinner, a guide gives a talk on the wildlife of the Amazon and the work to protect it.

Meals included: Lunch / Dinner
