Tambopata Amazon Rainforest  4 Days

The Peruvian jungle is part of the mighty Amazon basin. Tambopata Amazon Rainforest  is one of the longest rivers in the world and runs through many countries in South America. There are two main jungle areas in Peru that you can visit, both equally beautiful and with many great attractions to experience. The first area is the area of Puerto Maldonado and the Madre de Dios River. The area is part of the great Tambopata Amazon Rainforest; The reserve covers around 274,690 hectares stretching from the Andes Mountains to Bolivia and is close to the Manu National Park and the Madidi National Park.

According to current estimates by conservationists, the area is home to 160 species of mammals and at least 650 species of birds, one of the most surprising Amazon facts. The area is home to 1200 butterfly species, over 150 species of amphibians and reptiles and more than 100 fish species, and over 10000 plant varieties. A highlight of the Tambopata National Reserve is the world’s largest known mineral clay lick. This is where hundreds of parrots and macaws congregate daily to ingest the detoxifying clay. The reserve contains the largest known clay lick in the world as well as the highest concentration of clay licks anywhere. Up to 17 different parrot species visit the licks daily.

Trip Highlights

  • Tambopata National Park has an immense variety of fauna and flora. The place is ideal for trekking, birdwatching.
  • You will see the thick and green mantle of the forests (one and a half million protected areas), the meandering paths of the Madre de Dios River, some indigenous populations that live in the jungle.
  • You can also do night tours, make expeditions to see monkeys, alligators and, parrots, macaws if you are lucky, even jaguars.
  • Spend a moment of complete harmony with nature
  • Impressive variety of fauna, conformed, among other species, by diverse and colorful types of butterflies, will captivate you with its colors.
  • Disconnect from everything, literally. You have the option of staying in Lodges deep in the jungle where the experience is complete. At night be without electricity, live only with the light of the moon and fireflies, changing the noise of traffic by the song of animals hidden at night.
  • Sunsets that are going to be recorded on your retina. Much better if you can see them from a canoe ride on the river.
  • Very friendly people, always willing to show you their experiences and local traditions.

PUERTO MALDONADO - INKATERRA HACIENDA CONCEPCION

Leisurely/Moderate
200 m
2 km
2 hrs

Arrive into Puerto Maldonado, coined the Capital of Biodiversity. Transfer by road to our pier and begin your Amazon adventure with a 45-minute boat ride along the serpentine Madre de Dios River. The motorized wooden boat hugs the meandering river banks to reach your eco-lodge, Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion, ensconced in the heart of the rainforest. After a short briefing, settle into your palm-thatched cabaña set within Peru’s first ever private ecological reserve, established by Inkaterra in 1975 to protect this sensitive environment. After lunch, retreat to your rustic-luxury cabin for a nap or a swing in your hammock before choosing from the wide range of à la carte guided excursions with your expert Inkaterra explorer guide. We recommend walking along the Trail system for an immersive introduction into the intricate biodiversity of the Amazon basin and the layers of the rainforest. Wind your way through towering trees, like the Shihuahuaco, as your ears tune in to the croaks, rustles and calls of the exotic wildlife inhabiting this rich ecosystem. There are excellent opportunities for birding and observing a cornucopia of flora. Keep your camera at the ready just in case sloths or monkeys appear dangling from the treetops. In the late afternoon, we highly recommend taking our gentle Twilight River excursion to witness the jungle transform from a diurnal to a nocturnal world: animals and birds of the daytime give way to species specially adapted to the shadows of the night. You may be able to spot the likes of nightjars, owls, capybaras and big caiman lurking on the riverbanks. Amazonian-inspired dinner is served in the main dining room from 19:00-22:00 where we invite you to enjoy a complimentary Pisco Sour cocktail. Back in your comfy cabaña, listen to the intriguing cacophony of critters that inhabit the rainforest surrounding the lodge.

Day 2

TAMBOPATA JUNGLE: SANDOVAL LAKE - CANOPY WALKWAY

Leisurely/Moderate
200 m
3 km
2 hrs

The sunlight squeezes through the dense trees as jungle inhabitants awake from their slumber. Optionally join them in the early hours, with buffet breakfast served from 05:00. Visit Lake Sandoval this morning, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve. Reached via a sun-dappled jungle trail, Inkaterra explorer guides enjoy regaling visitors with their tales of unexpected encounters with poison frogs and camouflaged creatures. Board a dug-out wooden canoe to quietly paddle through mangroves and glide onto Lake Sandoval, flanked by picture-perfect palms. This serene lake is home to thousands of species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles and black caimans. Return to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy Walkway and navigating the Anaconda Walk. The Inkaterra Canopy Walkway is a sophisticated and safe 344 metre (1,135 feet) network of seven ecologically constructed hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest floor. This is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain a sense of its colossal size. Ascend the first vertiginous tower 38 metres (124 feet) above ground, keeping an eye out for bright toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys and the three-toed sloth. After descending, enjoy a 30-minute Anaconda Walk that follows a 200-meter (656 feet) raised wooden platform over the atmospheric flooded aguajales swamp. In this lush ecosystem you may observe various species of amphibians, birds, mammals, abundant flora and interesting trees – there is even a chance you might spot snakes. Back at the lodge, you can opt to enjoy a daily nature presentation in the Eco Centre or book yourself an indulgent spa treatment. À la carte dinner is served from 19:00.

TAMBOPATA JUNGLE: EXPLORING THE AMAZON RAINFOREST

Leisurely/Moderate
200 m
3 km
2 hrs

The Journey  starts 25-minutes by boat to Gamitana Farm and Creek to unearth more of the mysteries of the rainforest. The Amazon is an almost endless source of exotic fruits and vegetables, many with healing properties that support local communities living in the remote jungle. At Gamitana model farm, engulfed by the sounds and scents of the Amazon, you will get to see how a variety of produce is grown by local farmers and sample some seasonal forest fruits. Follow a dense jungle trail under the virescent canopy to reach Gamitana Creek. This winding, dark water creek is home to abundant flora and fauna, with many piranhas, caiman, turtles and birds hiding in its murky waters and riverbanks.

Return to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion for lunch. Head 35-minutes upriver to an old cocoa and rubber plantation. This site formerly functioned as a medical centre, set up by Catholic missionaries in the 1950s, as well as a centre for ecological research. With over 200 different plant species found here, see why the rainforest is often considered the world’s largest pharmacy and learn about their uses and benefits up-close in this natural classroom. Afterwards, enjoy a relaxing 30-minute canoe trip to look for turtles, sun grebes, nightjars and exotic herons before returning to your lodge. Under the cover of darkness, venture out for two-hours for the Rainforest by Night excursion through Inkaterra’s ecological reserve. Armed with flashlights, duck under tree boughs as your senses heighten to the movements in the undergrowth and nocturnal forest sounds that appear in different directions around you. With your expert Explorer guide, encounter animal activity and spot species that only emerge with the veil of nightfall.

With a staggering roster of wildlife found in and around Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica – 540 bird species have been inventoried in the grounds of the lodge – enjoy your last morning in this unspoilt natural wonderland as parakeets chatter away in the trees and capybara mammals scurry between vibrant orchid-rich gardens. Check-out is at 10:00; depending on your departure flight time lunch can also be arranged today (additional cost applies). Embark your ready-waiting boat for the 45-minute return trip along the snaking Madre de Dios River. You will make a short visit to a Butterfly House before reaching the airport.

Many of these can be seen at the Butterfly House, which serves to showcase the variety, beauty and adaptability of these fascinating insects.
