Itinerary In Detail
Fly from Lima or Cusco to Puerto Maldonado, the gateway to the Amazon in southern Peru. From here you’ll travel by bus and then by motorized canoe deep into the rainforest to Tambopata Research Center, the only lodge located within the Tambopata National Reserve and one of the most remote places in the Amazon accessible to travelers.
Regardless of which lodge you’re based at, you’ll spend the next few days learning the ways of the rainforest. Your expert guide will lead you on jungle expeditions, on foot, and by canoe. Climb a 100ft (30m) canopy tower for incredible views over the jungle canopy, visit vibrant Macaw clay licks, head out in the dark for a night walk in search of creepy crawlies and quietly walk through the forest.
On your last day, transfer back to Puerto Maldonado and fly back to Lima or Cusco for your international flight connection or to continue your trip in Peru.
