ITINERARY

Day 1:- Puerto Maldonado - Explorer's Inn

Reception at the airport, transfer to the office and then to the port to embark ourselves in a canoe with an outboard motor and travel along the Tambopata River for approximately 3 hours. On the way we will be able to watch caimans, turtles, aquatic birds, etc, and will take a cold snack. On arriving will be welcomed with a cocktail.
After a brief rest we will set off on a short hike to a small lagoon, from where we will continue towards Sunset Point on time to appreciate an unforgettable sunset in the forest. At nightfall we will get into the canoe again and will watch the caimans in the river with the help of torches. Once back at the lodge we will dine in the company of the resident naturalists who will be at our entire disposition to absolve questions regarding the Amazon forest and the Tambopata Reserved Zone.

Day 2:- Explorer's Inn - Clay Lick of the Macaws

At daybreak and after having breakfast, we will continue cleaving the Tambopata River for 5 or 6 hours, deep into the virgin Amazon forest and with great chances of watching the wild fauna. On our way we will go through cascades and interesting formations of basaltic rock, perhaps a gold washery, and sand banks where we can take a bathe if we wish.
We will have a cold snack in the canoe and will arrive by late afternoon to the clay lick, consisting of a huge 200-metre wall where hundreds of macaws and all kinds of parrots come together, for reasons yet to be known, to feed on the clay rich in minerals, thus offering an unforgettable spectacle full of colours and sounds. We will camp and have dinner on a nearby riverbank.
 
 

Day 3:- Clay Lick of the Macaws / Explorer's Inn

Early in the morning we will repeat the experience at the clay lick, to then embark and return to the Explorer’s Inn on time for lunch. We will have the afternoon free to rest or undertake an independent activity. If the level of the rivers allows it, we will go through a short detour towards another clay lick in a small river tributary of the Tambopata.
 
 

Day 4:- Explorer's Inn

Early in the morning we will have breakfast and then off we go led by a naturalist guide, on a 51/2-kilometre walk up to the Cocococha Lagoon. On the way we will have the chance of watching exotic plants and insects, butterflies, multicoloured birds, monkeys, and if we get lucky, even some of the largest mammals too. At the lagoon we will find canoes at our disposition for a short ride to watch the rich and variegated wild fauna on its shores. Back at the inn we will have a rather late lunch and the afternoon free to rest or undertake an independent activity.
 
 
 

Day 5:- Explorer's Inn - Puerto Maldonado

At daybreak we will have breakfast, to then embark on our returning trip and enjoy an unforgettable sunrise in the forest. In arriving to the City of Puerto Maldonado we will be transferred to the airport to catch our departing flight.
