Our Peru Adventure Travel program includes (besides the GENERAL SERVICES) the following:
Day 1: Reception at the airport and transfer to PS’s office. From where we will continue in our bus to the dock located in the native community “Infierno” from where we will board our canoe and start a one and a half hour journey to the Explorer`s Inn lodge. During the trip we will have lunch on board (Box Lunch) and will also have the opportunity to see caimans, turtles, capybaras, etc. At arrival we will be received with a welcome drink. After resting a little while we will do a short night hike where we will be able to see some nocturnal animals of the rainforest. . Back at the lodge we will have dinner with our experienced guide and some of the RNs who will be available to answer any of our questions or brief us about the Amazon rainforest and the Tambopata National Reserve.
Day 2: To see the giant otters we will have to get up very early and walk with our guide approx. 5 ½ kmts. to Cocococha oxbow lake. On the way we will have the opportunity to observe plants, exotic insects, colorful butterflies, birds, monkeys and, with a bit of luck, perhaps even see some of the large mammals. After arriving to the lake we will hide in a strategic hiding place and will wait the otters to appear to be observed. While waiting we will take the chance to have a refreshment. Afterwards canoes will be available for us to go for a short ride around the lake watching the wildlife on the shoreline. Back in the lodge we will probably have a late lunch and also have the afternoon free for relaxing or doing independent activities for those who wish to do them. Before the sun sets we will do with our guide a short afternoon walk to the Sunset Point and watch the beautiful Amazon rainforest sunset. After the sun sets we will board the canoes once again to look for and watch caimans with torches.
Day 3: Early wake up to visit the small clay lick (Colpa Chica) which is located about 15 minutes from the lodge by boat. It is a clay lick where macaws and other parrot species gather every morning to feed themselves from the mineral rich soil. It is an unforgettable spectacle full of colour and sounds. We will return to the lodge walking on the “Colpita” where we could continue appreciating the flora and fauna of the rainforest, If the passenger does not wish to make the walk is it also possible to return to the lodge by the boat. Back at the lodge we will have breakfast with our guide. After having had breakfast we will visit a “chacra” of the native community nearby where we can see a little of their cultivating activities and Amazon rainforest medicinal plants. Back at the lodge we will have a late lunch and will have the rest of the afternoon free to rest, enjoy the surroundings and/or do some other independent activity.
Day 4: We will be woken up very early to have breakfast and board the canoe to return to Puerto Maldonado. On the way we will watch the unforgettable jungle dawn on the Tambopata River. Once in Puerto Maldonado we will be transferred to the airport to take our return flight.
