We will start with the pick up from the airport or bus terminal.

After breakfast, we will leave for the tour at 9:30 am from the port of the city of Puerto Maldonado, where we will board a boat that will take us 1 hour down the Madre De Dios River until we reach the Tambopata National Reserve. After checking in at the control point, we will walk for 1 hour along a boarded trail to a channel connected to Sandoval Lake. There we will navigate by canoe around the lake, observing the local wildlife, such as insects, exotic birds and even, a family of giant otters that are difficult to spot elsewhere. We will also see black caimans, monkeys, squirrels, macaws, parrots, reptiles and many birds.

Then we will have a traditional lunch wrapped in leaves of a traditional plant and a drink. In the afternoon we will return to Puerto Maldonado to continue our journey to Filadelfia in almost two hours of land travel and 25 minutes by boat to reach our lodge located on the Tambopata River near the reserve of the same name, here we will have your room and dinner.

Arriving at our destination, we will have a show in the COLLPA CHUNCHO, we will see parrots and macaws: green, red, blue and yellow birds around us, flying and making loud noises, it will be a spectacle this behavior of these birds. We explain the reason why every day of the year these birds go to the cliff to eat clay. We will spend from 6:30 am to 11:00 am approx. Our breakfast will be in front of the Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick.

After lunch, we will take an introductory walk, first in a secondary forest and then in a primary forest full of huge trees, vines and creepers, at the same time we will talk about the most important economic activities of this region. It is always possible to see some brown capuchin monkeys and squirrel monkeys. At the end of the hike, we will climb the highest Canopy TOWER in Tambopata, a great place to see the Amazon basin, the sunset and the sunset is the best part from here.

When it gets dark we will return to our lodge and take our boat and do one of the most exciting activities which is CAYMAN SIGHTING (Caiman spotting), we will look for black and white caimans along the river bank with a big lamp, We may see more CAPYBARAS and if there is a good chance we will see an OCELOTE or a JAGUAR near the river, the other option is a night walk, the sounds of the night, the insects, spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, frogs and maybe snakes will make this walk an experience hard to forget.
