Day 01.- Monkey Island
Macaws in TambopataArrival to Puerto Maldonado, followed by transfer to the river dock where we will board our boat and set forth upon an unforgettable journey down the Madre de Dios river. Along the way, we can observe the alligators (caimans), turtles (charapas) and other fauna, as well as herons and several varieties of bird species. Upon arrival at the lodge, and enjoying an exquisite –and typical- welcome drink, you will settle in our comfortable bungalows. Lunch ensues shortly. Afterwards, in the company and assistance of our specialized guide, we will visit the Monkey Island, located only five minutes from the lodge. In the middle of the Madre de Dios river, the Monkey Island hosts an great variety of specimens of monkeys: these range from the noisy ones such as the Maquisapas (Spider Monkey), the happy Achuñi (Nasua nasua), the very impressive Fraile (Squirrel Monkey) to the Boat in Tambopata Riververy little and funny Leoncito “little lion”. The rip to the island affords very beautiful sightseeing of the local landscape as well as the flora and fauna that they host. And to top it all off, there is that breathtaking and sublime jungle sunset. Then we will return to the lodge and enjoy a delicious dinner. Overnight.

Day 02.- Lost Lake
After breakfast we set forth on an adventure thought the virgin jungle led by our professional local guide: today’s hike will take us to the Lost Lake. This site effectively constitutes a unique protected ecosystem, refuge and feeding ground for a great diversity of jungle fauna including Nutria and Otters (Lutra incarum), Cayman (New world Crocodile), Turtles (Charapa), Sachavaca (Amazonian Old Tree in TambopataTapir) the majestic Jaguar, or Otorongo (Panther onca), many birds of striking plumage as well as a big variety of specimens of fish. This area is unique and particularly different to the Reserve area near to the lodge, by virtue of having remained altogether unaltered, and conveniently surrounded by large swampo and wetlands. One of the highlights of today’s tour is certainly the ascent to the Amazonian Overlook, built on top of the greatest trees in the Amazonian forest: the Shihuahuaco. From this place, an amazing scenery of the magical forest can be admired. This is complemented by a pleasant canoe tour around the lake, after which we return to the lodge to eat a well deserved lunch. In the course of the afternoon, we will visit the botanical gardens. The eco-swimming pool is available to guests and is free of any additional charge. Return to lodge to have a delicious dinner.

Day 03.- Palma Real
Native CommunityAlter having our breakfast, we will navigate down the Madre de Dios River for approximately 2 hours. Along the banks, we catch sights of a variety of flora and fauna, as well as witness the activities of miners panning for gold. At the end of our 2 hours trip, we will pay a visit to the closest of the native indigenous communities, located at the site known as Palma Real. The inhabitants there belong to the Huarayo ethnic group who, although having been exposed to and assimilated some aspects of western “civilization”, have nonetheless succeeded in preserving a great degree of their original customs, myths and beliefs, as well as ritual behavior. We shall be able to acquire their handy crafts, folk arts –the product of their creativity – and hopefully participate alongside in their traditional singing and dancing. After this memorable moment, we will take our lunch aboard the boat, passing along the way through the valley of Palma Real which has been luckily doted with very amazing landscape and natural splendor. Sometime later, we will arrive at the lodge. Dinner and overnight.
