ECOPM01 Pto. Maldonado - Jungle
lodge 3D/2N
Day 1: LODGE
ACCOMMODATION & EXCURSIONS
Our tour begins with
the reception at the airport followed by a small tour of Puerto Maldonado´s
colourful markets before crossing town to the shores of the Madre de
Dios River. Here the motorised canoe waits to take you to our lodge,
where you are warmly welcomed with a refreshing cocktail. Once settled
into the rooms the adventure begins with a trip to an historical boat,
the Fitzcarrald, stranded well within the jungle a good 400 meters from
the river. Lunch, followed by a short siesta, precedes a 3/4-hour walk
introducing you to the Amazonian forest and some of its hard-discovered
secrets including medicinal plants and local legends. The diversity
of life and forms will for sure astonish you. Back to the lodge and
dinner. (L,D).
Day 2: THE
AMAZON FLORA AND FAUNA
Day starts with a
dawn trip towards the parrot clay lick, known as collpas, to witness
a phenomenal spectacle where several species of parrot and parakeets
come to feed of clay. Breakfast back at the lodge then back on the river
for an 8 km trip downstream to visit the Monkey Island. Lunch. The afternoon
takes us on a 5km walk through vast palm swamps to reach the hidden
paradise of Lake Sandoval. Here we have the chance to find the rare
“River Wolves” (giant otters), monkeys swinging along the shores and
a huge variety of fishes including the piranha. As dusk descends we
look for the large black caiman in the lake before an adventurous nocturnal
hike back to the river. Back to the lodge and dinner. (B,L,D).

Day 3: THE
MINING TOWN OF LABERINTO
Puerto Maldonado
is an area steeped in history with regard to the extraction of gold.
We will take you to the mining town of Laberinto where we can observe
the miners at work. A small island provides an opportunity to try our
hands at extracting the gold before returning to Laberinto where it
is possible to buy your own little nugget if you wish. Leaving Laberinto
we return to Puerto Maldonado and head back down to the lodge by river.
As an alternative you could remain in the lodge, this is a great option
for those wishing to rest swinging in hammocks and making
the most of the comforts on offer with a truly breathtaking.
