Itinerary
Day 1: Puerto Maldonado/Tambopata
After a brief stop in town to store large luggage, drive to the pier and travel by covered motorized boat to the jungle lodge. En route, spot bird species typical of the river and forest edge—the Tambopata Rainforest holds the world record for the most bird sightings in one area. Arrive at the lodge and enjoy a welcome drink and orientation. Head out for a night walk around the lodge grounds before dinner.
Local community members make up the majority of lodge staff, including multilingual naturalist guides. Take the opportunity to learn about the area's rich flora and fauna and the locals' extensive use of medicinal plants and other natural forest resources through traditional techniques for building, fishing, and hunting.
Day 2: Tambopata
Head out early to catch the jungle at its wildest (and coolest). Walk slowly through the forest searching for wildlife before heading out on an oxbow lake by canoe.
Search for anaconda, the elusive giant river otter, or black caiman. Even if you don't spot these shy creatures, there are plenty of other birds, interesting plants and other animals about.
Day 3: Tambopata
Day 4: Tambopata
Walk to the Brazil nut tree conservation area and learn about the uses of this product throughout history. There will be opportunities to view wildlife and learn from the naturalist guide along the way.
Return to the lodge and enjoy plenty of free time to relax, swim, or explore the rainforest trails surrounding the lodge.
Day 5: Tambopata/Puerto Maldonado
Get an early start for the canoe trip back to Puerto Maldonado. On the way, look and listen for early morning wildlife—howler monkeys are frequently heard guarding their territory.
Arrive at the port and take a van back to the lodge office to collect your luggage before heading to the airport.

Overall a great experience in the jungle. The accommodation was very clean with no insects in the room - my biggest worry in advance. The excursions are great and depending on the weather adventurous. But that is what I was looking for when booking this ...

If you want to spend time in the jungle - the guides know a lot but you have to ask and the accommodation is fairly basic.
