“ECOLOGICAL NATURE RESERVE”
Day 01: Monkey Island (Isla de los Monos)
We’ll arrive in Puerto Maldonado, Peru’s capital of biodiversity.
Following pickup at the airport, our trip begins with a tour of the city
by private bus. We’ll continue to Capitanía, a small river port, where
we’ll board a motorized boat to cross the Madre de Dios River. As the
trip progresses, we’ll become immersed in the natural surroundings of
the jungle while observing the ronsoco, caimans, turtles, herons,
cormorants and other animal species. We’ll arrive at the Ecoamazonia
Lodge and enjoy an exquisite welcome drink. Then, we’ll settle into our
bungalows and have lunch.
In the afternoon, accompanied by our specialized guide, we’ll visit
MONKEY ISLAND, a unique place at the heart of the Madre de Dios
River—just 5 minutes from the lodge. Along the way, we’ll take in the
extraordinary landscapes and exuberant flora that are home to a variety
of monkey species. These monkey species include maquisapas, capuchins,
lion monkeys, puffins and cotos, along with other animal species like
the coati, sloth, and a great diversity of birds. We’ll complete our
visit of the island while enjoying the sunset—the most impressive moment
of any day in the jungle. Then, we’ll return to the lodge to end the day
with a pleasant dinner.
Day 02 : LAKE APU VICTOR
We’ll wake up to the delightful song of birds in the surrounding canopy.
After breakfast, we’ll start our excursion with a walk deep into the
jungle, making our way along specially-prepared paths and canyon
bridges. During our walk, we’ll see Caimans’ Cave, and as we continue
along, we’ll arrive at majestic LAKE APU VICTOR, with its crystal clear
waters, surrounding jungle marshes, and giant tree species. Further
along the way, we’ll ascend to an observation point that opens up a
spectacular panorama over the lake. We’ll observe parrots, guacamayos (aras),
tucans, camungo, shanshos, herons and other animals such as caimans,
turtles. If we’re lucky, we may even glimpse the giant otter, the
jungle’s most impressive animal. After several hours, we’ll return to
the lodge to enjoy an afternoon lunch.
GAMITANA RIVER: On this excursion, it is important to take a hat along,
as well as sun-block and a swimming suit. We’ll also be able to fish and
take a dip in the river before returning to the lodge for dinner.
