Itinerary

day 1

Arrival at the ecological city of Puerto Maldonado, reception and transfer. We shall begin our trip with a brief visit of the city, an outboard motor cruise down the Madre de Dios river. Arrival at EcoAmazonia Lodge, local welcome drink and accommodation in our comfortable bungalows. We will embark on our first visit, crossing the river by canoe to MONKEY ISLAND; the first and only one of its kind in the heart of the Madre de Dios river, protected and conserved by EcoAmazonia Lodge. On this spectacular visit you will have the chance to appreciate the diversity of flora but most of all observe various species of monkeys in their natural habitat - among them the little lion of the jungle as well as the large Maquisapa monkeys. The island is also ideally situated to enjoy the sun-set, giving us an impressive view of the jungle landscape. Return to lodge, dinner.

day 2	After a very early breakfast we shall embark on another adventure in the virgin jungle, following local trails leading to Qocha Perdida (Lost Lagoon). This acts as a refuge and feeding ground for numerous animals such as black cayman, river turtles, giant otters as well as a large variety of fish. Along the way we will come across huge trees of all shapes and sizes, medicinal plants, numerous insects and butterflies as well as a variety of birds. On arrival at the Lagoon we will be able to climb up our extraordinary 'Amazon Lookout Platform' built on the top of one of the tallest trees, the Shihuahuaco, a way of enjoying the nature that lives around the Qocha as well as offering us an impressive panoramic view of the surroundings. We will also visit the Lagoon by canoe prior to our return to the lodge for lunch. The afternoon is free to explore locally to the lodge. Dinner is provided in the evening.
day 3	Breakfast. Continuing with our adventure we shall take a canoe this day, along the Madre de Dios river as far as the Gamitana river, deep in the heart of the jungle. A marvelous and impressive area for flora and fauna which we shall explore in smaller canoes to fully appreciate animals such as turtles, cayman, butterflies etc. This small tributary is lush with a variety of plants with fascinating surroundings along its winding course.
