Overview

Join us for an unforgettable 4-day Upper Tambopata Jungle Tour, where you will have the opportunity to witness the remarkable Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick, explore the stunning Sandoval Lake, and visit Monkey Island. The Tambopata Natural Area is a unique destination, as it is one of the few places on earth that contains both lowland and foothill rainforests, as well as cloud forests at higher elevations.

Once sparsely populated, Tambopata became recognized as a vital corridor between Manu National Park and Bolivia’s jungles by conservationists. The area is home to thriving populations of Tapirs, Jaguars, and other felines, Giant Otters, Harpy Eagles, a variety of Macaws, and other animals that have disappeared from other regions of Amazonia.

Itinerary

DAY 1

DAY 1

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be greeted and transferred to our office in Puerto Maldonado. If you have any luggage that you won’t need during your stay in the rainforest, we can store it for you to make transportation easier. We will then take a 40-minute boat ride from the port “Puerto de Capitanía” to our lodge.

Once at Amazon Garden Lodge, you will receive a refreshing seasonal fruit drink and be given information about your stay. Your guide will provide you with the keys to your bungalow and security safe, followed by lunch and some rest time before the first excursion.

At 3:30 pm, you will depart on a guided tour of the rainforest, where your guide will show you tropical trees, medicinal plants, and the 60-hectare area of the lodge. You will also stop at a viewpoint where you may see toucans and other birds. The hike will last for 2-3 hours.

Upon your return to the lodge, you can relax in the hammocks on your bungalow’s terrace, enjoy a cocktail at the bar, get a massage, visit the souvenir shop, or watch the sunset by the riverside. Before dinner, we will take a nocturnal boat trip to observe caimans and other riverbank animals.

DAY 2

DAY 2

You will wake up at 5:30 am for coffee or tea before departing to Lake Sandoval. Your guide will provide you with a breakfast snack for the excursion. After a 20-minute boat ride on the Madre de Dios river, you will arrive at Lake Sandoval.

During the 3 km hike through the Tambopata National Reserve, you will have the opportunity to admire giant trees, snakes, monkeys, and various birds. On Lake Sandoval, we will navigate in small rowing boats, searching for giant otters and other animals.

After a break for breakfast, rest, and to collect your strength, we will continue our journey to Monkey Island, where you will have the opportunity to see five species of monkeys in the wild. It is important to follow your guide’s instructions and respect the animals’ space.

At 1:30 pm, we will return to the lodge for lunch. At 3:30 pm, you will visit one of the two lookout towers at Amazon Garden Lodge to birdwatch and view other animals living at this altitude. You will also have free time to enjoy the lodge, refresh at the bar, or visit the souvenir shop. The guide will adapt the excursion according to the guests’ preferences.

DAY 3

DAY 3

At 9:00 am, we take a 20-minute boat ride down the river to reach the chacra, a local farm owned by a typical family of the agricultural region. The farm is dedicated to cultivating domestic plants without the use of chemicals, and the produce is sold at the main market in Puerto Maldonado. During our visit, we get to taste various tropical fruits of the season, including cacao, banana, cocona, breadfruit, noni, manioc, and lime. We also get to learn about the family’s customs and activities, including fishing, hunting, and handicraft. These traditions have been passed down by ancestors from various indigenous tribes of the Rainforest, and we get to see firsthand how natural products are used to manufacture tools, dwellings, clothing, and ornaments. We even learn about the medicinal properties of Ayahuasca. The visit ends with a unique outdoor lunch for the family and their guests. Afterward, we return to Amazon Garden Lodge for some recreation and free time until dinner at 8:00 pm.

DAY 4

DAY 4

We wake up at 5:30 am to have some coffee or tea before embarking on a 20-minute walk to the clay lick. This is where we have the chance to observe three to five types of parrots. The parrots come to the clay lick to ingest a particular kind of clay that can be found in certain areas of this region, and it is vital for the regulation of their metabolism. It’s a colorful and exciting event that’s truly a delight to behold. Afterward, we have breakfast and free time before heading back to Puerto Maldonado in our boats. At the port, one of our vehicles will receive us, and we’ll make a short stop at our office before heading to the local market. Here, we’ll get to appreciate the different typical products of the area before heading to the airport for the check-in and registration of our respective flights. Please note that the order and timeline of the excursions can be modified by the guide in coordination with the management, depending on the physical condition of the guests and the prevailing climate.
