1st
Day:
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.
2nd
Day:
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.
3rd Day: 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. Box lunch is provided. After a brief rest we
return to the lodge. In the evening we'll have dinner.
