overlooking the confluence of the rivers Madre de Dios and
Tambopata from Grau square.
Embarkation will be at Capitania port, the destination being our
lodge. We will navigate approximately 40 minutes on the Madre de
Dios River in a typical Amazonian boat.
Arrival at the Corto Maltes Amazonia Lodge. Here we will have a
welcome cocktail. Afterwards you will be handed over the keys to
your bungalow and we will have lunch. The kitchen of our Lodge
stands out for the beautiful presentation and the exquisite
tastes of the dishes prepared by our French chef.
After that you will have some free time to get comfortable in
your bungalow, or take a refreshing dip in our pool.
3:30pm: It gets time to have some first contact with the jungle.
On this trek you will see a large variety of tropical trees,
medicinal plants, insects, butterflies and other animals. Upon
return we will make a small stop at a lookout. Here you can
observe toucans, macaws and other species of birds upon your
return for sunset. (duration: between 2,5 and 3 hours)
Returning to the lodge you can take a refreshing dip in the pool
or have an exotic cocktail in our terrace- bar. You could also
watch the sunset in the relaxing, tranquility of palm and mango
trees at our port.
7pm: Before dinner we will go on a nightly boat trip, a little
safari trying to spot the white caiman (caiman crocodylus) that
lives in the river banks.
8pm: After the delicious dinner, those who wish can have some
Smalltalk in our reclining seats or have some fun and make
friends with other travelers in the bar. Another option is to
take a bath in the pool (with bar) under the shining Amazon sky
and marvel at the Cross of the South. (L,D)
DAY 2 MONKEY ISLAND AND LAKE SANDOVAL
At 5:30am we will go on a trek of about 20 min until we arrive
at the parrot clay- lick. Here a minimum of five different
species feeds on special clay, vital to their metabolism. It’s a
truly marvelous, multicolored spectacle.
8am: Breakfast and free time to explore the splendid gardens of
Corto Maltes Amazonia. We have dozens of varieties of exotic
plants and flowering trees.
10:30am: Again we will navigate the Madre de Dios River. This
time on an expedition destined to “Monkey Island” where some
species of these interesting and entertaining animals live in
freedom. Following another boat ride of 30 min we will enter the
territory of the Tambopata- Candamo National Reserve. We will
trek 5km through the dense vegetation of the tropical rainforest.
Giant trees, snakes, monkeys, birds and sometimes even the
illusive jaguar can be observed here
Our destination is heavenly Sandoval Lake. Its privileged
settings are shared by numerous species of animals: Birds (in
particular Hoatzins, Kingfisher, and Cormorants), different
species of monkeys (Squirrel monkeys, Howler monkeys, Capuchin
monkeys). At the lake itself we can enjoy the spectacle of Giant
River Otters. Black Caimans and Piranhas (sometimes we can even
observe anacondas in the areas covered by reed). This is also
the habitat of the giant Arapaima, a fish of more than 2,5m,
weighing in at +200kg. Traveling by canoe, the sunset in the
lake is a spectacular unforgettable sight. On our return to the
river we might be able to spot some nocturnal animals.
8pm: The body demands rest and food after an active day in the
jungle. You will enjoy the exotic tastes of our meals,
especially our desserts. If you still have energy left you can
share moments of music and conversation in the bar whilst having
a cocktail or enjoy the sounds of the rainforest surrounding you
from your hammock.
After a long day full of activity you will enjoy the comfort of
you bungalows hammocks. You can also recover with a massage by
the lodges’ qualified masseurs. (B, L, D)

way back to the city. We will pass by our office again to
recollect the baggage left. Following that we will visit the
