Puerto Maldonado - Custom Package
What to expect... Puerto Maldonado was founded in 1902 after the Peruvian explorer, Faustino Maldonado, who discovered this land. Just 10 years later, this city became the capital of the region. Located where the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers cross, some of the best soil is found in this area. Despite the discovery of gold on the shores in the late 1970s, this city has remained rather small with about 57,000 inhabitants. Here you'll experience a great and rather untouched rainforest with diverse nature and wildlife. Enjoy this unspoilt nature and the sounds of the forest.

Here you'll be able to get a closer encounter of animals in their natural habitat.

Giant otter are also native to this area and are most active from sunrise to 9:00 am. You'll also be going to the Collpa de Loros today where you will see colorful parrots and parakeets swarming to rocks that serve as a good source of salt. Then, in the afternoon you'll visit the ethnobotanical center, Ñape, where plants are cultivated for their medicinal properties. At night, the rainforest is as exciting as during the day. A large number of animals are active, which you'll definitely hear. Most likely it will be tricky to spot any of them other than a colorful frog or two. Enjoy the forest sounds and you go to bed.

Extra Day - Hike & Visit to Local Village
Want more time in Puerto Maldonado? Then stay another night and experience one more exciting adventure in the rainforest. On a 2-hour hike through the jungle, you will learn more about the history and development of the rainforest and see the largest trees in the area: the Ceiba. You'll hike along the Tambopata River to some terra firma, meaning hard earth, as this part of the rainforest always remains dry. After the hike, you'll rest along the banks of the Tambopata and some peace and tranquility. After your rest, you'll take a boat in the afternoon to Infierno, a local village with great diversity. Here you will see many cultivated plants, each with its own benefits and properties. Finally, you'll spend one last night in a quiet jungle evening before returning early the next day.
