Puerto Maldonado

A short flight from Cusco, high in the Andes, to Puerto Maldonado, deep in the lowlands of the Amazon jungle. Travel by motorized
canoe to our lodge in the Tambopata Rainforest Area, which holds the world record for the most bird sightings in one area. Explore
the jungle with local guides before flying to Lima for a final night out.
About half of Peru is located within the Amazon Basin, however, due to its isolation, not a lot of it is available to the casual traveler.
Puerto Maldonado is the region’s principal city and is serviced by air from the capital and from Cusco. The town is situated at the
confluence of the Madre de Dios and Tambopata Rivers, and is a bustling, booming tropical frontier town. Its principal activities are
gold mining, Brazil nut collecting, timber extraction, agriculture and ecotourism. After a brief stop in the town we depart on an
afternoon boat trip by motorized canoe to our jungle lodge.Read more
