Spend 3 jam-packed days at the tropical Corto Maltes Lodge. Enjoy the highlights of the trip, such as the rainforest walk, caiman safari, visits to Lake Sandoval and Monkey Island, magnificent views from the lookout towers, and more. During your downtime, sway in the hammock on the terrace of your private bungalow and sip on crafted cocktails by the pool. Your time at the Corto Maltes Lodge may be short, but it will surely be sweet.
Transfer to Lodge Corto Maltes Amazonia where the lodge staff will welcome you with informational guides and seasonal fruit! In the afternoon, after you have had some time to settle in, depart for your first encounter with the rainforest. Throughout your hike through the rainforest, learn about the natural medicinal plants and the exuberant nature that thrive in these tropical conditions.
After your hike, return to the lodge for an evening of relaxation. Sip on a specially crafted cocktail by the pool or sway in the hammocks on the terrace of your private bungalow. The night is yours.
Leave the lodge bright and early for your navigation down Madre de Dios river. Once you reach Lake Sandoval, hike through abundant vegetation to the Tambopata National Reserve. There, you will have plenty of opportunities to see giant trees, monkeys, and various bird species. Later, visit Monkey Island with your camera ready. You might come into close contact with the 5 species of monkeys that live here!
After your excursion to Lake Sandoval and Monkey Island, visit the lookout towers of Corto Maltes Amazonia for some fantastic views designed entirely for birdwatching and the rise and fall of the sun. Then, return to the lodge for some free time by the pool or at the spa, until your evening dinner.
Today you will visit Chacra, a local family-owned farm in the region. While here, learn how the native people produce plants without the use of harsh chemicals, which are later taken to the main market in Puerto Maldonado to be sold. Taste multiple types of tropical fruits that are in season and other domestic products such as, banana, cacao, breadfruit and more.
The native family will also teach you their customs and most popular activities such as fishing, hunting, and handicraft. They might even share some of their secrets about the medicinal plants, notably the Ayahuasca. Your visit will conclude with an outdoor lunch with the family's most traditional meal.
Today, travel by boat to the Animal Rescue Center Taricaya. This project's primary goal is to take care of injured and rescued animals and nurse them to health so that they can relocate back to their natural habitat. During your visit here, you will see different species of animals such as jaguars, monkeys, tapirs, exotic birds, etc.
The project also provides you with the opportunity to take the Canopy Walk, that offers beautiful vistas for bird watching, and spotting local flora and fauna. It will take roughly 30 minutes of hiking through the primary forest to reach the top of this hanging bridge. But those 30 minutes of exercise are well worth the view at the top.
Wake up early for a cup of coffee or tea before you begin your excursion to the clay lick. The clay lick is where parrots come to eat one of their most important dietary substances: clay! Here, witness 3 to 5 types of parrots flock around the area for this health supplement. It will be a colorful event unlike any other.
Later, indulge in one last breakfast in the Corto Maltes Amazonia Lodge before transferring back to Puerto Maldonado by boat. A vehicle will be waiting for you in the city to drive you to the local market where you can do some shopping before you catch your flight home or to your next destination.
