Libertador Tambopata Lodge

4 days ex Puerto Maldonado

Trip Code: TSPJ4L

Puerto Moldonado, Tambopata National Reserve, Amazon Rainforest

Get back to nature in the tropical rainforest of the Libertador Tambopata Lodge. Located on the famously diverse Tambopata River in the Peruvian Amazon, this rustic lodge has no electricity, ensuring the atmosphere remains natural well into the night; lanterns and candles are used for light. Explore the jungle by canoe or on dry land trails, swim in the lodge's cool stream, or strap on a harness and rope up to the lodge's tree platforms for a bird's eye view of the forest, including close-ups of arboreal orchids!

Day 1 Puerto Maldonado/Libertador Tambopata Lodge (L, D)

You'll be met at the Puerto Maldonado airport to begin your journey via the Tambopata River to the jungle lodge. You are accompanied by a naturalist guide who will describe and explain the evolving vegetation of the virgin rainforest. Teeming with giant groves of Brazil-nut and dipteryx trees, prepare for a delightful nature walk around the lodge and watch for saddle-back tamarinds, brown capuchins, pacas, and other wildlife. Beneath a starry sky venture into the jungle on the not-to-be-missed night walk.

Day 2 Libertador Tambopata Lodge (B, L, D)

After an early breakfast embark on a guided naturalist tour aboard a canoe and arrive to Lake Condenado. Rich in bird and aquatic life, view a variety of bird species like herons, egrets, and noisy donacobius. Return to the lodge for lunch and an afternoon of leisure - perhaps relax and bathe in the Gallucunca, a cool clear stream by the lodge or visit the tree platforms for a bird's eye view of the forest. This evening, get a glimpse of the nocturnal life on the river as you enjoy a river cruise.

Day 3 Libertador Tambopata Lodge (B, L, D)

Today you're off to Lake Sachavacayoc. After breakfast take a boat excursion to a spectacular hidden lake where it is possible to spot the elusive black caiman and giant otters. Return for lunch - the afternoon is free for relaxation and swimming.

Day 4 Puerto Maldonado (B)

Return by canoe to Puerto Maldonado for departure.
