Native Ecocommunity : 4N/3N Jungle Peru

Day 01 : Monkey Island

We'll arrive in Puerto Maldonado, Peru's capital of biodiversity. Following pickup at the airport, our trip begins with a tour of the city by private bus. We'll continue to Capitanía, a small river port, where we'll board a motorized boat to cross the Madre de Dios River. As the trip progresses, we'll become immersed in the natural surroundings of the jungle while observing the ronsoco, caimans, turtles, herons, cormorants and other animal species.

We'll arrive at the Ecoamazonia Lodge and enjoy an exquisite welcome drink. Then, we'll settle into our bungalows and have lunch. In the afternoon, accompanied by our specialized guide, we'll visit MONKEY ISLAND, a unique place at the heart of the Madre de Dios River—just 5 minutes from the lodge.

Along the way, we'll take in the extraordinary landscapes and exuberant flora that are home to a variety of monkey species. These monkey species include maquisapas, capuchins, lion monkeys, puffins and cotos, along with other animal species like the coati, sloth, and a great diversity of birds. We'll complete our visit of the island while enjoying the sunset—the most impressive moment of any day in the jungle. Then, we'll return to the lodge to end the day with a pleasant dinner.

Day 02 : Lost Cocha

After breakfast, we'll begin an adventure through the virgin forest, accompanied by our local guide as we explore deep into the jungle and reach the LOST COCHA (COCHA PERDIDA). The Lost Lake is a refuge and feeding ecosystem for a tremendous diversity of animals. There, we'll have the opportunity to observe otters, caimans, turtles, sachavacas, birds of every color, the majestic jaguar and a variety of fish.

This unique area, as it belongs to the Ecoamazonia Reserve, remains utterly intact, with large marshes and natural springs. We'll ascend to and extraordinary vantage point, from which we'll have a chance to observe the magical jungle, followed by a pleasant canoe ride around the lake. We'll return to the lodge for lunch and in the afternoon, we offer an optional visit to the botanical gardens. If you'd rather relax, you can enjoy the Amazon Pool. We'll return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 03 : Palma Real

After breakfast, we'll take a downstream boat trip for about 2 hours on the Madre de Dios River. Along the riverbanks, we'll be able to observe a variety of flora and fauna as well as local gold-diggers. Afterward, we'll pay a visit to the nearby indigenous community located in PALMA REAL. The village is a semi-modern group that still maintains many of their original customs, myths and rituals. In the Huarayos' human settlement we'll discover a place of secrets, wisdom and harmonious interaction between man and the jungle, an integral part of a whole that the villagers call "world".

Our guide will tell us about the people's lifestyle, their notion of time marked by the Sun, the Moon, and water. He'll tell us about a place where human beings, plants, animals and rivers interact in a compact world and therefore, for the people of the village, everything carries a message. Finally, we'll have a chance to purchase some of the crafts produced in the village and later, we'll begin our return. We'll enjoy lunch on board our river boat, then pass by the Palma Real Gorge, a beautiful landscape and natural attraction. Later on, we'll return to the lodge to have dinner.
