Puerto Maldonado Jungle Expedition: Unearth Amazon Secrets
Upon landing in Puerto Maldonado, whether from Lima or Cusco, you’ll be greeted by the tranquil environment of a lodge nestled by the Madre de Dios River. Not long after you’ve settled in, an invigorating walk awaits. We guide you across our towering canopy bridges, which are superb spots to observe the diverse wildlife. Birds, sloths, and monkeys can often be seen moving about. As the sky starts displaying evening hues, a stunning jungle sunset unfolds before you.
Once twilight descends, our team embarks on a thrilling nocturnal caiman search. Your appetite for adventure by day transitions seamlessly to an appetite for authentic cuisine by night. Dive into the culinary delights of the region at one of Puerto Maldonado’s finest eateries.
With the first rays of dawn, our Puerto Maldonado Jungle expedition directs you to the renowned Chuncho Parrot Clay lick within Tambopata National Reserve. It’s truly a sight to behold as macaws, amazons, and parakeets converge, their colors painting a vibrant picture against the clay backdrop. Additionally, the nearby riverbanks often serve as lounging spots for jaguars, pumas, and capybaras.
Next, we shift our focus to the pristine Sandoval Lake in Tambopata Reserve. While traversing its surrounding jungle, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of wildlife, from playful monkeys to elusive snakes. On the lake itself, boat rides offer serene views and the chance to spot alligators, otters, and an array of birds.
Bird enthusiasts, rejoice! We offer an optional visit to another parrot clay lick. And, as your expedition comes to a close, a final foray into Puerto Maldonado’s bustling market ensures a taste of local life.
Embark on the Puerto Maldonado Jungle Expedition and immerse yourself in the heart of the Amazon’s allure.

Amazing experience! I just arrived from the jungle tour in puerto Maldonado with these guys. I loved meeting the indigenous communities. That was a unique experience. They took care of all details from accomodation, tours, meals and transportation. Very happy with the experience. Thank you

Uau…
I was interested in the Amazon basin and Pedro suggested Puerto Maldonado.
I was able to see pretty much all the wildlife in the amazon, maybe with the exception of Jaguars, which i guess you have to be very lucky to spot.
The lodge is very beautiful and is totally embedded in the jungle, which allows for all kinds of animals to drop by our rooms.
In the lodge itself you can see a small kind of capivaras, parrots, toucans and lots of other bird species.
The lodge itself is right by the river. Definitely recommend an early sunrise session. Pedro helped me doing some long exposures and lent me some filters for it. Very nice morning spent on day 2.
On the other days i got to explore Lake Sandoval and some other areas where i saw tarantulas, lots of different types of monkeys and at night you can go looking for caimans which is very cool.
The visit to the indigenous community was one of the highest points of this trip. It is very clear that they know each other and the mood is very open and relaxed. It was nice to know about their culture, they’re daily habits and also get to photograph them up close. The kids are always trying to pull you in to play. Very nice family!
Overall, a very good experience, very focused on photography which is what i was looking for, well organised and with a great environment.
Thank you for a well spent holliday.
