Tour Location

Explore the heart of the Peruvian Amazon on this 7-day and 6-night private expedition. Journey through untouched rainforests, serene oxbow lakes, and lush landscapes, venturing deeper into the wild realms of the Amazon. Experience the region's natural wonders, staying in eco-friendly lodges, as you capture its mesmerizing wildlife and mystical beauty.

Puerto Maldonado: Located in the heartland of the Peruvian Amazon basin, Puerto Maldonado is a bustling tropical city. Known as the gateway to the biodiverse Tambopata National Reserve, the city itself thrives with a blend of native cultures and a rich history. Lively markets, vibrant street life, and connections to surrounding wilderness make it a hub for ecotourism. Its location near the confluence of the Tambopata and Madre de Dios Rivers positions it as a critical junction for exploring the rainforest.

Tambopata National Reserve: This protected area in the Madre de Dios region of Peru is renowned for its biodiversity, including giant river otters, monkeys, and a myriad of bird species. Lush rainforests, rivers, and oxbow lakes make up the landscape, providing endless opportunities for exploration and photography.

Manú National Park: Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Manú National Park is a biosphere reserve offering a stunning variety of ecosystems ranging from high Andean plains to lowland rainforests. Its diverse habitats are home to countless species of flora and fauna, and the park is often hailed as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

Oxbow Lakes: Typical of the Amazon basin, these water bodies form when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake. In the Peruvian Amazon, these lakes are often home to unique aquatic life and provide spectacular opportunities for viewing wildlife such as caimans, piranhas, and various bird species.

Amazon Rainforest Canopy: A multi-layered marvel, the Amazon canopy provides an extraordinary habitat for countless species. From colorful macaws and delicate orchids to elusive jaguars, the canopy is a dynamic world unto itself. Some expeditions may include canopy walks or towers, allowing you to experience this ecosystem from a unique perspective.

Indigenous Villages: A visit to the Amazon wouldn't be complete without understanding its human inhabitants. Various indigenous communities live in harmony with the forest, and some tours provide opportunities to engage with these communities, learn about their traditions, agriculture, and the way they coexist with their environment.

Ecolodges: Strategically positioned within the forest, ecolodges offer a blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. Built with sustainable practices and often involved in conservation efforts, these lodges are more than just places to stay; they are part of the Amazon experience, providing access to the surrounding beauty and tranquility.
