Ecomagic: Jungle Tour

Enjoy guided excursions to spot wildlife in Puerto Maldonado, Peru’s capital of biodiversity. Very few places in the world show such a charming nature; so splendorous, magical and abundant.

Day 1

After we pick you up from the airport, our trip begins with a city tour on a private bus. We will continue to Capitania, a small river port where we board a motorized boat to cross the Madre de Dios river. As the trip progresses we will be immersed in the natural surroundings of the jungle while looking for capybaras, caimans, turtles, herons, cormorants and other animal species. Then at the Ecoamazonia Lodge we will enjoy an exquisite welcome drink, settle in our bungalows and have lunch. In the afternoon will visit MONKEY ISLAND, a unique place at the heart of the Madre de Dios river just 5 minutes from the lodge. Along the way, you will be amazed by the extraordinary landscapes and exuberant flora that are home to a variety of monkey species, coatis, sloths and a great diversity of birds. We will complete our visit of the island enjoying the sunset, the most impressive moment of any day in the jungle. The day ends with a pleasant dinner at the lodge.

Day 2

We will wake up to the delightful song of birds in the surrounding canopy. After breakfast, we start our excursion with a walk deep into the jungle making our way along paths and canyon bridges arriving to the majestic LAKE APU VICTOR. Further on the way, we will ascend to an observation point that opens up a spectacular panorama over the lake where we will observe parrots, guacamayos, tucans, camungo, shanshos amongst other exotic animals. If we are lucky, we may even glimpse the giant otter, the jungle’s most impressive animal. After the excursion we will return to the lodge to enjoy an afternoon lunch.

*GAMITANA RIVER: On this excursion, it is important to take a hat, sun-block and a swim suit. We can fish and take a dip in the river before returning to the lodge for dinner
