Arrival in Puerto Maldonado,
followed by transfer to the river
dock where we board our boat and set
forth upon an unforgettable journey
down the Madre de Dios River. Along
the way can be observed the
alligators (caimans), water turtles
(charapas) and other fauna, as well
as herons and varieties of bird
species. Upon arrival at the
Eco-Amazonian Lodge, and enjoying an
exquisite –and typical- welcome
drink, you will settle in our
comfortable bungalows. Lunch ensues
shortly. Afterwards, in the company
and assistance of our specialized
guide, we visit Monkey Island (“Isla
de los Monos”). Located only five
minutes from the Lodge, in the
middle of the Madre de Dios river,
the Monkey Island hosts an ample
variety of species of monkeys: These
range from the noisy ones such as
the Maquisapa (Spider Monkey), the
happy Achuñi (Nasua nasua d.), the
very impressive Fraile (Squirrel
Monkey) to the very little and funny
Leoncito, “little lions” (Tití –Cebuella
pygmaea). The trip to the island
affords very beautiful sightseeing
of the local landscape as well as
the flora and fauna that they host.
And to top it all off, there is that
breathtaking and sublime jungle
sunset.
DAY 2 : COCHA PERDIDA (LOST LAKE).
After breakfast we set forth on an
adventure thought the virgin jungle,
led by our professional local guide:
today’s hike will take us to the
“Cocha Perdida” (Lost Cocha). This
site effectively constitutes a
unique protected Ecosystem, Refuge
and Feeding ground for a great
diversity of jungle fauna including
Nutria and Otters (Lutra incarum),
Cayman (New World Crocodile),
Turtles (Charapa), Sachavaca
(Amazonian Tapir) the majestic
Jaguar, or Otorongo (Panthera onça),
many birds feathered strikingly as
well as an ample variety of fish
species. This area is unique and
distinctively particular to the
Eco-Amazonian Reserve, by virtue of
having remained altogether unaltered
and conveniently surrounded by large
swamps and wetlands. One of the
highlights of today’s tour is
certainly the ascent to the
“Mirador” (the “Amazonian
Overlook”) built atop the greatest
of treetops in the Amazonian forest,
the revered “Shihuahuaco” (Diptrax
alata, a relative of the Mimosa and
Copaiba family) from where a grand
view of the great and magical forest
can be admired. This is complemented
by a pleasant canoe tour around the
lake, after which we return to the
Lodge and a well earned lunch.
During the afternoon is an optional
visit to a local family, to the
botanical gardens and eco-swimming
pool are available for guests and
are free of any additional charge.
Return to the lodge for a delicious
dinner.
