- PERU JUNGLE EXPEDITIONS TOUR
3 nights EI / 1 night at the campsite
Our Clay lick program is for minimum two people
Our Jungle Expeditions Travel program includes (besides the GENERAL
SERVICES) the following:
Day 1: Reception at the airport and transfer to PS’s office. From where
we will continue in our bus to the dock located in the native community
“Infierno” from where we will board our canoe and start a one and a half
hour journey to the Explorer`s Inn lodge. During the trip we will have
lunch on board (Box Lunch) and will also have the opportunity to see
caimans, turtles, capybaras, etc. At arrival we will be received with a
welcome drink. After resting a little while we will do a short night
hike where we will be able to see some nocturnal animals of the
rainforest. . Back at the lodge we will have dinner with our experienced
guide and some of the RNs who will be available to answer any of our
questions or brief us about the Amazon rainforest and the Tambopata
National Reserve.
Day 2: At daybreak and after having had our breakfast we will board the
canoe and start a 4 hour journey up the Tambopata River. We will find
ourselves deep into untouched Amazon rainforest with superb wildlife
sighting possibilities. On the way we will pass by basalt rock
formations, some gold panning sites, wonderful sandy beaches with
swimming opportunities until arriving before midday to the Macaw Clay
lick or Colpa de Guacamayos which isa 200 m red soil cliff where, for
still unknown reasons, hundreds of macaws and other parrot species
converge every morning and afternoon to feed themselves from the mineral
rich clay. Once installed at the campsite we will have our lunch
consisting of a Box Lunch. After a brief rest, depending on the season,
we could swim in the river if we wish and then go for a walk in the
outskirts and come back on time to have dinner and camp. Note: Depending
on the weather conditions, the season or any other inconvenience the
activities on the second day can be replaced by the activities on the
fourth day being the beginning of the excursion to the Clay lick (Colpa
de Guacamayos) run one day.
Day 3: Early in the morning we will have the unique opportunity to visit
and experience the spectacle of the macaws at the Clay Lick (Colpa de
Guacamayos) and then we will board our canoe and return to the EI. On
our way back to the lodge we will be given our lunch on board. Afternoon
free for resting and doing independent activities. After the sun sets
and after listening to a talk about caimans given by our guides we will
board the canoe once again to look for and watch caimans using torches.
Back in the lodge we will have dinner with our experienced guides and
some of the RNs who will be available to answer any our questions or
brief us about the Amazon rainforest and the Tambopata National Reserve.
Day 4: To be able to observe otters we will have to wake up very early
in the morning and walk to Cocococha oxbow lake accompanied with our
guide. It is a hike of about 5 ˝ kms. On the way we will have the
opportunity to observe plants, exotic insects, colorful butterflies,
birds, monkeys and, with a bit of luck, perhaps we even see some of the
large mammals. When approaching the lake we will hide in a strategic
hiding place and we will wait the otters to appear to be observed. While
waiting we will take the chance to have a refreshment. Canoes will be
available for us to go for a short ride around the lake watching the
wildlife on the shoreline. Back in the EI lodge we will probably have
lunch quite late and also have the afternoon free for relaxing or doing
independent activities for those who wish to do them. Before the sun
sets we are going to have the chance to do a short hike with our guide
to the Sunset Point to observe the beautiful sunset of the jungle.
Day 5: We will be woken up very early to have breakfast and afterwards
board the canoe to return to Puerto. Maldonado. On the way we will watch
the unforgettable dawn in the jungle on the Tambopata River. Once in
Puerto Maldonado we will be transferred to the airport to take our
return flight.
