ITINERARY
Arrival and reception will be with our guide or transfer to the airport or bus station.
Our guides are experienced professionals with deep knowledge of the area and rainforest,
Transfer from the airport to our central office in town.
Upon arrival in Pto. Maldonado City, our Transfer or guide, will welcome you and drive you to our headquarters in town for a few minutes.
In our office, it’s mandatory to pack only the necessary stuff for the next few days; the main luggage will stay at our safe deposit. Transportation is easier that way, and to keep our boats and porter cargo light, we lend duffel bags at the office if necessary.
We have our private port by the Tambopata River
We navigate up the Tambopata River for about 2-3 hours until Finca Sachavacayoc (time will depend on the times we stop to see wildlife
On the way back, if lucky, we can watch birds, caimans, capybaras, and monkeys.
Box lunch on the boat. We can customize your box lunch with a vegetarian/vegan option.
In full company and orientation of our guide, we get to Finca Sachavacayoc
Accommodation and a Little rest.
After a bit of rest, we will go for a jungle walk as an introduction to nature and the forest interior; wait
until it gets dark to do a night walk looking for the elusive nocturnal creatures and critters, like the impressive ground bird-eating Tarantula (as big as your hand)
Dinner at the lodge
We will visit one of nature’s wonders, the spectacular Chuncho clay lick, the largest in the world. Here, the three major species of macaws get together simultaneously, and there are many varieties of parrots. Hundreds of parrots come together to eat clay, a special and unique behavior only found in this part of the planet.
We depart early at 4 a.m. and spend 2 hours on our boat upstream of the Tambopata River; to enjoy the best of the parrot show, arriving early before the birds is essential!
We will have breakfast on the boat or riverbank while watching the parrot show,
Along the journey to the clay lick, we have great chances of seeing Capybaras, Caymans, and maybe, if lucky, Jaguar or Tapirs (the two most special terrestrial mammals of the Amazon)
If necessary, we stay in the clay lick area until we see the macaws eating clay.
Return to the lodge for lunch.
Lunch at the lodge.
After a good rest, we get packed and ready for Tres Chimbadas Lake, which is 30 minutes down the river from Finca, then a 25-minute walk through the nice jungle to get to this spectacular lake with a resident family group of 8 Giant otters. Tres Chimbadas Lake has excellent wildlife, like monkeys, caimans, Hoatzins, and macaws flying by to roost. We also have the chance to do piranha fishing while looking at the wildlife and the lake’s beauty
On the way back, we return to the lodge, trying to spot the nightlife along the riverbank if lucky, a rare species may show up
Dinner at Finca
Early breakfast at Finca Sachavacayoc and upon coordination with the Naturalist guide, and according to your interest, we will visit either Condenado or Sachavacayoc Lake. In both, we can search for Anacondas; both lakes are the very best to search for them in the Peruvian Amazon as well as other wildlife; both lakes are in the heart of the Tambopata National Reserve
Return to Finca for lunch
In the afternoon-evening, we will visit our spectacular canopy tower, the tallest and most robust of the region, 50m tall, to see canopy birds, possible monkeys, and a different and breathtaking view of the mighty jungle
Optional visit to the tower before breakfast
Breakfast at the lodge and departure to Pto. Maldonado
The boat journeys back to Pto Maldonado for 2 hours, and we have the last chance to spot wildlife along the riverbanks.
We will arrive at our office in town and provide full assistance or a transfer for your scheduled flight/bus or hotel.
