ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrive at Puerto Maldonado, the Capital of Biodiversity
Fly to Puerto Maldonado where you will be met by one of our representatives and transferred by road to the pier. Begin your Amazon jungle adventure with an hour-long wooden boat ride along the Tambopata Madre de Dios Amazon River that splices through this amazing rainforest. Be amazed at the flora, fauna and breathtaking scenery of the Amazon jungle before arriving at our Amazon lodge located in the middle of the rainforest.
Check in at the lodge and enjoy a refreshing fruit water drink and then lunch. After a delicious jungle lunch, settle into your private cabana and take a rest before your first activity. You’ll meet your guide at the lodge for an introduction and 45-minute walk of the surrounding jungle dominated by giant Brazil nut and Dipteryx trees.
In the late afternoon, we highly recommend taking our night walk excursion to witness the jungle transform from a diurnal to a nocturnal world. This is where daytime animals and birds give way to species specially adapted to the darkness of the night. You may also be able to spot the likes of nightjars, owls, capybaras and caimans lurking on the riverbanks
Dinner will be served in the main dining room from 19:00-20:00 where we invite you to enjoy a complimentary Amazonian cocktail. After that, it’s back to your comfy cabaña where you can listen to the intriguing sounds of critters that inhabit the rainforest surrounding the lodge. That is an adventure in itself!
Note: Flight must arrive in Puerto Maldonado before 12:00PM.

Day 2: Forest Trails and Wetlands
After an early delicious breakfast, you and your guide will board the motorized canoe once again for the short morning boat ride to the trailhead to begin a morning’s exploration by foot and paddle canoe of the lake system of Condenado. This whole area is rich in bird and aquatic life and a family of giant otters lives in the vicinity of the lake. The afternoon is for exploring the forest close to the lodge (with or without your guide), relaxing and bathing in the Gallucunca, a cool clear stream based beside the lodge. After dark you will go searching for caimans (alligators) and other nocturnal animals by motorized canoe along the Tambopata River.

Day 3: Hike to Lake Sachavacayoc (Tapir Lake)
The sunlight squeezes through the dense trees as jungle inhabitants awake from their slumber. Optionally join them in the early hours, with a buffet breakfast served from 6:30 AM. Visit Lake Sachavacayoc this morning, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve reached via a sun-dappled rainforest trail. Board a dug-out wooden canoe to quietly paddle through a stream and glide onto Sachavacayoc, surrounded by picture-perfect palms.
This serene lake is home to many species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans amongst others. Then, you’ll return to the lodge in time for a delicious lunch.
In the afternoon, you will have time to relax in a hammock or take a refreshing dip in the nearby stream.

Day 4: Fly to Cusco or Lima
Say goodbye to the Amazon jungle as you return by canoe to Puerto Maldonado, getting memorable views of the sunrise over the river. This gives you a last chance to look out for wildlife that are particularly active at this time. Howler monkeys are frequently heard, as they stakeout their territories. From the airport at Puerto Maldonado, you can fly to your next destination in Peru, or back to Lima for your international connection.

We Help You Experience Peru Through The Eyes of a Local
We’re 100% locally owned and operated, with guides, porters, and chefs who grew up in the Cusco region. Fluent in Spanish, English, and Quechua, our team brings unmatched cultural and historical knowledge to share with you. Traveling with us means gaining insight into Peru’s traditions, landscapes, and stories from those who know them best.
We Work With Professional Guides Who Provide Exceptional Service
Our guides are the best of the best. Truly skilled experts with at least 5 years of experience, every guide we employ is ready to share their expertise on Peru’s trails, culture, and history. Our porters are no exception. They work hard to make your journey one for the books, while our chefs will prepare you delicious meals along the way. With a 99% recommendation rate, we’re dedicated to making every detail of your trip unforgettable.
We’re Committed to Our Team
Our porters and horsemen are easily the backbone of every trek. That’s why we are fully committed to prioritizing their well-being. We ensure they’re paid above-average wages—higher than those offered by most tour companies—recognizing their hard work and dedication to the team. Beyond fair pay, we truly care for their well-being, providing proper gear, meals, and working conditions so they’re not just safe but comfortable, too.
We Look Out for Our Community
A portion of every trek we sell supports local projects, like helping fund a much-needed school roof in Sacsayhuaman, where many of our team live. For years, children in the area had no nearby school and faced grueling four-hour walks in harsh conditions to get an education. Today, thanks to these contributions, they have a local school, and we continue to donate to its upkeep—because making an impact goes beyond the trek.
We Customize Our Adventures to Suit Your Travel Style
We want every trip to feel like it was made just for you. Whether you’re keen on hiking the famous Inca Trail, exploring lesser-known spots in the Sacred Valley, or tackling our one-of-a-kind Ancashcocha + Inca Trail trek, we’ll plan your adventure to fit your travel style. To keep things personal, we keep group sizes small—and if your group is larger than eight, we’ll bring in an extra guide so no one misses out on the experience.
We Travel with Purpose – Serving the Women, Children, & Men of Peru
Every journey with us has a ripple effect. Your adventure supports ethical tourism, fair wages for porters, and opportunities for female trekkers–many of whom are breaking barriers on the Inca Trail–and children. We’re passionate about creating opportunities for local children to grow up healthy and learn about everything their heart desires. Through initiatives like repairing schools, donating educational materials, and funding projects, we make it a mission to build a brighter future for kids in the Cusco region. Every trek you take with us contributes to this mission. When you book with us, you’re not just exploring Peru; you’re investing in it and setting a standard for all other tourism companies and tourists.

We prioritize sustainable traveling by working with our local communities and employing indigenous guides––thus promoting economic empowerment and preserving cultural heritage. Along the journey, we’ll always encourage travelers to embrace responsible practices as advocates for the environment.
