Tambopata Amazon Discovery: 4 Days of Wildlife, Culture & Citizen Science in Luxury

Arrive in Puerto Maldonado, where your private guide will greet you and assist with your transfer to the river port. Enjoy a peaceful and scenic boat journey into the lush rainforest, offering a first glimpse of the untouched beauty of the Tambopata National Reserve. Upon arrival at your luxurious eco-lodge, settle into your private suite and enjoy a welcome drink with panoramic jungle views. After lunch, embark on a guided nature walk to learn about local plants, trees, and early signs of wildlife. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet Amazonian dinner followed by a short night walk where you'll discover nocturnal creatures and hear the sounds of the jungle awakening under the stars.

Begin the day before sunrise with a visit to the iconic Macaw Clay Lick—an unforgettable natural spectacle where dozens of parrots and macaws gather to feed on mineral-rich clay walls. Capture breathtaking photos and learn about the ecological role of this behavior. After breakfast and a moment of relaxation at the lodge, you'll visit a local Amazonian farm. Meet a welcoming native family and discover how they sustainably grow crops in harmony with the rainforest. Taste exotic fruits straight from the source and gain insight into traditional agricultural practices passed down for generations. Return to the lodge in time for sunset cocktails and a relaxing dinner.

After breakfast, set out on a fascinating journey into a protected Brazil nut forest. Learn about the sustainable harvesting of this vital Amazonian resource and its economic and ecological importance. Your guide will lead you through towering trees and show you the full process—from nut collection to drying and shelling. In the afternoon, you'll participate in a hands-on Citizen Science activity. Contribute to ongoing conservation efforts by collecting field data or monitoring species for a local research project—an enriching way to give back to the rainforest. After returning to the lodge, share your insights with your guide over dinner, followed by optional stargazing or a final guided night walk.

Enjoy your last morning in the rainforest with a leisurely breakfast and perhaps one final stroll around the lodge’s gardens. Say goodbye to the lush surroundings before your private boat transfer takes you back along the Madre de Dios River. Upon arriving in Puerto Maldonado, you'll be assisted with your transfer to the airport or your next destination. This four-day Tambopata journey will leave you with unforgettable memories of wildlife, authentic culture, and your own meaningful contribution to Amazon conservation.
