Ultimate Tambopata Immersion: 5-Day Private Amazon Luxury Experience

Upon your arrival in Puerto Maldonado, you'll be warmly welcomed by your private guide. From there, enjoy a scenic boat transfer along the Madre de Dios River. As the landscape shifts from town to thick rainforest, the anticipation builds. Your luxury eco-lodge awaits, nestled in a private section of the reserve. After settling into your private suite and enjoying a welcome drink, stretch your legs with a gentle walk along nearby trails to spot tropical birds, capuchins, and sloths. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared with fresh Amazonian ingredients before a short night walk introduces you to the jungle’s nocturnal sounds and creatures.

Rise early and head to one of the most iconic wildlife experiences in South America—the Macaw Clay Lick. Dozens of scarlet, blue-and-yellow, and red-and-green macaws gather to feed on the mineral-rich cliffs, creating an explosion of color and sound. After breakfast back at the lodge, relax or enjoy time in a hammock before your afternoon adventure: the Canopy Tower. Ascend above the rainforest canopy on a secure, elevated platform to experience the Amazon from a bird’s-eye view. Spot toucans, howler monkeys, and harpy eagles as your guide explains the complex layers of the rainforest ecosystem. Return for a candle-lit dinner and fireside storytelling about life in the Amazon.

This morning, set out on the Bamboo Trail—a unique section of forest that harbors rare wildlife, including tamarins, howler monkeys, and elusive birds like the bamboo antshrike. Walk slowly and quietly as your guide helps you spot and identify various species along this dynamic corridor. In the afternoon, visit the 8 Primate Project, a research initiative focused on protecting and monitoring the region’s eight native primate species. You’ll have a rare opportunity to meet researchers, understand their work, and even assist in basic data collection. The day closes with a discussion on conservation and your impact as a responsible traveler.

After a hearty breakfast, head deep into the forest along the Creek Trail. Cross gentle streams and shaded paths as your guide reveals hidden insects, frogs, and medicinal plants. Then, embark on the Rainforest Master Hike—an extended exploration into remote primary forest areas untouched by development. This off-the-beaten-path hike offers chances to see tapir tracks, giant trees, and hidden lagoons, making it perfect for seasoned adventurers and nature lovers. Return by late afternoon to unwind and soak in the jungle ambiance before a well-earned dinner.

Enjoy a slow morning soaking in the Amazon’s final gifts. Lounge by the river, journal your reflections, or enjoy one last guided walk to spot otters, capybaras, or monkeys on the riverbanks. After a relaxing brunch, your private boat returns you to Puerto Maldonado, where your guide will ensure a smooth airport transfer. You leave with lasting memories of untamed beauty, thoughtful conservation, and personalized adventure.
