Our tours provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness this pristine ecosystem’s incredible flora and fauna. Explore the lush rainforest, and spot exotic wildlife with local culture before connecting to Machu Picchu.
Organize your flight from Lima or another place in Peru to Puerto Maldonado in the morning!
Upon arrival in Puerto Maldonado, our local guide and vehicle driver await travelers. Look for the sign with your name; we travel for 15 minutes to the port of Capitanía to board the motorized wooden boat to navigate the Madre de Dios River waters towards the eco-lodge.
ACTIVITIES:
There are several activities! But they could vary according to climate; We adapt as best as possible for unique vacations and experiences in the Amazon Rain Forest. The main activities are the following:
MORNING ACTIVITY
We enter the Madre de Dios River by motor boat towards the Peruvian National Primary Jungle Reserve through Tambopata towards Lake Sandoval. Enjoy a great short hike for about 45 minutes until you reach Sandoval Lake exploring the fauna and flora.
At Sandoval Lake, we board a small rowboat to paddle around the lake in search of the best photographs, wildlife such as river otters, sometimes exotic birds, and the dense forest.
AFTERNOON ACTIVITY
Venture out on a canopy hike to get a better perspective of the jungle with your photographic lenses; sometimes, some monkeys or birds walk and fly around the canopy.
NIGHT ACTIVITY
A short night walk to explore specific insects and trees, enjoying the incredible sounds of nature for a complete experience. The night hike follows one of the eco-lodge trails.
At dawn, discover the parrot clay lick; bird watch activities of different varieties that visit the Collpa. The boat tour with sighting lasts about two hours. At approximately 10:00 a.m., we return to Puerto Maldonado, heading to the airport.
NOTE: Please organize your air flight to Cusco afternoon to fully enjoy the early morning and mid-morning inside the jungle.
When you arrive at the Cusco airport, our Andean guide and vehicle driver awaits visitors to transport them to their hotel in downtown Cusco. To acclimatize to the Andes, we recommend drinking fresh Coca tea.
At 1:00 p.m., a guided tour of the incredible ruins on the outskirts of Cusco with short walks to have an excellent Inca exploration.
SITES TO EXPLORE:
NOTE: The principal suitcases are left at the hotel in Cusco! To Machu Picchu, we take only what is necessary.
At 07:30, we go on an excursion to the enchanting Sacred Valley of the Incas to explore the most incredible Inca ruins. Enjoy a walk through the Pisac ruins and the Pisac colonial indigenous market to gain insight into culture and tradition. It ends with a visit to the ruins of Ollantaytambo, with its intricate Inca streets and the temple of the sun.
We board the train service in the afternoon to travel for an hour and a half until we reach Machu Picchu Pueblo to spend the night near Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu, the Inca citadel that lasted centuries to know and visit! It complements our vacation in Peru. In the morning, we have a guided tour of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, starting the visit at the top or around the Inca guard house, where you can see the Inca citadel in all its splendor.
The visit to Machu Picchu takes about 2 hours, visiting the relevant Inca sites that make it, such as the agricultural area, residential area, the temple of the sun, the Inca quarry, the sundial, the house of the chosen ones of the sun, etc.
After noon we return by train and vehicle to Cusco—arriving in Cusco at approximately 5:30 p.m. to prepare for the next day.
At 05:30, we start the trip south of Cusco towards the Andes for 3 hours until we reach the beginning of the adventure of the rainbow mountain! To get to the top of the rainbow mountain on the way out, we use horses for about 50 minutes so as not to feel the elevations of the Andes and make the visit more enjoyable.
At the top, venture out to take several photos and videos, spotting all the charm of the rainbow mountain, like the valleys of the Andes but with elevations worthy of the snow-capped Ausangate.
After enjoying the panoramic views of the rainbow mountain, we walk about 40 minutes until we reach the parking lot, “the return is easy since it is down a hill.”
To the itinerary that travelers organize their flight to another destination in Peru or Lima to travel to their country of origin, we offer a transfer service from the Cusco hotel to the Cusco airport.
