If time allows, a short introductory stop may be made near Puerto Maldonado before continuing toward the Amazon.

We travel to the river port and board a motorized canoe for a scenic journey along the Madre de Dios River.

During the boat ride, keep watch along the riverbanks for birds, turtles and other Amazon wildlife.

Upon arrival at the eco-lodge, you will receive a refreshing welcome drink made with tropical fruits before checking into your private room.
