On arrival you will be greeted with a welcoming cocktail. Lunch. After a brief rest, we will go on the first excursion that will take us deep into the tropical forest in order to discover a great variety of medicinal plants, tropical trees, insects and butterflies, on a 21/2 or 3-hour walk. We take a short stop on a vantage point to watch the rate of the toucans and other birds. Return to the lodge, before dinner we will go on an amusing nocturnal "caiman safari" onboard a vessel. Dinner.

DAY 02: Corto Maltes
We wake up at 05:30 hours in order to go on a 20-minute hike to the clay lick, where a minimum of 5 different species of parrots come down to lick an especial type of clay, indispensable for their metabolism. It is a truly wonderful and thrilling spectacle. Later we will return to the lodge for breakfast to then set out bound for the Isle of the Monkeys, a place where some species of these interesting animals live at total ease. We continue our trip in a canoe for approximately 30 minutes, until reaching the magical and awesome Sandoval Lake. We will go on a 5-kilometre hike across the exuberant tropical forest and later enjoy a picnic under the trees.

The lake is a privileged place where numerous animal species dwell, such as the river otter, gigantic and tiny birds such as the hoatzins, green kingfishers and anhingas, or monkeys such as the howler monkeys, common squirrel monkeys or brownfaced capuchins as well as the most famous piranha and the huge paiche or giant arapaima, a fish that can measure up to 2.50 metres and weigh more than 200 kilos. All these can be discovered comfortably installed in a rowing canoe until sunset.

We return up to the river at dusk in order to watch some nocturnal animals. After a good renovating shower we will dine, and those interested can participate in an amusing chat lying on the hammocks placed at the restaurant's terrace.

DAY 03: Corto Maltes / Puerto Maldonado
Breakfast and trip back to the city, where we will visit the fruit market of Puerto Maldonado if time allows. Transfer to the airport for your departure. Note: The visit to the market can be arranged on the first day, depending on the time of arrival or departure to and from Puerto Maldonado
