Wild Amazonia
Headlamps, boots and silence. Our local guides take you where Tambopata's wildlife actually moves — to the place where the rainforest doesn't know you're watching.
Itinerary
The journey begins when you arrive in Puerto Maldonado to board an outboard boat along the Madre de Dios River to Ecolucerna Lodge (approximately 1 1⁄2 hrs downriver). Upon arrival you will enjoy a tasty lunch made from organic ingredients and native flavors. After lunch you will take a walk along the natural trails, where you will discover and learn about the primary and secondary forest, its components, uses, man-made transformations, and its relevance to the world. This walk will end at night where you will have the opportunity to observe the behavior of nocturnal flora and fauna of the Amazon.
Returning to the Lodge you will enjoy a restorative traditional dinner.
Meals: Lunch and dinner
Today you will live a day full of emotions. After having a nutritious breakfast, you will get ready for a walk along the Tambopata National Reserve, which will take you to Sandoval Lake. Here you will understand why Madre de Dios is known as the biodiversity capital of Peru. You will learn about the conservation work of the Reserve and about the formation of the lake, sailing in a canoe through this body of water, home of the endangered giant otter, the blue and yellow macaw, and one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, “the Paiche”.

Today will be a morning of adventure, we head to the bridges built 15 meters above the ground, right in the treetops with a privileged view that will allow us to enjoy a unique, relaxing and informative landscape. We will have the opportunity to observe birds, and if we are lucky, some mammals in the middle of the Amazon. This walk also shows us the rescue center, a foundation with which ECOLUCERNA collaborates very actively and daily in the effort to preserve the biological life of our ecosystem. Get to know exotic species and their fascinating history on this tour.
In the afternoon, after lunch, immerse yourself in the culture of the Peruvian Amazon during our artisanal fishing experience, a practice that few travelers enjoy but will teach you how magical it can be to explore the rivers and streams in the Bajo Madre de Dios.

A closer look
Included, and beyond
Track Tambopata's wildlife on its own terms
Wild Amazonia moves past the river-bank routes most visitors never leave. Local guides take you deeper into the Tambopata National Reserve, into the sections of rainforest where the animals haven't adjusted their behavior for a passing boat.
Timed to the rainforest, not a schedule
Caimans surface after dark. Macaws gather at first light. This tour is built around those hours — extended night walks along the Madre de Dios River, early departures for the moments most itineraries sleep through.
Who this tour is for
For travelers who've already seen the postcard version of the Amazon rainforest and want past it — wildlife photographers, naturalists, and anyone who'd rather find a caiman's eyes in a spotlight than a swimming pool.
