We at Boundless Journeys are aware of and continue to follow the ongoing political situation in Peru. We are receiving updates from our operations team on the ground several times a week, and we continue to monitor State Department updates. Based on the information from our team, we remain optimistic that a peaceful resolution will be reached between the government and the protestors in the coming weeks or months.
In the meantime, we continue to take reservations for our scheduled trips to Peru this summer. We encourage you to call our office at 800.941.8010 with any questions you may have.
Experience another side of Peru on this exploration of lush forests in the Amazon River Basin. Thatched-roof bungalow accommodations and unusual wildlife – think toucans, tapirs, giant otters, monkeys, and more – complete your exclusive jungle experience.
Your journey to Tambopata National Reserve in Peru’s Amazon River Basin offers a range of land and river excursions that introduce you to the magic of the Southern Amazon rainforest. Create your own style of trip by selecting from different excursions with a range of three intensity levels, some ideal for children, while others are for the more intrepid. Upon arrival, you’ll schedule your guided excursions (subject to weather and depending on your desired activity level) with the lodge staff.
Into the Amazon River Basin
Your rainforest experience begins in Puerto Maldonado, where, after being picked up at the airport by lodge staff, you embark on a 45-minute boat ride along the wide Madre de Dios River. Upon arrival at Reserva Amazonica Lodge, bordering the Tambopata National Reserve, a guided walk along the lodge's trail system will introduce you to the many species of flora and fauna found in the forest. Before the evening meal, there is time for a twilight river excursion, followed by cocktails and dinner.
Reserva Amazonica LodgeTambopata National Reserve, Peru
Perched on the banks of the mighty Madre de Dios River in Peru?s Amazon River Basin, Reserva Amazonica Lodge offers individual cabaña style accommodations surrounded by the rainforest and miles of trails. Naturalist guided outings include rainforest walks, boating, and bird watching. Superior river view cabañas offer comfortable beds with canopy mosquito nets, lantern lighting, and screened siesta porch with relaxing hammocks. Luxury suites offer spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Enjoy extensive spa services, daily tea time, balconies for bird watching and star gazing, and a beautiful central lodge with bar and restaurant featuring authentic, local cuisine.
Lake Sandoval and Canopy Walk
Early risers will have the best opportunity for enjoying the variety of bird life in the area, and breakfast begins early, to avoid the heat of the day and enjoy nature at its fullest. This morning perhaps you'll choose to join an excursion to Sandoval Lake. After a short boat ride down river, we disembark and walk 1-2 miles over flat forest trail to Sandoval Lake. We board a platform style boat here, and ply the peaceful waters on the lookout for the rare giant otters that live in the lake. After lunch and an afternoon siesta, join other guests for a canopy walk across towers and suspension bridges, allowing you to discover the rich forest from another angle. If you like, linger to appreciate the sunset from one of the towers. This evening, after cocktails and dinner, the naturalist guides present a slide show to further enhance your understanding of this important ecosystem and its treasures.
Gamitana Creek
Today you can board the river boat once again for a trip to Gamitana Creek, 45 minutes from the lodge. Here, we have the opportunity to visit a small farm carved into the rainforest, where much of the produce for our lodge is grown. We enjoy a picnic lunch on the trail, and our guide introduces us to how the local farmers cultivate their fruits and vegetables. This afternoon, you will have some leisure time to just relax and enjoy your surroundings. If you like, you can indulge yourself with a spa service (at additional expense).
Butterfly Farm and Departure
After breakfast, we return by boat to Puerto Maldonado. Upon arrival, there is time to visit a local butterfly farm before proceeding to the airport.
