Moderately active but not overly strenuous. This level includes activities like casual cycling, yoga, or excursions/activities that typically last 3-5 hours total each day.
Upon arrival to the Puerto Maldonado airport, transfer to the fluvial port to reach Posada Amazonica by two-hour boat journey.* You will be able to see the great diversity of birds while touring the Madre de Dios River. Flowing along 1150 kilometers, the Madre de Dios crosses most of the national Manu and Tambopata National Reserves. The Tambopata National Reserve, which has an area of one million and a half hectares, has been the subject of several TV documentaries due to its exuberant flora and fauna.
After arriving at the lodge and getting settled in your bungalow, take a short tour to get acquainted with the area that surrounds the lodge. Have dinner and rest to make the most out of the next day ahead.
*Note: Only medium-size luggage is allowed during your accommodation in the lodges of Maldonado. The maximum luggage weight allowed in Inkaterra and Hacienda Concepcion is 10kg (22lb). The maximum weight of luggage allowed in Refugio or Posada Amazonas is 15kg (33lb). During your stay, larger luggage will remain stored.
After breakfast at the lodge, take a 15-minute boat ride headed for Lake Tres Chimbadas. Once at the lake, take a canoe trip across its shores to have a closer look at the local fauna: giant otters, turtles, and shanshos--birds with a prehistoric appearance. Return to the lodge to have lunch and later tour the nearby walking paths. Watch a great variety of insects and--if you are lucky--vipers, deer and other larger animals from a very short distance.
Later, after dinner, take a night tour to observe the animals that only leave their lairs in the darkness.
Enjoy breakfast and take a short hike to a nearby collpa. Collpas are clay deposits rich in minerals, which parrots and macaws visit in large quantities to eat. After watching hundreds of birds fluttering around in front of you, return to the lodge for lunch. Later in the afternoon, set off on a hike through a primary forest accompanied by a naturalist guide.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
Having done a trip in the past with Adventure Life, I found picking a trip and customizing it was a breeze and fit everything I wanted
