Itinerary
DAY 1
Welcome to Puerto Maldonado! After picking you up, we will travel to the river port of this Peruvian city and board a canoe to head to the Tambopata National Reserve lodge.
On this first night you will only drink a light broth, vegetable soup or water, as your stomach must be prepared for the ayahuasca ceremony, which will begin at around 8:00 p.m.
During the rite, a native shaman will officiate the ceremony, helping us understand the main concepts of Andean cosmology. In addition, we will taste the famous ayahuasca brew, which is made with medicinal plants from the area. We will learn about the esoteric mysteries of this ancient drink!
DAY 2
This day will begin with a light walk through the jungle, where we will learn about the main medicinal plants and their uses by native communities.
In the afternoon, we will climb to a viewing point from where we will observe the immensity of the jungle and look for birds such as eagles and macaws. When the sun sets, we will take a night walk to look for insects or other animals that can only be seen at night.
DAY 3
On the third day we will have an early breakfast and set off towards the Cocococha Lagoon, where we will take a five and a half kilometre walk to observe its flora and fauna. We will look for the elusive giant otters of Tambopata, and we will observe the shanshos, a species of exotic bird.
We will return to the lodge for lunch, and in the afternoon we will visit the Laguna Chica, where we will admire the surroundings until sunset. You can take advantage of the evening lights to take some fantastic photos before returning to the lodge.
DAY 4
After breakfast, we will sail to the Puerto Maldonado pier. From this pier we will take you to the airport with plenty of time.
Accommodation and meals
This trip includes 3 nights of accommodation in a lodge in Tambopata. The accommodation is on a full-board basis, so all breakfasts, lunches and dinners are included (except on the day of the ayahuasca ceremony, when you will not be able to eat anything).
