Your Peru Amazon Adventures begin when we pick you up from your hotel or the airport in Puerto Maldonado. From here, we take a 45-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios River to reach the wonderful Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica. After a short briefing, you can settle into your beautiful cabaña and then have lunch in the dining room.
In the afternoon, you can meet your highly experienced jungle guide and choose from the various excursions available at the lodge. You can head off on a guided walk along the rainforest trail system to explore the Amazon Basin, passing by incredible trees such as the shihuahuaco and the strangler fig, observing huge numbers of colorful birds and exotic insects.
Later, you can go on the Twilight River excursion, a guided boat ride on the Madre de Dios River. During the excursion, you can see the incredible change in the jungle as the sun sets and the nocturnal world comes alive. After dark, we can look for nightjars, owls, capybaras and big caimans. Returning to the lodge, you can then enjoy a delicious dinner in the main dining room. Afterwards, you can relax in your cabaña or head out into the grounds to experience more of the rainforest and the cacophony of magnificent sounds of the jungle at night.

After breakfast, we will explore the amazing Inkaterra Canopy Walkway and the Anaconda Walk. The Canopy Walkway takes us up a 29-meter-tall tower into the treetop realm. Stretching for more than a quarter of a mile, the walkway takes you through the canopy on a suspension bridge network linking eight observation platforms. From this awe-inspiring vantage point, we’ll look out for toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys, and the three-toed sloth.
After lunch, we will head to River Island This is a 20-minute boat ride to an uninhabited river island close to Amazon Field Station by Inkaterra where you can see the striking contrast of vegetation within the transition rainforest. We will pull up to the large sandbank island and walk through jungle trails on this floodplain which provides the island with an ecosystem rich in birdlife, including the Amazonian umbrella bird, one of the most sought-after species by birdwatchers.
*Optional: Sandoval Lake
The famous Lake Sandoval is found in the Tambopata National Reserve. We can take canoes out onto the beautiful Oxbow Lake, which is home to endangered giant river otters, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans, and other incredible animal species.

Today we’ll head out to Gamitana Creek, located about 25 minutes by boat from the lodge. Here we can explore the rainforest for about 1.5 hours, heading along the banks of a winding, dark-water creek. Wildlife is abundant in these waters and along the banks, where piranhas, caiman, turtles, and birds all live.
Heading back downstream, we’ll visit the Gamitana Farm for a short guided tour, where you’ll see how the local farmers grow fruits and vegetables. We’ll then return to the lodge for lunch and afterwards set off on the Hacienda Concepcion excursion, during which we can see more than 200 different plant species and learn how they are used to make all kinds of things, including traditional jungle medicine.
Next, we can go on a 30-minute canoe trip to look for turtles, sungrebes, nightjars, and exotic herons.
