Discovering the South of Peru

Enjoy a magical experience that begins with your arrival from Lima to Cusco, the vibrant heart of the ancient Inca Empire. Our team will warmly welcome you at the airport and transport you to your carefully selected hotel, where you can settle in and enjoy a comforting cup of coca tea.
After a well-deserved morning rest, get ready to immerse yourself in a journey through time. At 1:30 PM, we will dive into the depths of the Imperial City, where every stone tells an ancient story. The majestic Colonial Cathedral will whisper secrets of the fusion between two worlds, while the Temple of the Sun, Koricancha, will dazzle you with its golden splendor, a silent witness to Inca greatness.
But this is only the beginning. Prepare for your heart to race as you explore the impressive archaeological sites that crown the city and its surroundings. The imposing Sacsayhuamán Fortress will leave you breathless with its colossal, perfectly fitted stones, defying modern understanding. Tambomachay, with its mysterious fountains, will reveal the sophistication of Inca engineering.
As the evening falls and the sun bathes the Andean mountains in gold, our journey through the past will come to an end, but the magic is just beginning.

The day will begin with a visit to Pisaq, one of the most important archaeological complexes in the Sacred Valley, followed by a stroll through its colorful handicraft market. Afterward, you will enjoy lunch in Urubamba before continuing to Ollantaytambo, the last living Inca town, where you will explore its impressive fortress. From here, you will board the train that will take you to Aguas Calientes, where you will spend the night.

Night in Aguas Calientes 

You will have the privilege of being one of the first to enter Machu Picchu, where, accompanied by an expert guide, you will explore the most important points of the citadel. After the visit, you will return to Aguas Calientes for lunch or to explore the town. Then, you will take the train back to Cusco, and at night, you will head to the bus station to continue your journey to Puerto Maldonado.

Night travelling from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado

Upon arriving in Puerto Maldonado, we will greet you at the airport or terminal and transfer you to our office for registration and luggage storage. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the Plaza de Armas and admire the view from the Plaza Grau viewpoint, where the Madre de Dios and Tambopata rivers meet. Afterward, we’ll board a boat for a 40-minute ride on the Madre de Dios River to reach our lodge, where you’ll enjoy a refreshing fruit juice and settle into your room. Next, we’ll embark on a walk through the forest to the 35-meter-high Canopy Tower, where you can observe birds and take in the breathtaking Amazonian landscape. Afterward, you’ll experience the thrill of ziplining before returning to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll take kayaks and paddle along the river, with the opportunity to cool off in the waters of the Madre de Dios. Then, we’ll visit Monkey Island, where you can interact with capuchin monkeys and other species. At nightfall, we’ll embark on a boat ride to search for caimans under the spotlight, with the possibility of spotting white and dwarf caimans. Afterward, we’ll return to the lodge for dinner and plan the next day’s activity.

waken your senses with a sunrise in the Amazon jungle. In the morning, indulge in a nutritious breakfast that will prepare you for the adventure ahead. Next, we will enjoy a river journey on the majestic Madre de Dios River. For 40 minutes, let yourself be carried along by the waters that pulse through the heart of the Amazon, until we reach the entrance to the mystical Sandoval Lake. Here, nature invites you to uncover its secrets. After a brief registration at the Reserve's Control Post, we’ll begin a 3-kilometer hike that promises a feast for the senses. For 45 minutes, the jungle will whisper its secrets: the songs of exotic birds, the playful swing of monkeys in the branches, and the hum of life in its purest form. Upon reaching the shores of Sandoval Lake, a jewel of crystal-clear waters awaits. You can take a refreshing dip, then enjoy a traditional lunch, an explosion of Amazonian flavors. The afternoon brings new wonders. On a rowboat, silently glide across the lake in search of its elusive inhabitants. Hoatzins with their prehistoric appearance, elegant cormorants, and, if luck is on our side, playful river otters, the undeniable stars of this aquatic paradise. At sunset, when the sky is painted in warm tones, we’ll return to the Eco Lodge. But the adventure doesn't end here. For the adventurous, an optional night walk at 6:00 PM will reveal the mysteries of the jungle under the cover of darkness. The day ends with a dinner celebrating the flavors of the Amazon, followed by a well-deserved rest in your cozy accommodation, where the sounds of the jungle will lull you to sleep.

Very early in the morning, we’ll depart from our lodge by boat toward the fascinating "Parrot Clay Lick." We will sail for about an hour and a half along the Madre de Dios River, enjoying the awakening of the Amazon jungle and observing a wide variety of birds as the sun begins to light up the landscape. Upon arrival, we will settle in a strategic spot to witness the arrival of various species of parrots and, with some luck, macaws. Among the most common species are blue-headed parrots, aurora parrots, and parakeets, which come to this place to feed on the mineral-rich clay that neutralizes the toxins from the fruits they eat. For about an hour, you’ll be able to capture unique images and enjoy this natural spectacle while the jungle’s sunrise surrounds you with its magic. We will then return to the lodge for a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, we will visit an indigenous Amazonian family, where you will have the chance to experience their ancestral customs. You can interact with them, learn about their art and traditions, and, if you wish, support them by purchasing handmade crafts. At 1:00 PM, we will return to Puerto Maldonado, where you will be taken to the airport after enjoying lunch on your own.
