Fluß TambopataItinerary
Day 1: Arrive Puerto Maldonado and journey to the lodge
Following your early morning flight to Puerto Maldonado from Lima (1:20hours) or Cusco (25 minutes), you will be met at the airport by your naturalist guide and transferred to a motorized dugout canoe for the trip up the Tambopata River to the lodge. On the journey the vegetation changes from colonized deforested areas to virgin rain forest. A box-lunch is provided on board. On arrival you'll have a welcome drink and meet the rest of the staff. In the late afternoon you set off for an introductory walk into the "terra firme" forest behind the lodge (Trail 2), dominated by giant Brazil-nut and Dipteryx trees. Frequently seen mammals on this trail are Saddleback Tamarins, Brown Capuchins, Agoutis, Pacas, Blue-Morpho butterflies, Trogons, Toucans and many other species of birds. Night in Tambopata Jungle Lodge.
Day 2: Trip to the Macaw Clay-lick (Collpa)
After breakfast you return to the canoe to continue the journey upstream, a further 4 hrs, to an area deep within the Reserve Zone where the isolated Collpa is situated. The Collpa is actually one of the large clay cliffs lining the Tambopata River in this area. After lunch you and your guide have the afternoon to explore the trail system in the area. Camping on the beach near the Collpa.
Day 3: Visit the Macaw Clay-lick (Collpa) and return to Tambopata Jungle Lodge
A pre-dawn start is needed to get to the clay-lick before the birds, that arrive in search of minerals and salts and the digestive properties of the clay particles themselves. On average several hundred Macaws and smaller parrots visit the clay-lick daily, including Scarlet, Blue and Yellow, Red and Green, and Chestnut-fronted and Blue-headed parrots, among others. This clay-lick is considered one of the largest in the world. Following a late morning hike and lunch we return down river to the lodge. Night in Tambopata Jungle Lodge.
Day 4: Return to Puerto Maldonado
A dawn start is required for the canoe trip back to Puerto Maldonado giving memorable views of the sun rise over the river. Lookout for the early morning wildlife which is particularly active at this time. Howler monkeys are frequently heard as they stake-out their territories. Your guide will take care of you on arrival in Puerto Maldonado and will deal with all the necessities at the airport prior to your departure.
Additional days at the Collpa:
