Reception at the airport, transfer to PS's office to prepare for the river trip and boarding of our motorized dugout canoes. On occasions, if the weather permits it, we will be driven in the bus for 30 minutes to an indian community where we will board the canoe, saving 2 hours of the boat ride. Depending of the hour we will have either a box lunch on the boat or lunch at arrival to the EI. During the trip we may see caymans, turtles and waterfowl, etc. After approx. 3 hours we will arrive at the EI lodge where we will be received with a welcome drink. We are now deep inside pristine rainforest and surrounded by its sounds. After a short rest we will have a short hike to a small lagoon and return in time to enjoy a jungle sunset at Sunset Point. After returning to the lodge we will board again the canoe for a short night ride to spot with flashlights caymans on the river banks. After returning we will have dinner, at which the Resident Naturalists (RNs) will be available to answer questions or brief us on the Amazon rainforest.

After an early breakfast, guided by one of our RNs, we will start a 3 ½ miles hike to Cocococha oxbow lake. On the way we will observe exotic plants and insects, colorful butterflies and birds, monkeys and, with luck, perhaps even some of the large mammals. At the lake canoes will be available for a ride around it watching the giant river otters and wildlife on the shoreline. Return to the EI for a late lunch. Afternoon free for relaxing or independent activities. Dinner.

Free for not guided independent activities.

Very early wake up and breakfast. Boarding of the canoe to return to Pto. Maldonado watching an unforgettable dawn on the Tambopata river. Transfer to the airport for return flight. End of services.
