Transfer Airport to Pto Maldonado Headquarters. Upon arrival from Lima or Cusco, we will welcome you at the airport and drive you ten minutes to our Puerto Maldonado headquarters. While enjoying your first taste of the forest in our gardens we will ask you to pack only the necessary gear for your next few days, and leave the rest at our safe deposit. This helps us keep the boats and cargo light.
Puerto Maldonado to Tambopata River Port. Skirting Puerto Maldonado, we drive 20 kilometers to the Tambopata River Port, entering the Native Community of Infierno. The port is a communal business.
Boxed Lunch.
Tambopata River Port to Posada Amazonas. The forty five minute boat ride from the Tambopata Port to Posada Amazonas will take us into the Community´s Primary Forest Private Reserve.
Orientation. Upon arrival, the lodge manager will welcome you and brief you with important navigation and security tips.
Canopy tower: A twenty minute walk from Posada Amazonas leads to the 30 meter scaffolding canopy tower. A bannistered staircase running through the middle provides safe access to the platforms above. From atop you obtain spectacular views of the vast expanses of standing forest cut by the Tambopata River winding through the middle. Now and then toucans, parrots or macaws are seen flying against the horizon, or mixed species canopy flocks land in the treetop next to you.
Dinner.
Eco tourism Lecture. A daily presentation on the Infierno ecotourism project is available every night from a staff member.
Overnight in Posada Amazonas.
Breakfast.
Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake: Tres Chimbadas is thirty minutes by boat and forty five minutes hiking from Posada Amazonas. Once there you will paddle around the lake in a catamaran, searching for the resident family of nine giant river otters (seen by 60% of our lake visitors) and other lakeside wildlife such as caiman, hoatzin and horned screamers.
Parrot clay lick: This clay lick is only a twenty minute walk from Posada Amazonas. From a blind located about twenty meters away you will see dozens of parrots and parakeets descend on most clear mornings to ingest the clay on a river bank. Species such as Mealy and Yellow- headed Amazon, Blue-headed Parrot and Dusky headed Parakeet descend at this clay lick. The clay lick is most active at dawn and during the late mornings and mid-afternoons.
Lunch.
Ethnobotanical Tour: A twenty minute boat drive down river leads you to a trail designed by the staff of the Centro Ñape. The Centro Ñape is a communal organization that produces medicines out of forest plants and administers them to patients who choose their little clinic. They have produced a trail which explains the different medicinal (and other) uses of selected plants.
Dinner.
Night walk. You will have the option of hiking out at night, when most of the mammals are active but rarely seen. Much easier to find are frogs with shapes and sounds as bizarre as their natural histories.

El tour de la Posada Amazonas fue el mejor regalo de cumpleaños que le pude hacer a mi mamá (y a mi misma), gracias Julio por organizar todo para nosotras, los lugares que visitamos estuvieron increíbles, de verdad fueron unas vacaciones inolvidables.
Saludos desde Bogotá. Éxitos con Karikuy!! 🙂
The tour is nice and peaceful, along with a lot of bugs and mosquitos so be prepared! Also you can find a lot of wonderful nature. At night was cold but with all my friends we had a great time, I truly recommend it. Peru is so lovely.
I needed a change in my life, for that reason I started my trip. I didn’t expect to discover all the wonderful nature that Puerto Maldonado offer. The Posada Amazonas is a comfortable heaven in the middle of the jungle. The food was amazing. You can wake up and see toucans from the window!! I highly recommend this tour agency.
Karikuy organized all our honey moon trips for us. We never worried about anything visiting Puerto Maldonado and The National Reserve, they have a plan for everything and we always had a nice time. The Posada is really comfortable and perfect for being in touch with nature. Thank you all.
Karikuy Tours es una agencia muy buena, la comida y la bebida es de primera calidad, la selva peruana es muy hermosa! El clima es muy agradable. El ambiente y su gente me dejó sin palabras. Muchas gracias 🙂 recomedado 100%
