This 3-Day Posada Amazonas Peruvian Jungle Program is for you if you have never experienced a jungle adventure! Meet the real guardians of the Amazon rainforest, the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno — an indigenous group of Peru whose ancestral land is located in the Tambopata River.The 3-Day Posada Amazonas jungle adventure will take you through a walk amongst the treetops of the Peruvian Jungle from a canopy tower, and you will enjoy a marvelous visit to an ethnobotanical trail created and managed by the villagers, who will share their traditions with you. Also, watch at dawn the colorful spectacle of macaws and parrots flocking on the clay lick, and visit the calm waters of Lake Tres Chimbadas, while staying at Posada Amazonas all-inclusive lodge with an outstanding service.
You can add an extension to Machu Picchu, after your jungle program. We recommend our:
Flight Lima/Cusco – Puerto Maldonado (arriving before 13:00 hours – booked on your own).
Welcome to the Jungle!
Arrive in Puerto Maldonado, the capital of Madre de Dios, and join a 2-hour journey by bus and boat to the lodge. Your first taste of the Amazon cuisine will be in the river, while you leave the city behind to enjoy the amazing jungle landscapes.
Canopy Tower:
This hiking will lead you to the 40-meter scaffolding Canopy Tower. A banister 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.
Wildlife in the Amazon takes advantage of the first lights of the day as it is cooler, and so we do. Even if you are on vacation, there will be some activities that our guides encourage you to make very early in the morning that are worth it.
Explore the Oxbow Lake: Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake is thirty minutes by boat and forty-five minutes hiking from Posada Amazonas. Once there, 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. Otters are most active from dawn to 8 or 9 a.m.
Medicinal Plants Trail: 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 that explains the different medicinal (and other) uses of selected plants.
Night Walk: You will have the option of a night walk, when most of the mammals are active but rarely seen. It is much easier to find frogs with shapes and sounds as bizarre as their natural histories.
Our expedition has come to an end. Your visit will make a direct contribution to the Ese Eja Native Community of Infierno in its efforts to protect Tambopata. You will take the journey back to the city to the airport for your national flight Puerto Maldonado to Cusco/Lima (departing after 11:30 hours).

Posada Amazonas Lodge is a spacious ecolodge, with a bar, a massage center, and buffet service in the heart of a private concession owned by the Native Community of Infierno, the guardians of the rainforest.

Tambopata is undoubtedly one of the best places to foster a love for nature in the youngest explorers. However, being a remote place, these are our recommendations:
Children under 3 years old – Due to the weather conditions, location, and orientation of the activities, we do not suggest traveling with children under 3 years of age. The activities are in group service. Private service is available at an additional cost.
From 3 to 7 years old – For little adventurers, we recommend Posada Amazonas or Refugio Amazonas. These ecolodges have a playground and activities designed for children. Take note that there are some activities that require getting up early.
From 8 to more – If your child is adventurous and is used to taking walks for more than 1 hour, the Tambopata Research Center is ideal.
Although it can rain at any time of the year, the Tambopata region tends to be drier from May until October. The rains start up in mid-November and continue until April. The upsides to visiting during the dry season are the trails that are not muddy, little chance of activities being affected by the rain, and more macaws and parrots on the clay licks. The downsides to visiting during the dry season are hotter weather, less bird activity on sunny days, more difficulty in finding amphibians, and more travel time on rivers due to low water levels.
The shoulder seasons (April and November) can offer good wildlife viewing opportunities with fewer crowds.
Camera, binoculars, light-colored & long cotton pants, long-sleeved & light-colored cotton shirts, ankle-high hiking boots and sneakers, flashlight (headlamp) with batteries, sunblock lotion, sunglasses, broad-brimmed hat, rain suit or poncho, insect repellent, small-denomination bills, small daypack, slippers or sandals for walking around the lodge (hiking shoes are not allowed inside the lodges)
The lodge is run mainly through a generator. Communications are powered by solar energy and LED bulbs are used in public areas at night.
There is electricity in common areas three times per day: From 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. / from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. (referential times). You will find Wi-Fi at the lodge. Please note that internet connection might vary on weather conditions and the number of guests.
