“ECOLOGICAL NATURE RESERVE”
Day 01: MONKEY ISLAND (Isla de los Monos)
Arrival in Puerto Maldonado, followed by transfer to the river dock where we board our boat and set forth upon an unforgettable journey down the Madre de Dios River. Along the way can be observed the alligators (caimanes), water turtles (charapas) and other fauna, as well as herons and varieties of bird species. Upon arrival at the EcoAmazonía Lodge, and enjoying an exquisite –and typical- welcome drink, you will settle in our comfortable bungalows. Lunch ensues shortly. Afterwards, in the company and assistance of our specialized guide, we visit Monkey Island (“Isla de los Monos”). Located only five minutes from the Lodge, in the middle of the Madre de Dios river, the Monkey Island hosts an ample variety of species of monkeys: These range from the noisy ones such as the Maquisapa (Spider Monkey), the happy Achuñi (Nasua nasua d.), the very impressive Fraile (Squirrel Monkey) to the very little and funny Leoncito, “little lions” (Tití –Cebuella pygmaea). The trip to the island affords very beautiful sightseeing of the local landscape as well as the flora and fauna that they host. And to top it all off, there is that breathtaking and sublime jungle sunset …
DAY 02 : LAKE APU VICTOR
The start of the day is heralded by the beautiful singing of birds After breakfast we set off on our hike through the deep forest, following paths and trails with bridges surmounting deep ravines. Along the way to we shall have a chance to observe the “Cave of the Caymans” Continuing our walk, we eventually arrive at the majestic setting of LAKE APU VICTOR, a body of beautiful crystalline waters, surrounded by extensive swamps, and gigantic trees. After awhile we shall climb to the Mirador Amazónico, an overlook eminently suited for the purpose of bird watching. From this point we can enjoy a panoramic view of the lake as well as observe the numerous Parrots, Guacamayos (Macaws), Tucans, Camungos (Hornbill), Shanshos (Hoatzin) and Egrets, as well as other animal species that abound in the area, such as caymans, turtles and –with luck- the Giant Otter (Lutra incarum). After several hours, we effect our return to the Lodge and partake of lunch.
In the afternoon, we shall visit the Gamitana river, the source of which lies in the deep jungle, thus making it rather different from most of the other rivers, whose waters come tumbling down from the mountains. Along the shores can be seen caimans and turtles, other fauna and many kinds of butterflies. It is also possible to go for a swim. Back at Lodge in time for dinner.

DAY 02 : “COCHA PERDIDA” (Lost Lake)
After breakfast we set forth on an adventure thought the virgin jungle, led by our professional local guide: today’s hike will take us to the “Cocha Perdida” (Lost Cocha). This site effectively constitutes a unique protected Ecosystem, Refuge and Feeding ground for a great diversity of jungle fauna including Nutria, Otter (Lutra incarum), Cayman (New World Crocodile), Turtles (Charapa), Sachavaca (Amazonian Tapir) the majestic Jaguar, or Otorongo (Panthera onça).As well as many birds of striking plumage as well as an ample variety of species of fish. This area is unique and distinctively particular to the EcoAmazonía Reserve, by virtue of having remained altogether unaltered, and conveniently surrounded by large swamps and wetlands. One of the highlights of today’s tour is certainly the ascent to the “Mirador” (the “Amazonian Overlook”) built atop the greatest of treetops in the Amazonian forest, the revered “Shihuahuaco” (Diptrax alata, a relative of the Mimosa and Copaiba family) from where a grand view of the great and magical forest can be admired. This is complemented by a pleasant canoe tour around the lake, after which we return to the Lodge and a well earned lunch.

DAY 03: PALMA REAL
After breakfast, we shall navigate down the Madre de Dios River for approximately 2 hours. Along the banks, we catch sights of a variety of flora and fauna, as well as witness the activities of miners panning for gold. At the end of our 2 hour trip, we will pay a visit to the closest of the native indigenous communities, located at the site known as Palma Real. These folks belong to the Huarayo ethnic group who, albeit having been exposed to and assimilated some aspects of western “civilization”, have nonetheless succeeded in preserving a great degree of their original customs, myths and beliefs, as well as ritual behavior.
This native Huarayo human settlement constitutes a singular space richly nourished with traditional wisdom and lore and represents an example of harmonious interaction between humans and the jungle environment –together integrating the wholeness of life and world. Through our contact with the guide, we will come to know that these people possess a life of their own –their accounting of the passage of time being marked by the sun, the moon, the stars and the waters. A space where people, plants, animal creatures, rivers and virtually all expressions and forms of life are combined into a compact and indivisible world. A world where all and everything bears a message and a meaning. We shall be able to acquire their handy crafts and folk art -the product of their creativity and dexterity- and, hopefully participate alongside in their traditional singing and dancing. Having departed this unique community, we shall partake of lunch aboard our boat, passing along the way the valley of Palma Real which is graced with a very beautiful landscape and natural splendor. Sometime later, we will arrive back at the Lodge. Diner and overnight.
