Day 1 - Puerto Maldonado - Arrival to Hacienda Concepcion

Begin your Amazon adventure in Puerto Maldonado, the Capital of Biodiversity. After a 25-minute boat ride on the Madre de Dios River, you will arrive at Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción Lodge. Settle into your cabin or room and enjoy a buffet lunch at Casa Grande before heading into the trails of Concepción, where you will discover the diversity of Amazonian flora and fauna in a protected environment. As night falls, participate in a boat ride and watch the jungle transform, spotting caimans on the banks and enjoying a starry sky. End the day with a dinner inspired by native ingredients and the night sounds of the jungle. (L, D)

Start your day with a buffet breakfast from 05:30 before visiting Sandoval Lake, a beautiful body of water in the Tambopata National Reserve. Navigate in a wooden canoe through the lake's canals, home to diverse species such as birds, giant river otters and black caimans. Return to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción for lunch. In the afternoon, experience the exciting Inkaterra Canopy Walkway and Anaconda Walkway, where you can observe the forest from the treetops.

Day 3 - Native farming excursion - Visit to the botanical garden - Fishing activity

After breakfast at the lodge, explore our organic bio-garden, where you will discover tropical plants and their medicinal uses according to local traditions. Then, visit the Palmetum, a collection of Amazonian palm trees dedicated to restoration and conservation. In the afternoon, enjoy paddling a wooden canoe on the Cocha Concepción, a horseshoe-shaped lagoon formed by the remnants of the Madre de Dios River. Navigate its clay-colored waters while watching birds such as shanshos and flycatchers, with the roar of howler monkeys in the background. Admire the remains of the Fitzcarrald steamboat and learn about its history, which inspired the film “Fitzcarraldo” by Werner Herzog. Before dinner, join the Collpas Tierra Adentro excursion to visit a clay lick. Although spotting wildlife can be a matter of luck, you will learn how these clay walls attract various mammals near the lodge. (B, L, D)
