Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica - 4 Days

After breakfast, we will explore the amazing Inkaterra Canopy Walkway and the Anaconda Walk. The Canopy Walkway takes us up a 29-meter-tall tower into the treetop realm. Stretching for more than a quarter of a mile, the walkway takes you through the canopy on a suspension bridge network linking eight observation platforms. From this awe-inspiring vantage point, we’ll look out for toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys, and the three-toed sloth.
After lunch, we will head to River Island This is a 20-minute boat ride to an uninhabited river island close to Amazon Field Station by Inkaterra where you can see the striking contrast of vegetation within the transition rainforest. We will pull up to the large sandbank island and walk through jungle trails on this floodplain which provides the island with an ecosystem rich in birdlife, including the Amazonian umbrella bird, one of the most sought-after species by birdwatchers.

*Optional: Sandoval Lake
The famous Lake Sandoval is found in the Tambopata National Reserve. We can take canoes out onto the beautiful Oxbow Lake, which is home to endangered giant river otters, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans, and other incredible animal species.

*All activities and excursions are subject to change according to weather conditions and seasons.

Today we’ll head out to Gamitana Creek, located about 25 minutes by boat from the lodge. Here we can explore the rainforest for about 1.5 hours, heading along the banks of a winding, dark-water creek. Wildlife is abundant in these waters and along the banks, where piranhas, caiman, turtles, and birds all live.  

Heading back downstream, we’ll visit the Gamitana Farm for a short guided tour, where you’ll see how the local farmers grow fruits and vegetables. We’ll then return to the lodge for lunch and afterwards set off on the Hacienda Concepcion excursion, during which we can see more than 200 different plant species and learn how they are used to make all kinds of things, including traditional jungle medicine.

Next, we can go on a 30-minute canoe trip to look for turtles, sungrebes, nightjars, and exotic herons.  

In the evening, you can take part in the Rainforest by Night excursion through the Inkaterra Ecological Reserve. This two-hour trip takes you into the forest to experience the wonderful nocturnal world in the jungle and the amazing sounds that accompany it.

Sadly, today is the final day of this Amazon adventure. After a breakfast buffet, we’ll take the boat back to Puerto Maldonado. If you have time before your flight, we can visit the butterfly house where you can see a stunning array of colorful butterflies, some small and some as large as your hand. You can learn all about the life stages of these beautiful insects, and walk among them as they flutter around. Then we’ll take you to the airport or to your hotel in Puerto Maldonado. We hope you enjoyed your wonderful experience at the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica Lodge in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest!
