Dec 27, Day One
Lima, Peru

Your flight will probably arrive in Lima late in the day, and we will spend the night at the Manhattan Hotel. This is just a short stop before we head into the jungle. There is little to compare to the experience of time in an almost pristine rainforest.  After a quick night's rest, we'll be ready for our exciting journey!  (Meals Included: None)

Dec 28, Day Two
Puerto Maldonando and the Tambopata River

After an early breakfast, we'll catch a flight to Puerto Maldonando where we begin our adventure on the Tambopata river. The Tambopata Research Center is 7 hours up river, but the trip is full of interesting things to see along the way. These might include greenwings lounging in the trees or eating on the clay licks, or capybara resting on the sand. We'll have lunch in the boat, and then stop part way at the Refugio Amazonas Lodge for the evening. (Meals B, L, D)

Dec 29, Day Three to Six
Tambopata Research Center

We will finish our trip up river in the morning, headed to the Tambopata Research Center. There are many activities to choose from while we are there, like hiking, climbing towers to look over the rainforest canopy, tagging along with the scientists to check on macaw nests, or simply hanging out in a hammock with a good book. We will have plenty of time to see other incredible animals such as capybara, peccaries, tapir, spider and capuchin monkeys, and even possibly jaguars or puma. (Meals B, L, D)

Jan 2-3, Days Seven and Eight
Posada Amazonas Lodge and
Travel back to Lima or Macchu Pichu

On January 2nd, we will head part way down river and spend the night at Posadas Amazonas. While at this lodge we will have the opportunity for some additional walks and tours.  On the 3rd, we will complete our trip down the Tambopata River back to Puerto Maldonando. Unfortunately, it's time to leave the amazing and wonderous world of the Peruvian rainforest. Here we will catch a plane back to Lima for our flights home, or for those wanting to continue the adventure, we have an extension planned for Machu Picchu ($1,472 per person). (Meals B)
