ITINERARIO
DAY 1: CUSCO - CLOUD FOREST - PAUCARTAMBO - PILCOPATA
We will pick you up from your hotel in our bus between 5:30am and 6:00am and then depart Cusco, ascending through the Andes to the Paucartambo area. On the way, we will visit the ancient funeral towers of Ninamarca before reaching Ajanaco, situated at an altitude of 3,600 meters. From here, we will begin our descent into the mystical cloud forest, teeming with vibrant orchids, heliconias, and primitive ferns. We will make a stop, and with some luck, witness the Andean cock-of-the-rock performing its unique mating ritual. There will also be opportunities to spot other exotic birds such as the parguan bird, trogons, quetzals, and oropendolas. The spectacled bear also inhabits this region. As dusk approaches, we will arrive at the village of Pilcopata, where we will spend the night at our Lodge, equipped with bathrooms and showers.
DAY 2: PILCOPATA - ATALAYA - LAGOON MACHUWASI- LODGE
After breakfast, we will embark on a jungle exploration walk, visiting a coca plantation and encountering various birds, plants, and monkeys, providing us with a firsthand experience of the vibrant wildlife. Our journey will then take us to the port of Atalaya, where we will board a boat and navigate the upper Madre de Dios River. Along the way, we will stop to walk along a trail and enjoy a refreshing dip in the area’s hot springs before continuing to our lodge.
After lunch, we will further explore the jungle and raft on the Machuhuasi lagoon, an area teeming with life. Here, we may observe species such as hoatzins, monkeys, reptiles, dwarf caimans, capybaras, and tapirs. With some luck, we might see many of these fascinating creatures. In the evening, we will embark on an intriguing night walk to cap off the day. We will spend the night in our lodge, equipped with private bathrooms and showers.
DAY 3: PARROTS CLAY LICK - LAKE MARAVILLA (OPTIONAL 3 DAYS)
Early in the morning, we will embark on a 25-minute boat ride to the parrots’ clay lick, a mineral-rich clay wall where we can observe various species of parrots. After this fascinating visit, we will return for breakfast. The rest of the morning will be dedicated to exploring the forest on foot, culminating in a visit to the private Wonder Lagoon. From a platform, we will have the opportunity to see a diverse array of birds, monkeys, and dwarf caimans. We will then return to our lodge for lunch and some relaxation.
In the afternoon and evening, we will venture along forest trails to spot a wide range of wildlife, including insects, frogs, and spiders. We will spend the night at Lodge.
DAY 4: LODGE - ATALAYA - CUSCO
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we will board a boat to return from the lodge to Atalaya, where our bus will be waiting to take us back to Cusco.
