We’ll pick you up from your hotel early in the morning in a private van, and travel through the Andes Mountains. Breakfast is in the charming town of Paucartambo. You can enjoy a hot drink, eggs, pancakes, juice, and more. 

The trip will continue into the Cloud Forest, where the scenery and climate change quickly. In the Cloud Forest, there will be chances to explore and look for wild animals like monkeys and birds, including the bright-red Andean Cock of the Rock.
In the late afternoon, we’ll arrive at our first lodge for dinner and some time to relax.

After dinner, we have the option to go on a night walk to look for creepy crawlies before falling asleep to the music of the jungle. 

We will start the day very early to maximize the beautiful adventures of our day.  Our boat will be waiting in the port town of Atalaya.  We will leave early in order to visit the parrot clay lick and Machu Wasi Oxbow lake, to see various animals and enjoy the surrounding nature before heading downriver. The trip down the Madre de Dios River is a beautiful way to enjoy the jungle. Along the way, we’ll be on the lookout for animals on the riverbanks, such as water birds and capybara.

In the late morning, we’ll visit a local hot spring, and enjoy lunch on the boat afterward. After a couple more hours, we’ll arrive close to Nuevo Eden and walk from the riverbank to the lodge. 

After settling in, we’ll set off to the camouflage house overlooking a clay lick. It is a tall platform with a roof and railings for 1 night to enjoy being outdoors overnight, looking out for tapirs and other mammals visiting the clay lick for a midnight snack.  We will bring a “picnic dinner” and enjoy a 360-degree experience sleeping in the jungle. You will be provided with moquito nets and a mattress, you will need a sleeping bag* and a camping pillow.

We’ll head back to the Bungalow early in the morning for breakfast and prepare to explore the jungle. Your guide will lead you on a nature hike, spending a few hours searching for wildlife and learning about the rainforest.
Lunch will be waiting for you in the Bungalow after your hike, and you’ll have some time to relax and swim in the nearby creek. 
In the afternoon, you’ll walk to see the local birds at their most active time of day, just before sunset. Once the daylight is gone, your guide will scope out insects, frogs, and snakes and lead you on a night walk. We’ll enjoy a special jungle-themed dinner in the Bungalow.

We’ll leave the Bungalow early in the morning, where the boat will be waiting to retrace our steps upriver to Atalaya, then back to Cusco. We have plenty of tips for restaurants for a post-jungle feast.
