Join us on this journey to uncover the best of Peruvian avifauna.
Day 1: Lima to Puerto Maldonado -Tambopata Bird Trip
On the first day of your bird trip, you’ll arrive at Puerto Maldonado and travel by boat to the Infierno Native Community in the Tambopata National Reserve. As you make your way through the jungle, you’ll already be on the lookout for various bird species.
During this early exploration, you may spot the elusive Great Potoo or the Purus Jacamar. The boat ride is a perfect opportunity for bird photography, with several birding enthusiasts likely to find joy in capturing the dynamic scenes of macaws and parrots soaring above the riverbanks.
Upon reaching your lodge, take a short rest, then head out on a guided tour through the forest to spot nocturnal birds. If you’re lucky, you might see the Tawny-Bellied Screech-Owl or the Great Horned Owl, two stunning species native to the region.
Day 2: Exploring Lake Cocococha and Bird Trip Watching Trails
Wake up early to make your way to Lake Cocococha, a prime birding spot in the Amazon. This 5.5 km hike offers spectacular opportunities for bird watching at sunrise, where you can spot Horned Screamers, Hoatzins, and a variety of kingfishers and jacanas. The area is known for its high concentration of non-native species like the Agami Heron and Point-Tailed Palmcreeper.
A rowboat ride on the lake provides a close-up view of the surrounding ecosystem, and with some luck, you may encounter endangered species like the Giant River Otter. In the late afternoon, return to the lodge and enjoy some downtime before your next adventure.
In the evening, you’ll embark on a nocturnal birding tour to spot caimans and look out for other nocturnal birds such as the Ladder-Tailed Nightjar and the Common Potoo.
Day 3: Canopy Birdwatching and Ground-Level Exploration
The third day begins with a visit to a birding tower that offers panoramic views of the forest canopy. From this vantage point, you’ll be able to observe birds that thrive high up in the trees, including the Amazonian Pygmy-Owl, Purple-Throated Fruit Crow, and the colorful Paradise Tanager.
For a truly awe-inspiring experience, keep an eye out for the majestic Harpy Eagle, one of the most endangered species of raptor. Bird watching enthusiasts will be in their element as they catch sight of macaws, parrots, and toucans in the treetops.
In the afternoon, you’ll head out on the Lake Chica trail, passing through a variety of habitats where you may encounter species like the Blue-Throated Piping Guan, Black-Spotted Bare-Eye, and the Fiery-Capped Manakin. These walks through the natural habitat of the Tambopata Reserve will deepen your understanding of avian behavior and provide ample opportunities for bird photography.
Day 4: Departure and Reflection on the Amazon Adventure
On your final day, enjoy a hearty breakfast before taking a speed boat back to the Infierno Native Community. This is the perfect time to reflect on your journey and the incredible bird species you’ve seen. From the towering macaws to the elusive Hoatzins, your time in the Tambopata National Reserve will surely remain etched in your memory.
While waiting for your transport back to Puerto Maldonado, don’t miss out on spotting a few final wildlife sightings. The forest is alive with birds and animals, and your birding guide will help you identify the various species that call this beautiful ecosystem home.

Brief description of Tambopata Lake – Tres Chimbadas:
The Tambopata National Reserve is located in the Tambopata River basin, covering the southern region of the Madre de Dios River (40% of the reserve) and the Puno region (60% of the reserve)! Established in 1990, its purpose is to protect the forests surrounding the Heath and Tambopata rivers. Two significant ecosystems and eight microclimates can be found here. The rich biodiversity includes 103 mammal species, 1300 butterfly species, 90 amphibian species, and 41 tree families containing 165 tree species! The reserve spans an area of 274,690 hectares, with a warm and humid climate characterized by high annual precipitation.
On this fascinating journey, we explore the small macaw clay lick of La Torre, the incredible Tres Chimbadas lake, and a bamboo forest. Oxbow lakes are originally wide meanders of a river that got cut off from the main stream when the river found a shorter course. In this way, the meanders become dead arms of the river. These dead arms are called “oxbow lakes” due to their characteristic arched shape reminiscent of a yoke of oxen. The lakes are often formed in low plains, near where the river flows into another watercourse
