DAY 1: PUERTO MALDONADO – TAMBOPATA RIVER – INOTAWA LODGE TO AMAZONIA BIRD TRIP.
We pick you up from the airport/coach terminal of Puerto Maldonado to take you first to our office where you can leave your things unnecessary for the bird trip. There, you have also the last opportunity to buy some necessities such
as batteries, waterproofs, etc. Then, you get on our private vehicle to take you for an hour ride following a dirt road watching changeable nature along the way such as diverse forest types, traditional farms cultivating bananas and citruses, cattle farms, streams, etc.
Then, we get to the Native Community of Infierno where the port of Puerto Nuevo is situated. We board our motorboat there to navigate for about 2 hours the Tambopata River with a direction to the Inotawa Lodge.
During the ride, we are provided lunch consisting of vegetable rice wrapped in a bijao leaf (a leaf traditionally used in regional cuisine) along with fruits, biscuits and bottled water while we can admire flora along the river banks, for example, cañabravales, cecropias, ficus, as well as fauna such as birds.
We may see weaving birds with their nests high up in the trees.
herons, macaws, parrots or toucans. If we are lucky, we might spot mammals such as capybaras and tapirs or white caimans and turtles resting on the banks.
Once in the Inotawa Lodge, which is located on the banks of the Tambopata River, in the beginning of the Tambopata National Reserve, we accommodate ourselves while our Tour Guide indicates us about the best ways on how to enjoy our stay.
In the afternoon, our Tour Guide takes us on a walk to explore fauna and flora near the lodge. So we can watch some birds, for instance, trogons, quails, guans (wild turkeys – Penelopinae) as well as trees and vines such as
Shihuahuacos, Almendrillos, Ceibas. Then we are served dinner in the lodge.
Optional: A night walk in a company of our Tour Guide who shows us some nocturnal animals, for example, nocturnal monkeys, frogs, spiders or insect.
DAY 2:
INOTAWA LODGE – MACAW´S CLAY-LICK OF LA TORRE TO BIRD TRIP.
We wake up at 5 am to sail by boat to a nearby clay-lick called Collpa La Torre (collpa means clay-lick). Upon arrival, we find a good viewpoint (about 30 metres far away from the clay-lick)
providing us a perfect spot to observe macaws, parrots, parakeets and maybe deer, capybaras, squirrels as well.
The Collpa La Torre is similar to other clay-licks along the Tambopata River and it consists of a 4 metre high and 20 metre long embankment.
Its clay contains minerals necessary for digestions of the above mentioned animals. This entire spectacle lasts until
9 am (approximately). Afterwards, we observe neighbouring nature where we can spot tapirs, lowland pacas (Cuniculus paca), peccaries and other mammals.
For lunch we return to the lodge to later head for fishing in the Tambopata River. Dinner is served in the lodge.
Optional: A night caiman observation in the river.

INOTAWA LODGE – TRES CHIMBADAS LAKE WILDLIFE BIRD TRIP.
We board a rowing boat after breakfast sailing downstream for 15 minutes to later continue hiking for 40 minutes until we reach the typical oxbow lake of Amazon – Tres Chimbas Lake.
Upon arrival, the Tour Guide shows us the best way on how to appreciate the lake and its typical inhabitants – a family of giant river otters, an endangered species.
Except of them, we can also admire a variety of birds, for example, hoatzin, anhinga (or darter), herons,
kingfishers as well as some reptiles and mammals.

community of Infierno. In this special bamboo biosphere, we can see its typical inhabitants such as the rare
Peruvian Recurvebill (Syndactyla ucayalae)
or White-lined Antbird (Percnostola lophotes), which are both threatened due to their natural habitat loss, the
Manu Antbird, Bamboo Antshrike, the Rufous-headed Woodpecker,
the White-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher (Poecilotriccus albifacies), which is an endemic specie to humid bamboo
thickets, the Flammulated Bamboo Tyrant (Hemitriccus flammulatus), or migratory birds – the Eastern Wood Pewee and the Yellow- green Vireo.
We get back to the lodge at dusk accompanied by our Tour Guide. So we have an opportunity to enjoy some night
jungle noises, a storm as well as to see some of the northern constellations such as the Scorpion or the Southern Cross.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs):
Breve descripción del lago Tambopata –
Tres Chimbadas: ¡La Reserva Nacional Tambopata está ubicada en la cuenca del río Tambopata que cubre el sur de la región del río Madre de Dios (40% de la reserva) y la región de Puno (60% de la reserva)! Fue establecido en 1990 con el fin de proteger los bosques adyacentes alrededor de los ríos Heath y Tambopata. Allí se pueden encontrar dos importantes ecosistemas y 8 microclimas. ¡Su rica biodiversidad incluye 103 especies de mamíferos, 1300 especies de mariposas, 90 especies de anfibios y 41 familias de árboles que contienen 165 especies de árboles! La reserva cubre un área de 274.690 hectáreas. El clima es cálido y húmedo con altas precipitaciones anuales. En este interesante recorrido, descubrimos la pequeña collpa de guacamayos de La Torre, el increíble lago de Tres Chimbadas y un bosque de bambú. Los lagos Oxbow son originalmente meandros anchos de un río que se cortaron de la corriente principal cuando el río encontró un curso más corto. De esta forma, los meandros se convierten en brazos muertos del río. Los brazos muertos se denominan “lagunas de bueyes” debido a su característica forma arqueada que recuerda a una yunta de bueyes. Los lagos a menudo se crean en llanuras bajas, cerca de donde el río desemboca en otro curso de agua
