Itinerary

Day 1: Day 1 : Arrival To The Lodge And Caiman Cocha (Ecoamazonia)

Stop At: Tambopata Reserve Tours, Puerto Maldonado Peru
Day 1 : Arrival To The Lodge And Caiman Cocha (Ecoamazonia)

Overnight in Amazon (Altitude: 500 m. - 1640 ft)

Upon your arrival in Puerto Maldonado, Peru’s capital of biodiversity, we will welcome you at the airport.Then, we’ll start our program by visiting the city on a bus. Then, we will go to Puerto Capitanía, the port where our riverboat will be waiting for us. We will sail across Rio Bajo Madre de Dios (Winding River) until arriving at our lodge, 30 km away from Puerto Maldonado City. On our way, you will be able to observe rural lands destined to agricultural and livestock activities near the city. If the weather is good, you will sight colorful plants like the large-flowered heliconias, and you will have the chance to observe diverse animals such as the capybaras, caimans, water turtles, herons, cormorants, carrion birds and birds of prey. Upon the arrival at our lodge, you will be welcomed with delicious Amazon tropical fruit nectars and taken to your comfortable room (bungalow) reserved for the occasion. Once you are settled in the room, a hearty lunch will be served for you in our warm, rustically designed dining room. In the afternoon, our specialized guide will take you through an interpretive trail, conveniently signposted, to Caiman Cocha, a little lagoon where you will have the chance to observe the black caiman and the common caiman, as well as efficient predators located at the top of the food chain. They feed on a rich water fauna—mainly represented by fish— that inhabits the pond. At dusk, you will witness the spectacular sunset over the Amazon region, an experience full of color in overwhelming ranges and intensities. Back in the lodge, a delicious dinner will await you and you will have free time to share unforgettable moments at the bar, equipped with an excellent game room and all the drinks you can imagine. The night fauna will lull you to sleep with the melody of a huge number of bird songs and calls.

Day 2: Lost Cocha (Ecoamazonia - Ecologico)

Stop At: Tambopata Reserve Tours, Puerto Maldonado Peru
The magic begins with birds singing from the Amazon paradise, waking up to the howler monkey calls. A hearty breakfast will provide you with the necessary energy for a morning full of new experiences. LOST COCHA

After breakfast, we will start an adventure in the virgin forest, accompanied by a local guide, we’ll go on a hike in the deep forest: we will cover very well preserved prepared trails of our interpretive tour. On our way, we will cross temporary watercourses called tributaries through very well-kept bridges, and we’ll witness the widest range of flora and fauna in the wild. We’ll identify a great variety of ornamental plants with unparalleled beauty.

En route to the Lost Cocha, we will see diverse species of medicinal plants and fruit trees that support the animal populations in the Amazon forest.

With luck, you’ll get to see bigger mammals, like the jaguar or Peruvian jaguar, the Brazilian tapir and the white-lipped peccary; rodents like the giant otter, the capybara, the spotted paca and the armadillo; primates like the coto or howler monkey and the squirrel monkey; reptiles like the iguana and the Bothrops atrox; amphibians like the toad, and birds like the guan, the partridge, the golden parakeet and the scarlet macaw.

The rivers leave behind wetland systems, lakes, ponds, and bends, like the spectacular Lost Cocha.

Wetlands play an ecological role of great importance since they represent a substantial biological source with endemic species. They are the shelter of mammals. These swamps comprise 60% of the area protected and restored by Eco Amazonia Lodge.

The presence of moriche palm is very important for Amazonian ethnic groups. It is a mystery plant considered the mother of the forest or the tree of life.

The swamp is home of jealous guardians like the jaguar, feline considered son of the swamp; the anaconda, the world's biggest snake; the owl that sees everything from its dwelling at the top of the trees, to cure all ills, and the black caiman, guardian that punishes those that dare to steal the female moriche palm fruit. Once in Lost Cocha, we will go up to an enormous observation platform. From this lookout, you will see the enormous surface that this magic place covers and where you can see two types of swamps: thick and mixed.

Then, we will take a pleasant walk around the Lost Cocha and with luck, you’ll get to see the "giant otter” or Pteronurabrasiliensis, the biggest in its type and one of the most impressive animals of the Amazon region.

Back in the lodge, you can enjoy an exquisite lunch.

In the afternoon, you have free time to take pictures around the lodge, and you will have the possibility to visit the botanical garden and observe our medicinal plants and fruit trees. MONKEY ISLANDIn the afternoon, joined with our specialized guide, we will visit the Monkey Island, few minutes away from the lodge in the center of Madre de Dios River. This island shows an enormous variety of exuberant flora and hosts numerous primate specimens like the black spider monkey, the black-cap capuchin monkey, the squirrel monkey and the lion monkey. Also other species of little mammals like the ring-tailed coati (nasua nasua), the squirrel and an enormous variety of colored birds.Finally, we will complete our visit to the island, enjoying a sunset with the most impressive dusk in the jungle.Back in the lodge, you will taste an exquisite dinner.

Our guide, Franklin, was a treasure trove of knowledge insofar as how natives used and understood the nutritional and medicinal nature of plants and animals that throng through the jungle, lake and river that you will visit on this trip. His eyes, furthermore, were incredible, spotting things that took most of us some time to see even after he pointed them out, through our binoculars. For this alone, he gets 5 stars. Your 'close encounters' will likely be far from that, but with eagle-eyed guides your binoculars can make out forms and occasionally features within the elusive jungle. That said, the lodge does not look like the pictures. It's not bad at all just very basic, with electricity and hot water at certain hours of the day, and everyone following an identical schedule. The bungalows are paper-thin, which is fine, as most are free-standing, but if you're caught in the 4-room 2-story house units C-1 through C-4, be prepared to hear every word and non-word, iPhone buzz, footstep and sound as though your neighbors are sitting in your lap. Worse, the French-run, French-saturated hostel it's very much a hostel don't expect anything more has zero 'Western' customer service or attentiveness to speak of, whether food no choice no timetable no discussion or drink be prepared to wait up to 40 minutes to be served at the one time everyone is dumped into the bar, simultaneously, awaiting dinner. For this, the Lodge itself gets 1.5 stars.

Mostly good, however a BIG issue that wasted hours of our time. I added a traveler to our booking at least a month before our arrival. I was assured all would be fine...but his name was not on our pick up list from our accommodations in Puerto Maldonado. Luckily our hostel host went with us to the travel headquarters to make sure everything was clear. We had been switched from Corto Maltés Lodge to Inkaterra Lodge Field Station which was beautiful and very peaceful! So this review is not for Corto Maltés, just Viator as a booking service. The agent had emailed me the itinerary but I assumed it was all part of the same lodge group. It wasn't.

This tour was well-organized and our guide, Manuel, was fantastic. The rooms were nice and we loved the hammocks on the porch area. It was a shame that we ended up getting so much rain, as we weren't able to enjoy them as much as we would have liked. For anyone who also encounters rain when you are there: get everything away from the windows! We learned the hard way that the screened-in windows, coupled with the curtains, do very little to prevent water from entering your room and soaking the floor. Luckily, our hard-sided luggage prevented everything from being soaked, but it was a close call. The only down-sides of our trip were the market walk at the end it was very strange, and something that most people spending some time in Peru will experience anyways and the fact that the WiFi was out the whole time we were there it had been out for quite some time as a result of a storm that passed through. It's nice to disconnect, but we were leaving to fly back home to Canada directly after our tour, and were unable to check-in to our flights and keep in touch with people picking us up from the airport! Overall, this was a great tour and we highly recommend it!

All the logistics were handled very well. The lodge was very nice albeit simple. Ceiling fans would have been nice...it was pretty hot and humid. Our guide Manual was fantastic, very knowledgeable and easy going. The food was very good, and appreciated the pool and bar after an early morning hike in to the jungle!
