Puerto Maldonado Amazon Tours

Puerto Maldonado is the gateway to Peru's southern Amazon and one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Located in the Madre de Dios department, this small jungle city provides access to the Tambopata National Reserve and Manu National Park — two of the world's premier rainforest destinations, home to giant river otters, jaguars, macaws, monkeys, caimans, and thousands of bird and plant species.

What to Expect

Amazon tours from Puerto Maldonado typically include stays at jungle eco-lodges accessible only by river, guided hikes through primary rainforest, canoe excursions along oxbow lakes, nighttime wildlife spotting, and visits to clay licks where hundreds of macaws and parrots gather each morning. The Tambopata region is particularly famous for its macaw clay licks, giant otter populations, and incredibly rich birdlife.
