EcoAmazonia Lodge

The Cabanas and grounds of our EcoAmazonia Lodge.

Here is a closer view of some of the more colorful lodges at EcoAmazonia.

1st DAY - ECOAMAZONIA LODGE / MONKEY ISLAND

Arrival at the ecological city of Puerto Maldonado, reception and transfer. We begin our trip with a visit to the city, after which we head for the port and board our canoe fitted with an outboard motor to cruise down the Madre de Dios River. We'll arrive at EcoAmazonia Lodge, enjoy a local welcome drink and settle into our comfortable bungalows.

Our first visit will cross the river by canoe to Monkey Island, the first and only one of its kind in the heart of the Madre de Dios River; protected and conserved by EcoAmazonia Lodge. On this spectacular visit you'll have the chance to appreciate the diversity of flora but most of all observe various species of monkeys in their natural habitat - among them the little lion of the jungle as well as large maquisapa monkeys.

2nd DAY - ECOAMAZONIA LODGE / LOST LAGOON

After breakfast we embark on another adventure in the virgin jungle, following local trails or "trochas", leading to the Qocha Perida - the Lost Lagoon. This acts as a refuge and feeding ground for numerous animals such as black caimans, river turtles, giant otters as well as a variety of fish. Along the way we will come across huge trees of all shapes and sizes, medicinal plants, numerous insects and butterflies as well as a variety of birds.

On arrival at the lagoon, we'll be able to climb up on our extraordinary Amazon Lookout Platform, built on top of one of the tallest trees, the Shihuahuaco. You'll get an impressive panoramic view of the area, and experience this unique way of enjoying the nature that lives around the Qocha. We return to the lodge for a typical lunch.
During the summer you can enjoy the opportunity to go on a night trip on the river to spot black caymans along the river banks.

3rd Day - ECOAMAZONIA LODGE / GAMITANA RIVER

After breakfast we continue on our adventure by taking the canoes along the Madre de Dios River as far as the Gamitana River, deep in the heart of the jungle. This is a marvelous and impressive area for flora and fauna,and we'll explore it using smaller canoes to get close to animals such as turtles, caymans, butterflies and many other spectacular creatures. The brook is very lush and has remarkable surroundings along its winding course. Enjoy a lunch on the river and relax for a while before we return to the lodge for dinner.

4th Day - TRANSFER TO PUERTO MALDONADO

After breakfast, return to Puerto Maldonado, and continue on to where your Adventure Life journey may take you.
