A vehicle will take us across the high land down to high tropical rain forest and to the end of the road, where we put-in. We´ll board rafts and use the river as a highway into the jungle. From this point we leave behind the last sights of pioneers, farmers, and gold pan settlers to enter the magic and mysterious world of the tropical rainforest. This provides the habitat for a diverse species of plant and animals, including 8 species of macaws, 13 species of monkeys, 530 species of birds, ocelot, jaguar, capybara, tapir, caiman, giant river otters, and many more. We´ll be floating for 6 days, running Class III and IV rapids. Later, we´ll arrive at the world-renowned Macaw Lick (see National Geographic; January 1994 ) where we will spend the night, allowing us to see these magnificent birds at dawn. Then we´ll take a motorized dug-out canoe to the frontier town of Puerto Maldonado where we spend the night and end our journey. We invite you to review the full itinerary and find out the many incredible things you can discover along the way.

Early reception at Juliaca, we board the private vehicle that will be taking us across the highland and through a 15,000´ pass and down to the jungle, until we arrive at our put-in on the edge of the Amazon basin. (B+L+D).
As we leave the last traces of civilization, we enter pristine rain forest using the river as a highway, we´ll float down camping on sandy beaches along the way where we will have a chance to encounter wild life. (B+L+D).
The river remains relatively calm and we will navigate class II and III rapids. We will begin to see a variety of different kinds of birds, a few mammals such as anteaters and giant otters (a species that is in danger of extinction). In the afternoon we will arrive at our campsite to relax and enjoy a delicious dinner. (B+L+D)
