Day
1: PUERTO MALDONADO Lodge (L)(D) Reception at the airport,
transfer to PS's office to prepare for the river trip and boarding of
our motorized dugout canoes. Depending of the hour we will have either a
box lunch on the boat or lunch at arrival to the (EI). During the trip
we may see caymans, turtles and waterfowl, etc. After approx. 3 hours we
will arrive at the (EI) lodge where we will be received with a welcome
drink. We are now deep inside pristine rainforest and surrounded by its
sounds. After a short rest we will have a short hike to a small lagoon
and return in time to enjoy a jungle sunset at Sunset Point. After
returning to the lodge we will board again the canoe for a short night
ride to spot caymans on the river banks with flashlights. After
returning we will have dinner, at which the Resident Naturalists (RNs)
and guides will be available to answer questions or brief us on the
Amazon rainforest.

After
an early breakfast, guided by one of our guides, we will start a 3½
miles hike to Cocococha oxbow lake. On the way we will observe exotic
plants and insects, colorful butterflies and birds, monkeys and, with
luck, perhaps even some of the large mammals. At the lake a hide and
canoes will be available for a ride around it watching the giant river
otters and the wildlife on the shoreline. Return to the EI for a late
lunch. Afternoon free for relaxing or independent activities. Dinner.
