The best and easiest way to visit the Amazon in Peru
26 July 2024 (396 visits)Because the Amazon rainforest is so huge, and because time can seem so short during a typical Peru vacation, when you want to see Machu Picchu and Cusco, and maybe even walk the Inca Trail, or take a boat trip on Lake Titicaca, the best way to visit the jungle in Peru is to take a flight from Lima or Cusco to the town of Puerto Maldonado.
In the jungle town of Puerto Maldonado, our Tambopata Ecolodge team meets all our guests at the airport, and then we take care of every detail of their rainforest trip, as part of the complete service we offer. Our services include airport transfers, vehicle and boat transport, comfortable jungle lodge accommodation and good food, and daily jungle trips from our eco-lodge base with an experienced, bilingual local guide.
Tambopata National Reserve, where we guide our guests on jungle trails, rivers and lakes, is well-known in Peru as the most accessible area of biodiverse protected Amazon rainforest in the country. We are the best rainforest destination in Peru for international travelers because our location makes it easy for them to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu, and to include a jungle trip, as part of a short Peru visit.
From Lima, there are regular scheduled flights to Puerto Maldonado, taking around 1 hour and 40 minutes. There are also direct flights from Cusco, and these take just under 1 hour. From Puerto Maldonado, we take our guests deep into the rainforest by boat. Our eco-lodge is perfectly located, in protected primary rainforest, far beyond the secondary disturbed forest that surrounds the town of Puerto Maldonado. This means that our guests are ensured a truly authentic Amazon rainforest experience, in unspoiled jungle where both animal and plant life are abundant.
