The Amazon in Peru is a magical world where nature and animals take center stage. We stay at a lodge and are enchanted by all the smells and sounds of the rainforest. As you travel along the river you can see caimans, monkeys, otters and capybaras along the riverbank. Hike through lush rainforest and get the chance to see everything from colorful parrots and giant sloths to rare pink dolphins. Try your luck at piranha fishing. Visit the community of Nape where you learn about natural medicine. In the evening you can take a walk by flashlight and explore which animals move at night in the forest. Relaxation, wildlife, nature and culture – yes, the Amazon has something for everyone.

Visiting the Amazon in Peru is like stepping straight into a living miracle of nature – a journey for those seeking adventure, tranquility and contact with the innermost essence of nature.

The Peruvian part of the Amazon is one of the most biologically diverse places in the world.

We’ll take you there!

Reseprogram:

Lima/Cusco - Puerto Maldonado (L, M)

Flight from Lima/Cusco and arrival at Puerto Maldonado airport. Here we are met by our guide who takes us to the main office where we can leave luggage that is not needed during our stay in the Amazon rainforest. We then drive 20 minutes to Tambopata “port” where a riverboat takes us on an exciting journey along the river for about 1 hour. We dock at the riverbank and walk 15 minutes into the jungle greenery to our lodge Posada Amazonas. Here we are informed about the area and check into our room. Our first excursion is a 20-minute walk that takes us through the jungle to a 35-meter high observation tower. The wildlife up in the treetops is very lively and colorful toucans and parrots can be seen flitting by. The view is magnificent, dense rainforest as far as the eye can see and the winding Tambopata River far below. Return to the lodge for dinner.

Puerto Maldonado (F, L, M)

After a good night’s sleep and an early breakfast, it’s time to explore the area. We travel on the river again for about 30 minutes and then walk 45 minutes to Lake Tres Chimbadas. Here we paddle around in a homemade catamaran consisting of two kayaks and wooden pontoons. The wildlife we expect to see here includes the endangered giant otters, caimans and a rich birdlife. You can also try your luck at piranha fishing. After another 20 minutes of travel along the river, we arrive at the local community Centro Nape. Centro Nape is an organization that, among other things, produces natural medicine from rainforest plants, which they then offer to the small infirmary that is also located in the area. We get a guided tour along a path in the jungle while we are informed about the different plants and their function. Return to the lodge for dinner. The darkness in the rainforest attracts other animal species than those we see during the day. Equipped with flashlights, we walk along a marked path on an interesting journey of discovery. The rainforest is experienced differently in the dark and the bizarre sounds of the frogs further enhance the atmosphere.

Puerto Maldonado (F, L, M)

Only a 20-minute walk from the lodge is a lookout point where we will be looking for parrots today. The mud wall in front of us contains several useful minerals that the parrots want to eat, which means a veritable feast and in many cases an enormous number of birds to see. Return to the lodge for lunch. After lunch we set off on a two-hour hike where we will, among other things, see the largest tree in the entire region – a gigantic ancient Ceiba tree. During the hike we will focus on the unique flora of the rainforest where most plant species will be observed more closely. A thirty-minute boat trip downstream from the river will then take us to one of the most developed farms in the area, whose owners grow many different crops, both typical and atypical for the Amazon. Return to the lodge for dinner. After dinner we take an evening trip along the river to look for caimans. With our flashlights we shine into the vegetation along the shoreline and are fascinated by the red, glowing eyes in the night.

Vanliga frågor (FAQ) – Allt inför din resa till Latinamerika

1. Behöver jag visum eller vaccinationer för att resa till Sydamerika?

För svenska medborgare krävs oftast inget visum för turistresor upp till 90 dagar i många sydamerikanska länder. Vi rekommenderar att du kontrollerar aktuella regler innan avresa. Vaccinationer är normalt inte obligatoriska, men vissa länder rekommenderar exempelvis vaccin mot gula febern beroende på resmål och säsong.

2. Vilken är den bästa tiden på året att besöka Sydamerika?

Sydamerika kan besökas året runt, men bästa tiden varierar beroende på destination och klimat. Generellt är den svenska vintern populär för resor till Sydamerika eftersom det då är sommar på många platser. För exempelvis Patagonien passar perioden november–mars bäst, medan Peru och Anderna ofta är mest behagliga under den torrare perioden maj–september.

3. Vilken valuta används och fungerar kortbetalning?

Valutan varierar mellan länderna i Sydamerika. Kortbetalning fungerar på de flesta hotell, restauranger och större butiker, men det är bra att alltid ha lite kontanter för mindre inköp, marknader och mindre orter. Visa och Mastercard accepteras oftast.

4. Hur mycket fickpengar bör jag ha med mig?

Det beror på resans upplägg och dina vanor. För måltider, dryck, shopping och eventuella aktiviteter rekommenderar vi att du räknar med cirka 300–700 SEK per dag utöver det som ingår i resan.
