Operated by VIPAC Travel · Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios
You step off a motor canoe as the Madre de Dios slips away behind you; the humid air presses close and the forest answers with the sharp calls of macaws and the distant roll of howler monkeys. A narrow boardwalk leads into the Inkaterra Amazon Field Station, where wooden pavilions and raised trails thread between buttressed trees and the canopy stretches out like a living roof.
moderate.
3 days (≈72 hours).
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition; expect flat but uneven trails, short climbs on boardwalks, and canoe transfers requiring balance.
Most transfers involve a roughly 50-minute motorized canoe ride along the Madre de Dios River; pickup times coordinate with your lodge arrival so confirm flight times in advance.
Vaccination and prophylaxis depend on personal health and itinerary—consult a travel clinic for current recommendations; carry your vaccination card if required.
The walkway has secure platforms and guided access, but it sits about 42 m above ground; children and anyone with serious vertigo should consult guides and may prefer lower trails.
The trip includes lodge accommodation, meals listed in the itinerary (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and guided activities; confirm specifics and any dietary needs when booking.
Tambopata’s floodplain landscapes formed as rivers shifted courses over millennia; local river communities have managed resources here for generations and now partner in conservation and eco-tourism.
Inkaterra and regional reserves focus on low-impact tourism and long-term biodiversity monitoring—visitors should avoid single-use plastics, stick to trails, and follow guide instructions to minimize disturbance.
