Travel to Puerto Maldonado to experience the pristine Peru jungle. Located in the heart of the Madre de Dios region, with lush forests cut through by winding rivers, Puerto Maldonado boasts an unrivalled diversity in the number and concentration of wildlife species. A growing infrastructure for eco-tourism makes this area an ideal base to explore the amazing natural wonders of the Amazon.
Jointly owned by Rainforest Expeditions and local native communities, the charming Refugio Amazonas jungle lodge is the latest addition to the association’s eco-minded lodges. Opened in 2005, this 32-bedroom lodge is beautifully located in the Tambopata National Reserve, about 3 hours away from Puerto Maldonado by boat. As it is situated further down the river than many other lodges, opportunities to spot wildlife are greater. You are truly in the heart of the Amazon.

Day 1 : Arrival to Puerto Maldonado & Transfer to Refugio Amazonas
- Upon arrival to Puerto Maldonado, a Peru For Less representative will take you to the Rainforest Expeditions office where you will have the chance to re-pack your bags (if you haven’t already) for your Amazon tour. River boats have weight luggage restrictions; take only the items necessary for the length of your stay.
- You will then drive 20 minutes to the Tambopata River Port, entering the native community of Infierno, where you will board a boat for the 2.5-hour journey to Refugio Amazonas. You will enjoy a box lunch before the trip.
- Upon arrival to the lodge, you will receive a brief orientation on security measures and then have some time to rest and settle into your room before dinner. At night, you will head to the river’s edge with headlights and flashlights to scan the shores and maybe spot the gleaming eyes of caimans (relatives of the alligator).
Day 2 : Oxbow Lake, Canopy Tower & Ethno-botanical Tour
- After breakfast, you will head out on your first Amazon excursion with a boat ride to a nearby oxbow lake. You will paddle around the lake aboard a canoe or catamaran to search for lake wildlife, which includes hoatzin, caimans, and horned screamers. If you’re really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of family of giant river otter that resides here.
- You will then take a 30-minute walk to the lodge’s 82-foot (25-meter) high canopy tower. Ascend the steep staircase to the top to enjoy magnificent views above the trees. You’re also likely to spot an abundance of birds, including macaws and parrots.
- You’ll return to the lodge for lunch and have some time to rest. In the afternoon, you will take a tour of a local farm owned by the community of Condenado. A variety of Amazon crops are grown here and their uses will be explained by your guide.
- After the farm visit, you will follow the lodge’s ethno-botanical trail with your expert guide who will teach you about the various medicinal uses of the rainforest’s plants.
- Return to the lodge for dinner and a relaxing evening set to the sounds of the jungle. The lodge’s expert staff offers lectures about the fascinating Amazon habitat every evening.
Day 3 : Departure from Puerto Maldonado
- After breakfast, depart on the 2.5-hour boat ride back to Puerto Maldonado, where you will be able to pick up your belongings at the lodge’s headquarters. You’ll be taken to the airport for your journey home or on to your next destination.

Refugio Amazonas 3*
One in a collection of Rainforest Expeditions lodges, Refugio Amazonas is constructed on a 400 acre (200 hectare) private reserve adjacent to the Tambopata National Reserve. This excellent lodge offers the opportunity to fully experience and enjoy the Amazon environment and wildlife. Built using wood, wild canes, and palm fronds, each room consists of a three-wall enclosure, which both ensures privacy and allows bouts of cooling tropical air to waft in. The fourth wall remains completely open to the lush forest which allows travelers to enjoy the natural beauty of the Peru jungle from up close. Refugio Amazonas blends into the natural surroundings while still offering elements of comfort, a winning combination for a tropical Peru vacation.
