Peru Rainforest Extension

Highlights

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Tambopata National Reserve, a vast, untouched expanse of Amazonian wilderness covering 2.5 million acres.

Our Rainforest Extension is four days / three nights and allows for two full days of immersive jungle walks and scenic river excursions. A short flight to Puerto Maldonado followed by a motorized canoe ride will transport you deep into the heart of the Amazon.

In Tambopata, we’ve carefully selected two exceptional lodges, each offering prime access to breath-taking wildlife viewing opportunities. From the vibrant macaw clay lick to playful otters, curious monkeys, and a dazzling array of colourful birds, every moment in this ecosystem is a chance to witness nature at its finest. This pristine habitat is also home to the Amazon’s five top predators: the elusive jaguar, the playful giant otter, the stealthy black caiman, the majestic harpy eagle, and the formidable anaconda.

We offer a choice of a standard or luxury lodge package. Please contact us to check availability and to get a quote. The itinerary shown is an example and will differ depending on which lodge you stay at. All lodge bookings are subject to availability.

The extension starts and ends in Puerto Maldonado, with most flights connecting from Cusco. Flights are also available from Lima. We’re happy to assist with internal flights and additional accommodations in Cusco or Lima to enhance your journey.

Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Amazon—adventure awaits!

Upon arrival at Puerto Maldonado airport*, you will be met by your guide and transferred to the boat dock on the Tambopata River (approx 45 min transfer). Here you will continue your journey by boat along the Madre de Dios (Winding River) to reach your jungle lodge. On route you will likely spot a variety of wildlife including Caiman, River Turtles and a wide variety of bird life. Depending on your arrival time at the lodge your guide will take you on a guided walk of the area surrounding the lodge before dinner.

Please note that you will need to arrive at the airport no later than 3pm to allow enough time to transfer to your lodge.

Over the next two days, immerse yourself in the extraordinary biodiversity of the Tambopata Reserve. Accompanied by expert local guides, you'll explore the surrounding rainforest, rivers, and oxbow lakes on foot and by both motorized and paddle canoe.

While much of the Amazon's wildlife remains hidden in the thick jungle, patient observation often reveals a remarkable array of species. Keep your eyes open for colourful macaws, herons, egrets, jacanas, and the distinctive, prehistoric-looking hoatzin. The forests are also home to several monkey species, a variety of reptiles and insects, and—if luck is on our side—the elusive and endangered Giant River Otter, which inhabits the waterways of the Amazon Basin.

Each journey into the forest reveals something new, whether it’s the eerie call of a distant howler monkey, the sudden flash of iridescent wings, or the silent glide of a canoe beneath the canopy. It’s a true immersion into one of the most vibrant and vital ecosystems on Earth.

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets.  Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders.

A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

For other nationalities, please refer to your own Government website for the latest information.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents including vaccinations and health certificates (see Health & Vaccinations below), and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check the FCDO for the latest advice for each country visited before travel.

Severe Allergies

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

It is an essential condition of joining a holiday with KE Adventure Travel that you have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of medical treatment and to protect the value of your holiday in the event of cancellation.  When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary.

For appropriate insurance cover we recommend Campbell Irvine Direct.  Please go to our Travel Insurance page for further information and to get a quote.
