1ST DAY: ISLA DE LOS MONOS
Arriving to the city of Puerto Maldonado we shall go to the port to
board the boat that will lead us, into an unforgettable crossing,
through the river Madre de Dios. Along the route we will observe
alligators, turtles, herons, and other species of the area. When
arriving to Ecoamazonia Lodge we will enjoy an exquisite typical drink
of welcoming, then installing ourselves in bungalows in order to take
lunch thereafter.
Later on, with our specialized guide, we will visit
the Isla de los Monos (Isle of Monkeys), only five minutes away from the
Lodge, in the middle of the river Madre de Dios. That island shelters
different species of monkeys: since the noisy maquisapas, the joyful
achuñis and the impressive frailes (monks) till the tiny and happy
leoncitos (small lions). Along the route to the island we will see the
beautiful sightseeing of exuberant flora and fauna, as well as a
wonderful and solemn sunset - a very impressive characteristic of the
jungle.
