07 DAYS/06 NIGHTS PROGRAM

DAY 01: .../ LIMA
Arriving in Lima, meeting assistance and transfer to the hotel
Overnight.

DAY 02: LIMA / PUERTO MALDONADO - SANDOVAL LAKE LOGDE

Breakfast at the hotel 

Transfer to the airport 

Departure by domestic flight to Puerto Maldonado

Transfer from Puerto Maldonado airport to the river port on the Madre de Dios River. A 25 minutes journey down the Madre de Dios River by motor canoe brings you to the end of the trail in to Sandoval Lake Lodge. From here the trail takes you on a 2-mile walk/or rickshaw ride through secondary forest, until we reach a small canal where we board canoes and are paddled 220 yards through a flooded forest of 100-foot tall Mauritia palms. As the canal opens onto the shimmering surface of the lake, we transfer to a catamaran and are leisurely paddled across half the lake to the lodge

After lunch and a brief rest to avoid the early afternoon heat, we once again board the catamaran and set off to explore the entire west end of the lake. Here, in the flooded palm forest we drift to the sounds of hundreds of Red-Bellied Macaws as they return to the palm forest for the night. We return to the lodge around nightfall for dinner.

After dinner we will return to the canoes to look for the large and extremely rare Black Caimans. If it is a clear starlit night, we will also be able to float in the middle of the lake and marvel at the brillance of the sky.

DAY 03: SANDOVAL LAKE LODGE

A pre-dawn wake-up call will enable us to be on the lake for sunrise and a hopeful encounter with the family of Giant Otters which frequent the lake and are most active at this time of day. Most of the fish-eating water birds around the lake actively fish in the early morning as well, and this outing should provide excellent views, and photographs, of the prehistoric- looking Hoatzins

After returning for a late breakfast we set off into the cool understory of the tall virgin forest near the lake to see some towering wild Brazil Nut trees and a demonstration of how our hosts collect, open and commercialize this important natural product.

After lunch and an hour or so to relax we once again board the catamaran to explore the eastern part of the lake, where we might see one or more of the five species of monkeys which live in the forest near the lake, such as the Brown Capuchin Monkey.

There is a final chance after dinner to try and spot some Black Caimans on the lake, or to go on a short night walk through the primary forest.

DAY 04: PUERTO MALDONADO / CUZCO

After a dawn breakfast we take a final, shorter paddle around the west end of the lake to try and glimpse the Giant Otters before returning to Puerto Maldonado to catch to Cuzco

Departure by domestic flight to Cuzco

Upon arrival, transfer to the hotel 

Rest of the morning free in order to acclimatize to the altitude 

In the afternoon, city tour: the Main Square, which is surrounded by a beautiful stone arched. Here is located the Cathedral, which is exceptional because of its contrasting styles. The convent of Santo Domingo was built above the most important Inca Temple, The temple of the Sun or “Koricancha” as it was known in the Inca language quechua. 
Afterwards visit to the nearby ruins: Sacsayhuaman, made of three gigantic terraces superimposed in a zigzag form and surrounded by enormous walls of rock, some of which are up to 300 metres in length; Kenko, was a religious centre formed by a calcareous rock. It has underground galleries and a semicircular amphitheatre with stone seats; Puca Pucara, or the “Red Fort” was a military base made of stone stairways, terraces and walls and Tambomachay, well known as “Baths of the Incas” a place dedicated to the cult of the water, formed by aqueducts channels and small cascades worked in rock.

Return to the hotel. 

Overnight.

DAY 05: CUZCO / MACHUPICCHU /CUZCO

Breakfast at the hotel 

In the morning transfer to the train station 

Departure by train to Aguas Calientes train station

Arrive and transfer to Machupicchu citadel by bus, it is also called “The lost City of the Incas”. It was planned and constructed in two distinct areas. One of them being the agricultural formed by the cultivation terraces or platforms and located in the precipitous hillside part of the mountain, and the urban area where MachuPicchu´s inhabitants lived. On the top part there is a line that separates the agricultural and urban areas. In the urban sector you can observe two very well defined civil engineering works. One is the residential neighbourhoods and the other the canal system. Both constructions did not reach the same perfection in their finishing of the buildings of the Sacred Valley (temples, mausoleums, squares, real houses). Here it is very common to see the use of the trapezoidal window and of niches where they deposited their idols as well as the prevalence of the rectangular constructions of a single floor.

After guided visit of the ruins, lunch in a local restaurant 

In the afternoon, departure by train to Cuzco, arrive and transfer to the hotel.
