DAY 1

Introduction to the Amazon

Your adventure begins with a warm reception at the airport by your Inkanto Travel tour guide. We recommend repacking into a smaller bag for ease. A scenic 2-hour car or minivan journey takes us to the Tambopata River banks.

Here, we board a boat, venturing upstream on both the Tambopata and Malinowski Rivers for around 60 minutes. This route offers stunning landscapes and a chance to spot riverside fauna.

Upon arrival at Casa Malinowski Jungle Lodge, a natural fruit drink awaits you. We’ll introduce you to your room, featuring a single bed, nightstand, and private bathroom. Also you’ll have an armchair made from liana, with a large window that opens to the forest. The lodge’s construction uses wasai palm and crisneja leaf, creating a cool and serene atmosphere.

Then, we will have lunch in our temporary home.

In the afternoon, we embark on an interpretive walk among the Amazon’s giant trees, learning about their importance and observing the diverse wildlife. As dusk falls, a boat trip on the Malinowski River gives us a chance to spot white alligators by flashlight. The day ends with dinner and a restful night at the lodge.
