BWP-Birdwatchers Program 6 nights minimum
Day 1. Reception at the airport, transfer to PS's office to prepare
for the river trip and boarding of our motorized dugout canoes. On occasions
if the weather permits it we will be driven in the bus for 30 minutes to
an native community to board the canoe, saving 2 hours of the boat ride.
Depending on the time we will have either a box lunch on the boat or lunch
at arrival to the E.I. During the trip we may see caymans, turtles and
waterfowl, etc. After approx. 3 hours we will arrive at the E.I. lodge
where we will be received with a welcome drink. We are now deep inside
pristine rainforest and surrounded by its sounds. After a short rest we
will have a short hike to a small lagoon and return in time to enjoy a
jungle sunset at Sunset Point. After returning to the lodge we will board
the canoe for a short night ride to spot caymans with flashlights on the
river banks. After returning we will have dinner, at which the Resident
Naturalists (RNs) will be available to answer questions or brief us on
the Amazon rainforest.
Day 2. After an early breakfast, guided by one of our RNs, we will
start a 3 ½ mile hike to Cocococha oxbow lake. On the way we will
observe exotic plants and insects, colorful butterflies and birds, monkeys
and, with luck, perhaps even some of the large mammals. At the lake canoes
will be available for a ride around the lake to watch the wildlife on the
shoreline. Return to the EI for a late lunch. Afternoon free for relaxing
or independent activities. Dinner.
Day 3 to 6. Free for independent exploring
Day 7. Very early wake up and breakfast. Boarding of the canoe to
return to Pto. Maldonado watching an unforgettable dawn on the Tambopata
river. Transfer to the airport for return flight. End of tour.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR GUESTS:The following notes have to
be kept in mind by all clients interested in visiting the Explorer's Inn
in order to avoid delays in Puerto Maldonado and unnecessary annoyances
to themselves or other guests due to not being duly informed.
Passenger list: It is necessary that we receive
as early as possible the full name, sex, age, citizenship and passport
number of all passengers or members of a group. This list is indispensable
to present to the marine authorities at least 24 hours in advance in order
that they issue the sailing permit for every boat leaving the docks with
tourists. to apply for the permit the same day can delay the departure
by a minimum of 2 or 3 hours.
Luggage: We can not avoid that clients bring along
with them all their luggage, but it is very important that they know in
advance, that due to limited space in our canoes, they can take with them
only one (1) small suitcase or rucksack.. The excess luggage must be left
in our Puerto Maldonado office. Clients often get very angry when they
learn about this at arrival. Also is it important that they bring with
them the small suitcase or rucksack already prepared for the trip, as the
departure is again unnecessarily delayed when they do this in our office.
Clothing: Guests should arrive to Puerto Maldonado
duly dressed for the trip and not start to get dressed at our office, what
has also been cause for delays and annoyance by the other passengers. Also
is it important to keep in mind to bring some warm clothing for chilly
nights and mornings which are not infrequent even in the Amazon rain forest.
Rubber boots in large sizes: Though we normally
have at the Explorer's Inn regular size boots available for most of the
guests, due to that big sizes # 10 plus are impossible to find locally,
we, occasionally have these not in stock for large persons who often complain
and get upset for what they consider an unfair treatment. In order to avoid
this discomfort it is better that guests, in need of oversize boots, bring
them along with them. We will be most happy to buy them when they leave
for our stock at cost if they show us the invoice. or otherwise at US$
10.00 the pair if they don't.
Boats to and from the Explorer's Inn: Though normally
the airline's flights arrive and depart with only a few minutes difference,
guests should remember that not being our services private only one boat
a day will do the trip either way and , for this reason, they cannot claim
that Peruvian Safaris provides an extra boat, if, for any cause, one of
the flights is delayed and they have to wait until the second flight arrives
or, if they have to get up and leave the lodge earlier than necessary to
take their return flight.
