Itinerary

DAY 1: Cusco Aiport - Boca Manu:

We pick you up at your hotel in Cusco and drive to the airport for the 35 minute flight to a small airstrip cut into the rainforest at Boca Manu. On arrival at the airport you will be met by your rainforest guide. Our motorized dugout will take you  Madre de Dios River up river to our lodge.
On the river journey we will see our first Amazonian wildlife and riverside birds such as Skimmers, Terns, Herons, Egrets and Orinoco Geese. We should arrive at the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon we explore a trail that leads to Valles oxbow Lake, an Oxbow Lake where we can do some piranha fishing and alot of bird watching, at night we will search for some caimans and nocturnal wildlife. (L.D)

DAY 2: Boca Manu - Blanco Oxbow Lake Blanquillo Reserve:

 As the lick slows down in midmorning we''ll head for Cocha Blanco, an old, oxbow lake, in search of a family of Giant Otters that live there, and canoe around the lake on our floating platform looking for other wildlife.  in the way back we will search for monkeys, and wild pigs. we will retur to our lodge in the dark (B. L. D)

DAY 3: Macaw Clay lick - Blanco Oxbow Lake:

Early start to-day for the Macaw Clay Lick. This is truly one of the world’s great wildlife spectacles as hundreds of Parrots and their larger relatives, the Macaws, congregate at this traditional locality to eat the mineral rich clay that is essential to their digestion. We''ll use a floating blind to get close to the birds. The noise alone is incredible and the sight of these brightly coloured birds at the lick is a sight not to be forgotten

The Rest of the day we will  explore the forest and trails around the lodge. We''ll be on the lookout for Monk Saki - an uncommon and rarely seen monkey of the tierra firme forest that is occasionally seen here. We''ll explore trails where groups of Manakins , perhaps the most enigmatic of neo-tropical birds, perform their strange mating dances.Late in the afternoon we will return to the lodge (B.L.D)

DAY 4: Blanquillo Lodge- Boca Manu - Cusco: 

After breakfast we head upriver (about 2 hours) to the small airstrip at Boca Manu. Early morning flocks of birds pass over the boat, and we may see a Capybara, the world’s largest rodent. Arriving at the airstrip, we board our aircraft for the 35 minute flight over seemingly endless rainforest and then over the Andes, passing glaciers and snow peaks to the ancient Inca capital of Cusco where our staff will be waiting to take you to your hotel.
