  • Day 1

    Cusco to Pilcopata

    Leave Cusco early for a 4-5 hour drive through the Andes to Pilcopata. Stop at Paucartambo's colonial town before 11 AM to experience the local market at its liveliest. The road gets rough after Paucartambo, so consider taking motion sickness medication. You'll spend the night at a lodge in Pilcopata, your first stop in the Amazon.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Pilcopata Region

    Take time to adjust to the jungle environment. You can join traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies with local shamans if interested. Just make sure to choose certified practitioners and let your guide know about any health concerns. The high humidity means quick-dry clothing is essential, and you'll need to drink plenty of water.

    
  • Day 4

    Madre de Dios River Journey

    Board a private boat on the Madre de Dios River to Boca Manu. You'll likely spot river birds and caimans along the way, so keep your binoculars handy. Visit the Diamante indigenous community to learn about life in the Amazon. Pack light but bring rain gear for the typical afternoon showers.

    
  • Day 5

    Maquisapayoc Exploration

    Travel deeper into Manu's protected zone to Maquisapayoc, where wildlife viewing is at its best. As one experienced traveler shared: "The night walks were incredible – we saw so many nocturnal creatures. Just remember to bring good hiking boots as the trails can get very muddy."

    
  • Day 6

    Maquisapayoc Activities

    Get up around 5 AM for prime bird watching, especially at the macaw clay licks. Spend the day exploring nearby oxbow lakes where giant river otters often swim. Even in the heat, wear long sleeves and pants to protect against persistent mosquitoes.

    
  • Day 7

    Return Journey

    Start early with a boat ride to Boca Colorado, followed by ground transport to Puerto Maldonado for your Lima flight. Keep important items in waterproof bags during the boat-to-road transfer. Book late afternoon flights from Puerto Maldonado to account for possible river delays.
