TRAVELER EXPERIENCE

Peru told by those who explored it

We share the photographs and full story of a traveler who visited different regions of Peru with our team. The story should present the journey in the traveler’s own voice, without replacing it with an editorial account from the agency.

An unforgettable experience, wonderful places to visit

Choosing the agency to organize our trip was an excellent experience. From the planning stage, Carlos helped us choose the best places to visit.

When we arrived in Peru, Efrain met with us, explained everything about our tour, and was always attentive to every detail.

Renato was an excellent guide, always explaining everything clearly, very kind, and looking after us throughout the trip. Víctor was our driver and was also very friendly and attentive. Without a doubt, it was an unforgettable experience. We visited beautiful places. Thank you to the entire Cusco Peru team.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Frequently Asked Questions About Amazon Packages

Duration, access, seasonality, and the differences between Tambopata itineraries often determine which program is the best fit. These answers focus on the search intent of this landing page and the characteristics of the current packages.

Where do the Amazon packages in this category take place?

The current selection focuses on Tambopata, in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon. The programs use Puerto Maldonado as the main gateway and continue toward river areas, rainforest, Lake Sandoval, and lodges in Tambopata. For this reason, although the main keyword is “Amazon packages,” the landing page should also reinforce Tambopata and the Peruvian Amazon to clearly explain where the trip takes place.

How many days do I need for a Tambopata tour?

The current packages in this category mainly last 4 days / 3 nights, with one 5-day / 4-night option. Four days allow travelers to combine transfers, river navigation, hikes, and wildlife observation, while five days provide more time in the Amazon environment and a less condensed pace.

How do I get to Tambopata and Lake Sandoval?

The usual entry point is Puerto Maldonado. From there, each program continues by road and river depending on the lodge or area included. For the Sandoval sector, SERNANP indicates an approximate 30-minute river journey followed by a 3 km hike. The exact transfer details should always be checked in the itinerary of each package.

What is the best time to travel to the Peruvian Amazon?

Tambopata can be visited year-round. SERNANP recommends the period from May to October and identifies the rainy season as running from December to March. The climate is humid and warm, so travelers should consider rain, heat, and temperature changes when preparing their luggage.

What is the difference between a Lake Sandoval tour and a more immersive Tambopata expedition?

Lake Sandoval is one of the main tourist areas within the Tambopata National Reserve and allows travelers to combine river navigation, hiking, and wildlife observation in an area that is relatively accessible from Puerto Maldonado. More immersive programs dedicate additional time to rainforest areas and more remote lodges, making them better suited for travelers with a strong interest in nature, photography, and birdwatching.

What do Amazon packages usually include?

Inclusions vary by program, but the current package descriptions include combinations of land and river transfers, accommodation, meals, a guide, and rainforest activities. Domestic flights, entrance fees to protected natural areas, and some optional activities may not be included, so the conditions listed for each package should always be reviewed before booking.
