Embark on a 6-day journey from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado, traversing spectacular ecosystems ranging from the mystical mist forests of the Andes to the lush unspoilt jungles of the Peruvian Amazon.

Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, you’ll navigate meandering rivers, walk hidden trails and discover unrivalled biodiversity. You’ll have the chance to spot iconic species such as the giant otter, the red and green macaw, jaguars, various types of monkeys and, hopefully, the elusive spectacled bear, one of the most enigmatic species in South America.

This trip is more than just an excursion: it is a deep and sustainable dive into one of the richest and most protected ecosystems on the planet. Ideal for conscious travellers, nature lovers and authentic adventure seekers.
