Peru Extension
Puerto Maldonado (Amazon Rainforest)

from 365

4 days - including accommodation, transfers, meals & guide

On the edge of the Amazon rainforest, deep in southern Peru, lies Puerto Maldonado, the gateway to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Here, life follows a different rhythm. Rivers become highways, the rainforest is your backdrop, and nature sets the pace. This short jungle extension allows you to experience the Amazon in its purest form, with a comfortable lodge as your base.

Macaws and parrots paint the sky with color, towering trees rise above you, and at night the forest reveals its hidden world. Puerto Maldonado is not a destination to tick off a list, but a place to feel, to listen, and to slow down.

Highlights
  • Thanks to the domestic flight to Puerto Maldonado, travel distances are short and comfortable, offering a smooth alternative to longer jungle routes such as those to Manu.

  • Although Manu is the better-known name, this part of the Amazon is equally rich in wildlife and vegetation and ideal for an immersive rainforest experience.

  • A wide range of lodges is available, from simple and authentic to more comfortable and upscale, allowing you to tailor the extension to your travel style and budget

  • A temporary passport is not valid. A personal credit card is mandatory for hotel stays and car rentals.

    Connections recommends to let common sense prevail and to build in some slack in terms of validity. Often unforeseen circumstances (weather factors, volcanoes, and threats all kinds) are the cause of a mandatory postponed return date. A credit card is required upon check-in at the hotels and also when renting a car.Please keep this in mind.

The ESTA procedure must be requested via the official website link https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and paid by a personal credit card only.We strongly recommend you to print out the Esta- or Eta permit and to have it on you while you travel to avoid problems.

  • Travellers with a non-Belgian nationality and / or travellers travelling on a foreign passport are invited to spontaneously report this matter to the Connections travel consultant and shall contact their respective embassy (s) or Consulate (ate) to obtain the latest updates concerning all current travel requirements and documents. They must apply for an electronic travel authorization at least 72 hours prior to departure via the official website link https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and pay by a personal credit card only.

For dry coastal strip that rarely sees rain and the temperature often varies between 14° C and 22° C the most favorable months are October to April. For the Andes and Amazon that period runs from April to October. Indeed, the Sierra enjoys a spring climate. Temperatures drop significantly depending on the altitude (between 8° and 18° C lower) and travel to Cuzco and Machu Picchu is not recommended during the months of January and February!
