The best Amazon rainforest tour in Peru from Cusco
03 November 2025 (174 visits)When you plan as part of your Peru trip a visit to the Amazon, the best way is to fly from Cusco after your Machu Picchu tour and activities around Cusco.
There are regular scheduled flights from Cusco and Lima to the town of Puerto Maldonado, which is the gateway to the Amazon rainforest of southeastern Peru. And for those traveling on a budget in Peru, there is even a bus service from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado.
In Puerto Maldonado, we meet all our guests from the airport or bus station, or from their hotel if they opt to spend a night in town. On Day 1 of their itinerary, we drive with our guests from our office in the center of town to the river port, for the boat trip to our eco-lodge, located 68 kilometers from Puerto Maldonado, deep in the Amazon rainforest.
Following this boat trip, from our comfortable lodge guests spend their stay with us in the company of one of our local naturalist guides, exploring forest trails, navigating rivers, and visiting hidden lake ecosystems. During the day, and even after dark, our guides accompany travelers into the rainforest, helping them to look out for wildlife and learn more about the trees and plants of the Amazon.
A stay at our jungle lodge offers an immersive experience. Our rooms and lodge facilities are surrounded by unspoiled rainforest habitat. Because our rooms are fitted with mesh screens instead of windows, in addition to being well-ventilated, they give guests the unique experience of going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the forest.
And because we are so easy to get to from Cusco or Lima, travelers can plan to spend just 3 or 4 days with us as part of their Peru vacation, and still be sure of enjoying the kind of jungle trip they’ve always dreamed of, deep in a protected and biologically diverse area of Amazon rainforest, in the company of expert professional local guides.
For a jungle trip defined by professionalism, comfort and adventure, visit us at our rainforest lodge!
