| Along the Madre de Dios and Tambopata rivers, are several lodges to base oneself for jungle excursions, but these are usually on the rustic side. Because of its diverse vegetation, this part of the jungle contains a large number of mammals such as giant otters, tapirs, anteaters, caimans and many species of birds. For a few photos, check out: http://www.peruforless.com/gallery/p...uertomaldonado ACCESS ROUTES Puerto Maldonado is only accessible by plane from Cuzco and Lima. ACCOMMODATION All lodges in the area are constructed using the same traditional materials and architectural techniques that native communities throughout the Amazon use for building their homes: wood, palm fronds, wild cane and clay. WHEN TO GO The rainforest of Puerto Maldonado should be visited in the dry season from April to November. HOW LONG I recommend spending 4 days in the lodge. 3 days is just too little time to get a real impression of the jungle.
