PUERTO MALDONADO
TAMBOPATA NATIONAL RESERVE AND HEATH RIVER WILDLIFE CENTER

A daily commercial flights from Lima (2 hours) and Cusco (30 minutes) brings you to Puerto Maldonado, a bustling frontier town and the gateway to the Tambopata National Reserve. Here on of our resident naturalist guides will meet you as you leave the airport arrivals area, and will remain with you until you return to the airport to board your flight back to Cusco or Lima.

Extraordinary contiguous Amazon reserves lie only a 25minute flight from Cusco, the great Tambopata Madidi wilderness on the Perú Bolvia border. Taken together these parks are two thirds the size of Costa Rica and protect the most species rich natural habitats in the world (January 1994 and march 2000 cover stories, National Geographic Magazine).

The great Heat River provides the fastest and easier route to the uninhabited care of these parks, a vast 2.5 million acre (One million Hectares) wilderness full of the five top predators of the Amazon Jaguar, Giant otter, black caiman, harpy eagle and anaconda. The unhunted region of Manu (The other great Peruvian nature reserve) is only 750,000acres (300,000 hectares) and demands more money and time to visit.

The Heath River features the world´s most accessible large macaw lick, which has registered up to 260 large macaws in one day, making it one of the five largest recorded macaw licks in the world. Though all five of these licks are spectacular, the Heat lick is by far the most economical to visit, making it ideal for a short Amazon itinerary to combine with the Inca sites of Cusco and Machupicchu. The Heath lick is the only one of the five that can be reached the same day that you fly by jet from Cusco.

Only four hours by river from Puerto Maldonado airport, heat river wildlife center is the gateway to the largest uninhabited and unhunted rainforest in the Amazón. An immensely photogenic macaw clay lick, capybaras, oxbow lakes with giant otters, hundreds of birds and mammal species and lodge 100% owned by the Ese´eja Indians of Sonene make the Heat the best combination of nature and culture in the entire Amazon.
