Public Transportation
To reach Amaru Natural Park using public transportation, you can take a taxi or a collectivo (shared taxi). From Puerto Maldonado, head to the main square (Plaza de Armas) and look for collectivos heading towards the Interoceánica highway. The fare is around 5-10 soles per person. Once at the highway, inform the driver that you want to get off at the Amaru Natural Park entrance.
