Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car from the center of Puerto Maldonado, head south on Avenida Jorge Chavez. Continue for approximately 5 km until you reach the junction with the road leading to Tambopata National Reserve. Follow the signs towards the reserve, which will take you along a mostly paved road. After about 15 km, the road will become unpaved as you enter the reserve area. Continue driving for another 10 km until you reach the designated birdwatching area, marked by signs. Ensure your vehicle has good clearance for the unpaved sections.
-
Public Transportation
To reach the birdwatching area via public transportation, start from the main plaza in Puerto Maldonado. Look for a local bus or shared taxi (known as 'colectivos') that travels to the Tambopata National Reserve. The fare is usually around 10-15 soles per person. The journey takes approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on road conditions. Inform the driver of your destination, and they will drop you off at the closest point to the birdwatching area. From there, you may need to walk a short distance (about 1 km) to reach the specific birdwatching site.
-
Tour Operator
Consider booking a guided birdwatching tour that includes transportation. Many tour operators in Puerto Maldonado offer packages that provide transport to the birdwatching site, along with a knowledgeable guide. Prices vary, but expect to pay around 100-200 soles per person, depending on the length of the tour and included services. This option is ideal for those who prefer a hassle-free experience and want insights from an expert guide.
