Our trip to the Tambopata rainforest starts in the small town of Puerto Maldonado. This is the gateway to the Tambopata rainforest, or the Amazon. The charming central square and the nice restaurants in Puerto Maldonado are definitely worth a visit. From here, all tours by boat to the rainforest depart. We did the 4D/3N jungle tour ourselves. In this blog article, I share my day-to-day experience of visiting this part of the Amazon rainforest, as well as some practical tips for Puerto Maldonado and Tambopata.
