EXPLORTAMBOS is a primitive camp in Explorama´s deep virgin
rainforest reserve of the Napo River, a two-hour walk from our nearest
lodge, ExplorNapo. The new Tambos have a maximum capacity for 16
explorers who share this experience, sleeping in individual shelters
with mosquito netted beds (shelters for couples are also available),
eating meals cooked on an open-hearth fireplace and using the Tambos as
the departing point for newly opened trails.
Due to the Tambo's isolation, the possibilities of spotting wildlife are
much better than from any other lodge in this part of the Amazon. In the
short time that the area has been visited by biologists, zoologists and
our guides, many different species of primates - red titi monkeys,
yellow handed titi monkeys, tamarins, squirrel monkeys, monk sakis,
pygmy marmosets and howler monkeys have been observed. In addition to
primates, they have also confirmed the presence of ocelots, tayras,
arboreal anteaters, and other mammals. The ExplorTambo basic program
includes nights at Explorama Lodge and ExplorNapo as well as the Tambos.
On this adventure you will have excellent opportunities to discover the
unique animals and birds of the Amazon as well as to enjoy the wide
variety of plants and insect life.
Day 1 : IQUITOS – EXPLORAMA LODGE
Reception at the airport, brief city orientation and transfer to the
Explorama dock. Fifty mile journey down the Amazon River to Yanamono
Stream where Explorama Lodge is located. Afternoon hike along the "Lake
Trail"
through lowland rainforest which is seasonally flooded. During the high
water season, this excursion is done by open boat! After dinner, there
is a chance to visit the Lodge's "Bar Tahuampa" where local musicians
often play guitar and flute music or guides will also be pleased to have
you invite them to relate some of the many legends of the Amazon forest.
Overnight at Explorama Lodge. (B, L)
Day 2 : EXPLORAMA LODGE – EXPLORNAPO LODGE
After breakfast, a boat rides down the Amazon and up the Napo River to
the ExplorNapo Reserve and ExplorNapo Lodge. Afternoon visit to the
ReNuPeRu Ethnobotanical Garden located next to ExplorNapo and tended by
a local shaman. This garden is used to show visitors rainforest plants
used in modern medicine as well as examples of native plant remedies
which science may utilize in the future. Evening excursion by open boat
along the Sucusari Stream in search of caiman and to enjoy the night
sounds and stars of the Southern sky. Overnight ExplorNapo at Lodge. (B,L,D)
Day 3 : EXPLORNAPO LODGE – EXPLORTAMBOS CAMP
Morning hike to the Canopy Walkway, a suspended bridge spanning 500 meters (one-third
of a mile), connected by tree platforms and reaching a height of over 35
meters (115 feet) above the ground. Here you observe a "bird's eye view" of
part of the rainforest rarely seen by man but accessible without any type of
climbing skill or equipment. Afternoon hike to the secluded Tambo clearing
where small sleeping shelters offer an intense overnight camping experience
in the rainforest. A night walk provides the possibility of seeing animals
rarely seen during the day. Overnight at ExplorTambos Logde. (B, L, D)
Day 4 : EXPLORTAMBOS CAMP– EXPLORAMA LODGE
Morning return to ExplorNapo for a boating excursion along one of the
Napo tributaries spotting for sloth, birding and fishing for piranha.
Also a chance to visit some of the local river people called "ribereños"
whose houses are seen along the river. Afternoon boat trip back to
Explorama Lodge passing the town of Francisco de Orellana, where a
statue is erected to the intrepid explorer who became the first European
to see the Amazon River in 1542. Overnight at Explorama Lodge. (B, L, D)
Day 5 : EXPLORAMA LODGE - IQUITOS
Morning hike along the "Bushmaster Trail" where scientific studies by
the Missouri Botanical Gardens found one of the world's highest
biodiversity of trees per square hectare. Your guide will point out many
examples of native plants used as remedies by local people. Afternoon
return to Iquitos and transfer to the airport for your departure flight.

Machu Picchu and my entire visit to Peru were
wonderful. A dream come true.
I could not have been happier with everyone I met through your
arrangements.
The tours were very informative and showed me more than I knew
existed in this beautiful place.
All of the accommodations were very comfortable.
The luncheon buffet at the Alhambra was top rate. And the Ferré
Hotel in Lima was also a very good choice.Your personal assistance
throughout was exceptional!
Thank you for everything!

I was one of
the “Joel Williams” party of four who was recently on a Peru Gateway
Travel tour of northern and southern Peru. I had to write so you
would know how satisfied we were with the hotel accommodations, the
tour guides, the restaurants they choose for our lunches and just
everything about the trip.
The hotels we stayed in were well located, clean and convenient in
every way. We have absolutely no complaints!
Our tour covered Peru from the north to the south. It had four
internal flights, so there were many connections, pick ups and
deliveries involved. Peru Gateway Travel made sure we were always
delivered on time to the airports and promptly met and picked up
when we landed. We never had a moments worry.
Since we had many different day tours, we had several different
guides. All were professional and spoke our language well. All were
very knowledgeable and eager to impart that knowledge to us. They
chose great places for our lunches and the cuisine was
unforgettable. We have traveled to many countries but found the food
in Peru to be absolutely wonderful.
I also wanted to mention the drivers who picked us up at all times
of the day and night, drove us to our next destination and the
delivered us safely to our hotels. We never had a driver who was
less than prompt, courteous and most importantly, a skilled and
careful driver.
The sites we saw were the places we chose to see. And they did not
disappoint us. From the desert to the Andes to the Jungle, we
enjoyed it all.
Please feel free to use this email on your website or as a
testimonial. All four of our group would recommend Peru Gateway
Travel to anyone planning a trip to Peru. We were well taken care
of, enjoyed delicious food, saw awesome sights and had a wonderful
time.
Sincerely.

I am now back
home but still not believed that the holiday is over. I just
write you to tell you that I had a wonderful time in Peru and to
thanks for
your support. The circuit was very well designed and I had the
opportunity
to visit all the important sites I envisaged and also the Sacred
Valley and
the Altiplano.
I was really impressed by the organization and your people, always
in time
for pick up and interested to offer the necessary information.
Finally I showed to my friends that Peru is not so far and a visit
there
could be a wonderful experience. For me was a dream come true.
Many thanks to you and to your team.

My 2 adult children and I recently returned from our
hike to Machu Picchu and I wanted to thank you for all your
assistance. Our trip was great. We very much enjoyed visiting your
beautiful country. I especially want to praise our guide, cook and
porters. They did a terrific job. The food was marvelous and after a
long hike it was definitely something to look forward to. The
porters were very kind and when I needed some assistance at the end
of the 3rd day one of the porters helped me a lot. Our guide was
great. He was very knowledgeable and fun to hike with and he seemed
to really love his job. Again, thanks so much for everything
