Today we – once more – left Cuzco in the early morning. The group got split in two parts as the first plane was already booked out. I was on the first plane (LAN Peru, with the second group following on an AeroCondor flight). After we landed in Puerto Maldonaldo, we found ourselves in a new environment, at low altitude (around 1300m above sea level) and in a warm and humid climate.

The people of our lodge did pick us up at the airport and drove us into town; here they gave us a short tour before we headed to the port to jump on a boat for our transfer to the lodge about 30km out of town.

After arrival at the lodge we got a short introduction, lunch and also had the time for a swim in the COLD swimming pool. We then met again in the early afternoon to go on a trip to Monkey Island; later in the evening (after lunch in the dark), we had the opportunity to go caiman spotting.
