Introduction

Puerto Maldonado

"The Miracle of the Nature" is the Capital of the Department of Madre de Dios, located in the southeastern part of Peru . Puerto Maldonado is a departure point of the one of greatest adventures you could ever imagine, an expedition in the Peruvian Jungle. This is an exuberant and vigorous land that has not yet been punished by the destructive claws of civilization. The jungle is ferocious and intricate, hot and oppressive, but rich in life.

In this area of the Amazon - mythologized by the Spanish conquerors as El Dorado - the greatest variety of animal and plant species on the planet coexist in perfect harmony.

Madre de Dios can only be described as a miracle of nature: A world of gigantic trees, powerful rivers and thick fog, in which man is an outsider, a strange being disturbed by the whispers of the inhabitants of the jungle as he walks its tortuous trails. Here silence never reigns. Here anything could happen.
