Puerto Maldonado is a small jungle town that is located close to the Bolivian and Brazilian borders. It is also one of the main jungle destinations for foreign travelers to Peru, largely due to its easy accessibility from Cusco. For visitors wishing to experience some of the jungle, but only having a couple of days, the area around Puerto Maldonado is a good option. Puerto Maldonado is also the entry point to the Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone, one of the areas with the greatest biodiversity in the world, including the world’s largest macaw clay lick.
