PUERTO MALDONADO - MADRE DE DIOS

This is the least populated territory in Peru, with only 600,000 people living in its 80,000 Km2 (30,880 sq miles) of jungle area. Its capital is a riverside city known as Puerto Maldonado with 25,000 inhabitants. Near Puerto Maldonado there are several attractions such as the Sandoval and Valencia lakes, next to the Bolivian border (by river, 4 hours from the city). These wonderful places give the tourist the opportunity to fish, be close to nature, and be in contact with native communities.
