Travel Tips from people who've been to Puerto Maldonado
0144Avoid the hideous shopping centre! If you're just stopping over on your way further south or before heading accross to the national parks, you would do better to stay in Puerto Varas.

002If you plan on get some good photos in the jungle, you really need to have a dslr with iso of around 800. I shot with a 35mm slr and had 400 stock, a lot of photos ruined by shutter speed related blurring. Speedlites don't work unless you are reasonably close to the animals. Great place though!

006An interesting and bustling town, not necessarily a place to spend much time, but the launch point to visit the Tambopata region of the Amazon Rainforest. Only way to the lodges is a wonderfully relaxing boat ride. Well worth the trip to see the Macaws and other wildlife.
