The capital of the department has the characteristics of a big Amazonian town, 25°C on average and high humidity. Ancient land of the Mojos, who opposed a long resistance to the Incas before succumbing under the blows of Sinchi Roca's troops; founded in the 19th century, Puerto Maldonado was really populated only in the 20th century by welcoming emigrants from Cusco and Puno. The discovery of gold in the Ríos Inambari and Madre de Dios has now awakened the city and it lives in the noise of motorcycle taxis and constructions. The attraction here are the lodges immersed in a primary forest where the fauna is exceptional.
