Filadelfia: Routes to Natural Attractions

Filadelfia is best explored through the routes to the natural attractions in the surrounding area. The road to the Comunidad de Filadelfia is paved; several longer routes continue through Poblado Filadelfia toward the Tambopata and the clay licks.

Getting There and Route Segments from Filadelfia

The official tourism inventory dated November 22, 2024, lists a tourist minibus, a paved road, a distance of 43 kilometers, and a travel time of 30 minutes for the journey from Puerto Maldonado to the Comunidad de Filadelfia. It gives a further leg from the Comunidad to the Embarcadero Filadelfia: this is traveled by public minibus over a compacted gravel road, covers 19 kilometers, and is also estimated to take 30 minutes. The section from the Embarcadero to the Puesto de Vigilancia y Control Malinowsky is traveled by boat; the listed distance is 3.5 kilometers, with a travel time of 30 minutes.

The routes to Collpa Chuncho and the Río Malinowski offer another way to plan your stay. The SERNANP tourism plan from October 2023 describes both routes as 82 kilometers and 2.5 hours. They pass through Puerto Maldonado, Poblado Florida Baja, Poblado Filadelfia, the Río Tambopata, and the PCV Malinowski. The route to Collpa Chuncho is listed as using a tourist bus first, followed by a fiberglass boat with an outboard motor; the same modes of transport are also listed for the route to the Río Malinowski.

The described route to Collpa Colorado passes through Puerto Maldonado, Poblado Florida Baja, Poblado Filadelfia, the Río Tambopata, the PCV Malinowski, and Collpa Chuncho. Here too, a fiberglass boat with an outboard motor follows the tourist bus; the route is listed as 112 kilometers and four hours. This means Collpa Chuncho and the Río Malinowski, with the same stated distance and duration, can be compared with the longer route to Collpa Colorado. These figures help you compare the different destinations according to the time allocated for each trip.

Clay Licks and Nature Experiences

Nearby is Collpa 8 Gallinas. It is located in the Alto Tambopata sector, in the Inambari District of Tambopata Province, at an elevation of 260 meters within the Tambopata National Reserve. The site lies along the exposed walls of a ravine on the left bank of the Río Tambopata. The tourism inventory dated November 22, 2024, says that boats should arrive before 5:30 a.m. SERNANP rangers determine the landing point so that engine noise does not scare away the birds. Take this requirement into account when planning, and check the current departure times for the boat segments before your trip.

For Collpa Chuncho, the October 2023 SERNANP plan lists wildlife and parrot watching, noncommercial photography, walks on adjacent trails, nature interpretation, and camping as activities. The listed options at the Río Malinowski include boat and kayak trips, walks on adjacent trails, camping, sport fishing, observing wild flora and fauna, and noncommercial photography of landscapes, birds, and mammals. Boat trips are listed as a tourist activity at Collpa Colorado.

If you are looking for a vacation rental in Filadelfia, also factor your planned destinations and route segments into your choice of location.
