Puerto Maldonado
V!VA User‘s Description
A dusty little town located just a half-hour plane ride from Cusco, Puerto Maldonado is the last stop for travelers heading into the infinitely more interesting Amazon jungle. Like many jungle towns Puerto Maldonado has survived a series of boom and bust cycles, the first being a prosperous rubber industry in 1902. Gold mining and lumber soon followed suit, and continue today, though to a large extent tourism and Brazil nuts are on the rise. For the rainforest's sake, cross your fingers that responsible tourism takes off.
