See: Most of Puerto Maldonado's visitors use the town as a launching point, but if you are staying for a day or to make sure to see the following:
• Plaza de Armas. The main square in Puerto Maldonado is much like the main squares all throughout South America. Great for picture taking, eating ice cream, or just sitting around.
• Lumber yard. Although this sounds silly, those interested in tropical conservation won't want to miss this first hand look at the economic drivers behind deforestation.
• El Jaguar Zoo & Disco. Yes, you read that correctly. Puerto Maldonado has a modest zoo complete with local fauna, and at night the place is billed as a night club. Go get trashed with the Brown Capuchin Monkeys at this place.
• Market. Here you can buy everything from a side of beef to Led Zeppelin cd's. This flea market is pretty cool.
• Confluence of the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers. This is in the eastern-most part of town, next to the government buildings, and has a lovely courtyard great for picture taking.
• Reptile Park and Butterfly Garden. Located by the airport, this place is inexpensive and very cool. What else is there to do in this town?
