Board a catamaran and follow your guide’s instructions to try and spot as many animals as you can. it is possible to see birds, reptiles and mammals, including the endangered giant river otter. You can also practice catch and release fishing, with chances of fishing carnivorous piranhas.

Don Aurelio’s Farm:
Visit a local farm to see the fascinating shapes, colors, and tastes of the local fruits and herbs that are harvested here. Some of the Amazonian fruits are the sweet coconut-looking copoazu, and the Western Amazonian strawberry guava, frequently used to prepare refreshing juices. Unfortunately for the farmers but luckily to you, people are not the only ones that love these fruits! Toucanets, woodpeckers, and silver beaked tanagers fly around the plantations looking for papaya and banana.

Return to the lodge and walk the trails to admire the endemic flora, counting with towering trees that are more than one hundred years old.

Night Safari:
After dinner, take a night safari by boat to let yourself be carried away by the mystic Amazonian night sounds and gaze at the clear Southern sky and its constellations. Admire animals that can only be seen when the sun goes down, such as caimans and bats.

Start off by land, traveling southwards from Puerto Maldonado to Puerto Nuevo, where you will ride a boat that takes you down Tambopata River, within the Tambopata National Reserve. This will be your first chance to see endemic animals, like turtles, egrets, herons and capybaras on the riverbanks, and colorful toucanets and macaws in the sky. A local vegetarian dish is served for lunch.

Arrive at the Inotawa, a wonderful 16-room lodge located in the La Torre area of the Tambopata Reserve. Meet your guide and the warm local staff, eager to answer any of your questions about the lifestyle in the Amazon.

Take your first trek to get familiar with the native fauna. Admire the bright colors of the flowers and the imposing hight of the trees, and keep an eye open to spot birds and other animals.

The lake also hosts a variety of fish, including carnivorous piranhas. You can also practice catch and release fishing and see if you can catch one!

Don Aurelio’s Farm:

There are three main lakes in this region: Montes, Pato and Lagarto. Hike the area surrounding the lakes and see the mammals, reptiles, birds, and trees each trail has to offer. Your guide will tell you about the lifestyle in the jungle and the healing properties of the plants.

After 4 or 5 hours of exploration, take a well-deserved rest in the middle of the jungle to soak up energy.
Solitaria Clay Lick:

Get to a hidden clay lick called ‘Solitaria,’ meaning ‘lonely’ in Spanish. Here, many mammals gather to inherit the clay from the walls, similar to what parakeets do at La Torre clay lick. Some of the animals you can see here include brocket deers, peccaries, and tapirs.

In the afternoon, visit the home of a local family to get a cultural exchange.

Night Safari:
When night falls and the sun hides, the Amazonian landscape completely changes. Board a boat to venture into the territory of the nocturnal creatures of the jungle, with a flashlight on hand to spot small frogs, bats, and caimans emerging from the waters.

One of the guides will join you along the way and give you assistance at the airport. Take a flight to Cuzco or Lima to continue your journey through Peru, take a flight back home or continue with your South American vacation.
