Upon arrival at the airport or land terminal, youโll be greeted and transferred to Monte Amazรณnico Lodge for check-in. Then, youโll head to the captaincy port for a one-hour boat ride to the lodge. Once there, enjoy a welcome meeting with a refreshing local fruit juice before settling into your room.
After a short rest to recharge, youโll embark on a guided two-hour walk through the dense tropical forest. Accompanied by an expert local guide, youโll follow our trails and marvel at ancient trees, some over 500 years old. Along the way, you may spot a variety of wildlife, including toucans, oropendolas, macaws, monkeys, snakes, and butterflies. This journey offers a unique opportunity for you to experience the magic of the Amazon jungle within the 278,000-hectare protected area of the Tambopata National Reserve.
After lunch, we will visit the โmonkey islandโ, located right in front of our lodge crossing the Madre de Dios river where we will encounter different species such as the family of capuchin monkey friars living on the island and, consequently, we return to the lodge.
After the sun sets, weโll embark on an exciting night expedition along the Madre de Dios River, flashlights in hand, to spot elusive white caimans resting on the sandbanks. As we navigate the riverโs edge, keep an eye out for capybarasโthe worldโs largest rodents, weighing up to 60 kilosโgoing about their nightly routine. After this thrilling encounter with the Amazonโs nocturnal wildlife, weโll return to the lodge for a well-deserved dinner and a restful nightโs sleep.
