ITINERARY
DAY 1:
Reception to our traveler at the airport or bus station and transfer to our Green Jungle Tours office for registration. Then we will take our vehicle from our office and we will have a trip of about an hour to the community of Filadelfia, there we will take a boat and navigate upstream the Tambopata River for a period of 10 minutes to reach the hotel facilities. Before meeting your rooms, you will be informed of the hotel policies by the guide, then we will settle into our rooms provided.
After a well-deserved siesta and a delicious lunch, we will have a walk of more than two hours in the dense tropical forest guided by an expert local guide, who will take you through our trails where you will see a great variety of medicinal plants and trees that can be more than six hundred years old (Brazil nut and tonka bean tree). On our trails and the bird watching tower with more than 45 meters (148 ft.) high you will always have the opportunity to see wildlife such as monkeys, toucans, parrots, macaws, squirrels, reptiles, insects, frogs, arachnids, among others.
Feel the pure energy of mother nature living magical moments inside the Tambopata National Reserve. Around sunset we return to the hotel for a short rest.
At night we take our boat to look for nocturnal animals that are always on the banks of the Tambopata River, this time we will have the opportunity to see caimans (alligators) of different sizes, owls, nightjars and hopefully the world’s largest rodent Capybara. On a night with clear skies, we will witness the majestic view that gives us the milky way with a myriad of stars and shooting stars, after a pleasant ecological walk we return for dinner.
DAY 2:
What better than tasting a cup of tea or coffee before starting our exciting journey to the macaw and parrot clay lick, at dawn we take the boat to navigate the Tambopata River for more than half an hour, on the way we could spot JAGUAR or ANACONDA, Already installed in the clay lick of parrots and macaws Chuncho we can observe the majestic spectacle of colors and sounds of these birds for more than three hours, while we are enchanted with this wonderful view of birds, at the same time we enjoy our country breakfast.
Later in the morning we return and we go with our boat into the small branches of the Tambopata River in search of wildlife such as capybaras, tapirs, wild pigs, monkeys, caimans, turtles or cats, while enjoying the beautiful scenery that has the Tambopata National Reserve and its rivers.
In the afternoon we return to the city taking the same road that led us to the first hotel, back in the city we take a vehicle that will take us for about 15 minutes to Lake Yacumama, this lake has a lush scenic beauty and has the most impressive sunset in the region.
This lake is also home to hundreds of macaws, parrots and parakeets, on many occasions you can observe black caimans, herons, cormorants, wild ducks, swallows, 4 varieties of piranhas and with a lot of luck a family of river otters. In this tour of Lake Yacumama we will use a small rowing boat that will take us to the point where we usually fish piranhas, which in turn is very easy to do with small hooks, piranha that we catch we take a picture with it and then return it to its aquiferous environment, so as not to diminish the food source of the animals that fish. Almost at dusk we head to the pier where we will take our boat to reach our hotel and finally take a pleasant rest.
DAY 3:
One of the best times to see abundant wildlife is at sunrise or sunset in our case we choose to leave at dawn in our boat heading to Sandoval Lake located within the Tambopata National Reserve, witness the exuberant biodiversity that has the Sandoval Lake is simply incomparable, to reach the Sandoval Lake we walk along a wooden path of almost 3 km (1.8 miles). Along the walk we are always surprised by the rich fauna that this place has, at the end of the trail we find a small dock where we take a rowboat to make our tour of Lake Sandoval in this journey we can see black caimans, giant otters, herons, turtles, monkeys, macaws, wild ducks, and much more, we return to the lodge before noon for our lunch.
In the afternoon we leave to visit a family of natives belonging to the “Matsigenka” culture where we will interact with them learning part of their culture, we will learn to use bows and arrows, to spin and weave cotton to make their clothing called (Cushma), they also teach us to make ropes using the bark of plants and finally show us their ingenuity to make fire just using nature, at sunset we return to our hotel.
At dusk the jungle begins to offer us a majestic night life, very different from the usual day life, for this tour we will have to go out with our flashlights and we will go into the trails in search of nocturnal wildlife such as porcupines, sloths, arachnids, insects, reptiles, opossums, night monkeys, owls, among others. We return to the hotel for dinner and then rest.
