On the third day, our activities will begin at 8:30 in the morning at our lodging, the remarkable AMAZON GARDEN LODGE.
We will embark on a three-hour tour, beginning with an hour-long journey by boat to puerto maldonad and then we take a bus along the interoceanic highway, followed by a tranquil route with minimal traffic that will lead us to the banks of the Tambopata river.
There, our boat and skilled driver will be eagerly awaiting us, ready to transport us upstream for approximately 30 minutes until we reach our Lodge.”
Along the way, we will have the opportunity to witness a variety of riverside birds, capybaras, and white caimans.
Upon our arrival at the lodge, a refreshing welcome drink will be provided, along with a brief overview of the services available during our stay.
Following the check-in process and settling into our respective rooms, you will have the chance to explore the surroundings and become more acquainted with the area.
After a satisfying lunch, we will take a short break before embarking on a walk through a primary forest adorned with ancient trees.
Throughout the trek, our knowledgeable guide will share insightful information about significant economic activities in our region, such as agriculture, mining, logging, chestnut gathering (Brazil nut), and ecotourism.
Additionally, this excursion presents an excellent opportunity to spot monkeys and other mammals thriving in their natural habitats.
As the sun begins to set, we will return to the lodge to retrieve our flashlights, preparing for an evening adventure.
We will venture out to observe alligators, capybaras, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of a feline predator prowling near the riverside in search of prey.
Following a satisfying dinner, for those still energized and interested, we can embark on a short nocturnal hike.
This excursion will provide the chance to discover insects, arachnids, tarantulas, and potentially encounter creatures such as snakes, armadillos, night monkeys, or even tapirs in close proximity to the lodge.
