Description
Day 1:
We will begin this trip by leaving Rurrenabaque at 8:30 am. After an hour's boat trip we will visit a local community to learn a little of the way of life in the jungle. During the boat ride along the rivers Beni and Tuichi we can enjoy magnificent landscapes such as the Bala Canyon. When we arrive at our Eco-lodge you’ll be shown your accommodation and we will have lunch. In the afternoon we will take a leisurely walk along trails specifically designed for watching animals such as monkeys and peccaries and for learning about the natural environment.
Day 2:
Breakfast at 7:30 am. After breakfast we will prepare for spending a night camping in the depths of the jungle. We will have to carry the essential equipment (sleeping bags, sleeping mats, mosquito nets) during a walk of about 4 hours to reach our camp, " Arenalito", where we can prepare lunch and rest. At approximately 3:30 pm we will walk to the top of a mountain where we can see nesting macaws, parrots and other birds. From there we can watch these colourful birds, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rainforest and a stunning sunset. That night, if you want, we can take a short walk during which we have a great chance of spotting armadillos, snakes, monkeys, tapirs, nocturnal birds etc. Often at night you can hear the roar of the jaguar or puma.
Day 3:
We will get up at 5.00am to take a short walk near the camp where we can enjoy the sunrise and listen to noisy howler monkeys and a variety of birds welcoming the new day. After breakfast we will head for the River Tuichi where we will build a log raft (traditional transport of the Amazonian Indians) and go rafting for about 2 hours. However, we will also have the boat for security, our backpacks and for people who do not wish to participate in this activity. We will have lunch at the Mashaquipe eco-lodge and later return to Rurrenabaque where we will arrive at about 16:00 pm.
