We have the possibility of seeing large trees, sometimes observing some animals such as monkeys, chichilos or whistlers, howler monkeys and also capuchin monkeys. We’ll go back and have dinner.

DAY 2:
After breakfast we’ll walk about 30 minutes from the lodge to visit the community. Here we’ll learn and see firsthand how indigenous people live in the jungle, we will be able to share moments with the people of this community and then return to have lunch at the lodge. and if we were lucky in the fishing the night before we can taste a delicious fresh fish cooked on the leaf or in bamboo. We’ll go back for lunch, and in the afternoon we’ll go deeper into the jungle to spend the night in a tent.

DAY 3:
We have a light breakfast, we take a last walk around the surroundings during the day, always with the possibility of finding an animal since in the jungle you never know what you can find.
