Tambopata National Reserve & Canopy Walk (B/L/D)
Wake early for a buffet breakfast and get ready for an exciting day with new experiences ahead. Embark on a long trek through terra firma into the Tambopata National Reserve towards Lake Sandoval. Here you will understand why Madre de Dios is called the biodiversity capital of Peru, while learning about the Reserve’s conservation efforts and the lake’s formation. Navigate by dugout canoe across this mirror-like oxbow lake that is home to the endangered giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), blue and yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus), black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), and one of the world’s biggest fresh water scaled fish, the paiche (Arapaima gigas).
Return to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon you will head out for a canopy walk high in Amazonian trees and an Anaconda walk if time and weather conditions allow. Ascend one of the two 98-foot towers (30 m.) and cross the 7 hanging bridges that connect the treetops at 91 ft. high (28 m). Enjoy the breathtaking vistas and get the chance to watch white-throated toucans (Ramphastos tucanus), woodpeckers, trogons, squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis) and the three-toed sloth (Choleopus hoffmani). After descending keep on feeling the incredible primary rainforest energy going along the 200-meter wooden bridge over the swamps (aguajales). You will learn about the fauna and flora of this flooded ecosystem.
At night get ready for a nocturnal excursion through the rainforest, where you will observe nocturnal animals and their unique behaviours. Listen to night's living nature sounds and penetrate this hidden world. End your day with dinner and a good night's rest back at the lodge.
