Welcome and reception at the airport or bus terminal. Depending on when you arrive, you may first be transferred to the local tour operator's office to rest, have a snack or coffee and use their wifi. Around noon, once the whole group has arrived, you will transfer to the boat wharf, Port Captain. Begin the 1-hour boat ride to your eco-lodge while enjoying the wonders of the rainforest. Set off down the Madre de Dios River thru the heart of the jungle surrounded by plants, animals and breathtaking scenery.
Arrive at your eco-lodge and settle into your private bungalow. Take a short rest before meeting with your guide followed by a walk around the lodge and its trails. Before dinner, you may take a walk with your guide and experience the jungle as it transforms from day into night making way for nocturnal animals. Then, go to the dinning hall for your first dinner in the rainforest and enjoy a typical meal from this region.
Day 2: Jungle Walk – Taricaya Reserve (B, L, D)
Have breakfast between 7-8am then begin your adventure walking thru the trails surrounded by huge trees. You will arrive at the first platforms located 50 and 80 feet (15 and 25 m) high, accessed by a suspension bridge, and explore the amazing structure of the trees and the wildlife that live in and around them. Continue your walk into the Taricaya reserve towards the Canopy platform, the highest tree platform in the Amazon rainforest located about 150 feet (45 m) high. Catch a glimpse of flying macaws, parrots, toucans, or the infamous harpy eagle; the views from this platform are truly unforgettable.
Continue into the reserve to reach the animal rescue center, where you will encounter many different wild animals including jaguars, pumas, toucans, macaws, monkeys, jaguarondi, bush dog, tapirs, and more.
