Hopefully we have one of the very rare otter sightings. Keep your eyes to the sky as you will also see sightings of beautiful macaws.
Afterwards, we will return to the lodge. We will then set off on a thirty minute walk to the 25 meter Canopy Tower. Here you will have a spectacular view of different birds, such as toucans, macaws and raptors.
