BOAT RIDE AND CAIMAN SEARCH
We walk about 15 minutes to the river port. We get on the boat and sailed upriver through the Tambopata. We open our senses and prepare for the sighting of wild animals that live on the river banks: alligators, capibaras, turtles or the impressive Jaguar. herons, macaws and toucans are seen on the tops of the trees or showing up their flight over the horizon of the river. We are familiar with the fauna and this vast ecosystem.
This is a tour of about 3 hours, in the evening we will be able to appreciate one of the most emblematic gifts of this place, to appreciate the sunset from the river. A spectacle of contrasts that inspires.
The sky darkens, but our senses are sharpened. It’s time to search for the white alligator and nocturnal animals. Our guide will use a powerful beacon and its experienced ability to search between the edges that brightness that the eyes of the alligators reflect in the direct light. Here patience and stillness is key to being able to locate them. We will approach a prudent distance to be able to appreciate the detail of these reptiles.
DINNER
The great night walk
In the darkness of the night we explore the other side of the Amazon by taking a walk with the help of our flashlights. We will enter for about 2 hours in search of wildlife such as: arachnids, frogs, snakes and mammals. It’s time to open our senses well, we hear the sound of birds like owls and night monkeys. We will be surprised to look at the camouflages of caterpillars and moths. luminous mushrooms, armadillos and tarantulas.
Day 2
BREAKFAST
INFIERNO WALK
We prepare for a walk of 3 or 4 hours through the primary Amazonian forest. We will get in ways known only by ese ejas natives so we will have high chances of sightings. Among the species that we can find here we have the squirrel monkey, capuchin monkey, pichico monkey, titi monkey. With luck in the ravine we can see some dwarf alligator or anaconda.
We will pass through swampy ravines, we will fish with our handmade stick and we will carry out a survival demonstration. Our experienced guide will be making a campfire collecting dry branches, thus experimenting and learning to survive as the ancestors did Ese Eja in this tropical forest.
We will open the way and go through this primary forest.
The Infierno Walk is an experience where we will learn to walk in the forest, using our ability, our senses, with care and responsibility. It is a challenge for travelers looking for an authentic experience in the middle of the jungle.
As evening falls, before it becomes dark we return from this hectic incursion of a lot of physical effort. Dinner awaits us.
