Overview

Experience an authentic and unforgettable experience in the Tambopata National Reserve with this 4-day tour. Unlike conventional packages, we take you to three unique destinations: the Chuncho Macaw Collpa, where you will observe hundreds of parrots and macaws in their natural habitat; Lake Sandoval, famous for its giant otters, alligators and exotic birds; and Lake Yacumama, ideal for admiring spectacular sunsets and abundant wildlife.

You will also enjoy a cultural exchange with a Matsigenka family, where you will learn their weaving techniques, use of the bow and arrow, and ancient traditions.

Our groups are small, our local guides highly trained and the jungle lodge offers comfort without losing touch with nature.

Each day has been designed so that you have a close encounter with the fauna and live the jungle in a respectful way.
Nature, culture and adventure in one trip.
