Day 1
Transfer to Wasai Tambopata Lodge | Night Walk
Reception at the airport and transfer to Wasaí Maldonado Hotel, where you will receive a tropical welcome juice and a brief explanation of the trip.
Then we will start a trip of approximately two hours to Wasaí Tambopata lodge. The trip is initially carried out by land vehicle for 47km of paved road followed by 17 km of an off-road route that
passes through settler’s farms and primary forests. This road ends in a small port in the Tambopata river where our motorboat will be waiting for us to cruise the Tambopata River downstream for approximately 20 minutes, headed towards Wasaí Tambopata Lodge (Box lunch on the route). During the journey we will have the opportunity to observe various bird species, hopefully families of capybaras, the world's largest rodents, alligators and other wildlife.
Reception and accommodation at the Lodge. Introductory nocturnal walk to understand rainforest ecosystems and see and listen to the insects, bats, frogs, and perhaps some occasional encounter with a nocturnal mammal. Return to the lodge for dinner. We will enjoy diverse sounds of the jungle which will accompany our first night in the Amazon. Night at Wasaí Tambopata Lodge. (BL, D).
Day 2

we will observe one of the greatest wildlife spectacles where hundreds of parrots and different species of macaws gather to eat clay. We will have breakfast while we wait for the macaws to arrive.
Halfway through the morning we will return to Wasaí Tambopata Lodge. This river route goes through the Tambopata National Reserve offering the best chance to watch wildlife in the region.

You will find out about medicinal plants and other uses that the native communities give them. We can see walking palm trees, sacred lupuna trees, hollow trees inhabited by ants and more.
