From this point on, we are journeying through primary forest where only indigenous tribes live. We ll begin to see more birds such as kingfisher, toucan, heron, macaw, parrot, jabirus and possibly spot some mammals like the tapir, capybara, several varieties of turtle and the caiman. We may spot a jaguar on the river s edge. The camp contains dining room, kitchen, bathrooms and showers in buildings constructed from local materials. We are one of the few travel agencies that can use this exclusive area.
Several trails wind through forests of fichus, palm and rubber trees.
We may encounter an Agami Heron or Sungrebe and Brown Cappuchin Monkeys that are usually feeding our fruits nearby. After lunch, we ll explore other areas, observing the footprints and droppings of jungle mammals. Your guide will explain some of the basics of rainforest ecosystems and point out some of the medicinal plants of the area used by local indigenous groups. At the lake, there are small canoes available for paddling out to the lake s center to quietly observe the wildlife on the shores. We ll see the giant river otter in the lake before returning to camp.
