What you can do from the lodge
The lodge sits in primary forest, with trails right behind it. On the first afternoon our guide walks you 2 to 3 km (1.2 to 1.9 mi) into the forest to learn about medicinal plants and look for the area’s seven monkey species, and the walk ends at the canopy tower, with a view over the top of the rainforest.
- Chuncho macaw clay lick: about an hour upriver by boat at dawn, with breakfast in front of the clay lick.
- Caimans by night: a boat ride with a spotlight along the Tambopata River.
- Kayaking on the Tambopata River or into the Malinowski River.
- Fishing on the Gato stream, 30 minutes downriver, or on the Tambopata River.
- Mammal clay lick: a 5 to 8 km (3 to 5 mi) trail through the forest, on our 4-day tour.
- Night walks to look for frogs, spiders, tarantulas and sometimes snakes.
