Wildlife & Nature
Here, rescued animals—victims of illegal trafficking and the pet trade
"Another continent of life remains to be discovered, not on the ground, but 20 or 30 meters above it, spanning thousands of square kilometers." Deep excursion to the Taricaya Ecological Reserve to further discover the great Amazon biodiversity and explore the forest from a different perspective. We will go up a 13-meter tower and then walk along the 90-meter-long suspension bridge until we reach the platform 45 meters high in the crown of an ancient Kapok tree. THE TARICAYA CANOPY WALKWAY is the highest platform in nature in South America! The best view of the Amazon jungle is from this spot.
Introduction walk under the direction of the naturalist guide through our nearby trails to discover this incredible ecosystem of unparalleled biodiversity. Explore and search for wild animals among huge trees and lianas, walking palms and unique mushrooms as you breathe in the purest air of all.
"A tangled forest and the feeling of hidden eyes watching us."
Experience the jungle as it transforms from day to night making way for animals specially adapted to darkness. Pay attention with your flashlight to an animal running in your path. A frog orchestra can be heard in the distance surrounded by thousands of insects. The jungle is a new and exciting place in the dark.
"Don't make fun of the cayman until you have crossed the stream."
At night enjoy a brief introduction talk about one of the river's largest reptiles, the cayman. We will begin our activity in the motor boat along the edge of the river under the moonlight in search of the spectacled cayman and the dwarf cayman and black cayman when they are resting at the edge of the water. With the help of a flashlight, the guide will walk in search of the red reflection of the alligator's eyes and with the help of our expert motorboat driver we will try to get as close as possible to see this incredible reptile on the eyes.
“Enjoy the magic of Lake Sandoval from sunrise to sunset. Feel the peace of the heart of a perfectly protected reserve. ”
We wake up at dawn to travel upstream for 45 minutes to the entrance of the Tambopata National Reserve and begin the walk through the pristine forest towards Lake Sandoval. We will paddle a boat around the mirror-like lake with the opportunity to observe a wide variety of wildlife such as the giant otter, an endangered species, howler monkeys, macaws and black caymans. We will end the day with an excursion through the forest back to the river, where we will board our motor boat and return to the Lodge for a well deserved lunch.
“Nature's most impressive, colorful and sonorous wild bird show.”
We organize your entire adventure with an overnight stay at another Lodge to visit one of the most famous clay licks in Tambopata, before or after your AP program. Various species of macaws and parrots come flying in droves to perch in the trees near the clay lick and swoop down to eat clay.
"Birds are a miracle, they show us that there is a finer, simpler state of being, which we can strive to achieve."
For bird lovers and bird watchers we are the ideal place! With three observation platforms and banding stations, Taricaya has recorded more than 500 species of birds. With the help of the Taricaya bird guide, add species to your identification list and enjoy the wonderful Amazonian birdlife.
