A second zip line leads you back to the starting point before descending to the lodge for a delicious lunch.
Afternoon Adventures:
Kayak along the tranquil Madre de Dios River to Monkey Island, where capuchins, tamarins, and squirrel monkeys interact playfully, even accepting food from your hands.

Arriving at Lake Sandoval, explore its tranquil waters by canoe. Spot playful giant river otters, turtles, and various bird species. This serene setting immerses you in the rainforest's beauty. After a fulfilling day, return to the lodge for dinner and a peaceful night’s rest.
DAY 3: Native Family Visit and Rustic Fishing
The day begins with a boat ride to the Ese’Eja Native Community, where you'll connect with families preserving their ancestral traditions. Learn about their language, dances, and customs, gaining insight into their harmonious relationship with the rainforest.
After lunch, try your hand at rustic fishing on the Madre de Dios River. Attempt to catch native species like catfish or the elusive red-eye piranha. Relax in the serene river setting before returning to the lodge for dinner and a restful evening.
