After lunch, visit a local indigenous family and learn about their culture and way of life.
Day 4:
Start your last day fairly early and head to the clay lick to see parakeets, parrots, and 2 species of small macaws. On the way back, look for sloths. After breakfast, your guide will take you to the perfect spot for bird watching and take you sport fishing for piranhas.
