Upon arrival at the lodge, and enjoying an exquisite –and typical- welcome drink, you will settle in our comfortable bungalows. Lunch ensues shortly. Afterwards, in the company and assistance of our specialized guide, we will visit the Monkey Island, located only five minutes from the lodge. In the middle of the Madre de Dios river, the Monkey Island hosts an great variety of specimens of monkeys: these range from the noisy ones such as the Maquisapas
Turtle en Tambopata(Spider Monkey), the happy Achuñi (Nasua nasua), the very impressive Fraile (Squirrel Monkey) to the very little and funny Leoncito “little lion”. The rip to the island affords very beautiful sightseeing of the local landscape as well as the flora and fauna that they host. And to top it all off, there is that breathtaking and sublime jungle sunset. Then we will return to the lodge and enjoy a delicious dinner. Overnight.
