RESERVA AMAZONICA
The sunlight squeezes through the dense trees as jungle inhabitants awake from their slumber. Optionally join them in the early hours, with buffet breakfast served from 05:30. Visit Lake Sandoval this morning, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve, reached via a sun-dappled rainforest trail. Board a dug-out wooden canoe to quietly paddle through a stream and glide onto Lake Sandoval, anked by picture-perfect palms. This serene lake is home to many species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, black caimans amongst others. Return to Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we recommend climbing the exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy Walkway. The Canopy Walkway is a sophisticated and safe 344 metre (1,135 feet) network of seven ecologically constructed hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest oor. This is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain a sense of its size. Ascend the rst vertiginous tower 38 metres (124 feet) above ground, keeping an eye out for bright toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, monkeys and the three-toed sloth. It’s possible to extend your elevated stay with sunset drinks from atop a tower, – or spend a once-in-a-lifetime night in a specially designed treehouse cabin with surprising comforts (additional cost applies). After descending, enjoy a 30-minute Anaconda Walk that follows a 200-meter (656 feet) raised wooden platform over a ooded aguajales swamp. In this lush ecosystem you may observe various species of amphibians, birds, mammals, abundant ora and interesting trees. Back at the lodge, you can opt to enjoy a daily nature presentation in the Eco Centre or book yourself an indulgent spa treatment. À-la-carte dinner is served from 19:00.

CORTO MALTES
Today we will visit one of the most beautiful lakes in the Tambopata National Reserve: Lake Sandoval. We will depart at sunrise, for a 20-minute boat ride along the Madre de Dios River and then take a 3 km walk through the lush vegetation of the tropical jungle. The tour will allow us to admire gigantic trees and we will be on the lookout for encounters with other fascinating species of flora and fauna. Once we arrive at Lake Sandoval, aboard small rowboats, we will set off in search of giant otters, charming mammals that are in danger of extinction. We may also see species of reptiles, monkeys, such as cotomonkeys or capuchins, and characteristic birds such as the “shansho” and kingfishers in their natural habitat. Our guide will find the perfect spot on the lake, and we will enjoy breakfast while observing the impressive environment that surrounds us. Back on dry land we will go to an observation tower, designed for observing birds and other species from the heights of the forest canopy. We will also visit a chestnut camp, another of the most important economic activities in the area.
