Activities:

Hike on terra firmae forest

This hike will lead us under the gigantic trees, for a close view of the rain forest floor to see how the lower plants compete for sunlight, among vines and epiphytes, observing the flowers and fruits that are the animals’ and birds’ nourishment.

Swimming

There are plenty of opportunities to swim in the Amazon basin’s rivers and lakes; or just go into the water to freshen up and relax.

Night excursions

Whether by paddle canoe or short walk, the feel of the tropical rainforest at night is an entirely different experience.

Short or medium-length walks

Walks are included daily in the Amazon rainforest. One of the walks will be accompanied by a native guide, who will introduce you to the secrets of the medicinal plants and their applications.

Canoe trips

This wide, whitewater river flows into the Amazon. The dense, green walls of gallery forest are broken occasionally by the small holding of the Quiches settlements as you navigate downstream. The canoe trips along the rivers are excellent opportunities for viewing parrots, macaws, herons and river turtles.

Paddle native canoes

There are many opportunities if you wish to paddle native canoes on the small black-water rivers and lakes, alone or in small groups.

Explore small rivers

You can travel by motor canoe on small rivers, observing the vegetation of their banks: huge kapok and palm trees. The surprising pink dolphins may appear at any bend of the river. This is a great place to spot toucans, parrots, eagles and many other birds.

Bird watching

Birdwatchers are offered the opportunity of early morning outings—the best time, when the birds are very active. This is an optional activity, with no extra cost.

Conference by naturalists

Each evening, the naturalist guides will discuss different topics related to the Amazon rainforest: its flora, fauna, bird life, native communities and many other subjects.
