Activities in the Amazon Jungle (
Go on the Leoncito Hike, where you appreciate the immense variety of flora around the lodge. On this walk, you can taste the water that Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) has within its vines - some say it can cure cancer and AIDS. You'll also be amazed at how huge the ceiba tree is.
In addition, you will see the world's smallest monkey, the pigmy marmoset, and the squirrel and tamarin monkeys. If you're lucky, you'll see the howler monkey, whose deafening roar can be heard many miles away. After watching a sunset over the forest of mirrors, head back to the lodge for dinner.
In the evening, take a boat ride to see caimans, nocturnal birds and mammals.

Activities in the Amazon Jungle
Enjoy breakfast and then cruise the Amazon River, where you will experience the most magical moment of your trip, which is to swim in the same river where the pink and grey dolphins live. You can see them, but don't expect to touch. On the way back to the lodge, you will see the biggest aquatic plant in the world, the famous Victoria Regia. It is also easy to see iguanas.
Enjoy lunch at the lodge before going on a boat trip to the lakes Purura and Corrientes to catch different kinds of fish, including the famous piranha (being more difficult in March, April and May). After lunch, spot wild animals before going on a night walk in search of huge frogs, anaconda's favourite food. In addition to seeing tarantulas, it is worth clarifying that despite their bad reputation, they are not dangerous to humans.
