DAY 2
TRAILS AND ADVENTURE
Today you will head both deeper and higher into the forest, with activities along the water as well as high up in the trees to get a perspective on the Amazon from all angles.
OBSERVATION TOWER
From 120 ft above the forest floor, your Naturalist and Native guides, with the help of a sighting scope, will show you colorful birds enjoying the canopy and maybe even certain primates. After another 30-minute walk from the tower, we reach Mandi Cocha.
MANDI COCHA LAKE
This small lake has different vegetation and landscapes displaying the beauty of the flooded forest. With a little bit of luck, you might spot the famous giant otters that make their home nearby. This endangered species is difficult to find, but during this visit, there’s a chance we might see them!
GARZA COCHA LAGOON
This lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Ecuadorian Amazon. This is one of several opportunities to spot several different species of monkeys and birds. Sometimes, huge groups of squirrel monkeys join families of capuchin monkeys to look for food. Howler monkeys also like to spend the late afternoon around the lake.
The hoatzin, a large unique bird found only in pristine Amazon environments, is very easy to spot.
NIGHT WALK
All you need is a flashlight and your camera to see the rainforest come alive at night. Amphibians, insects, reptiles, birds, and nocturnal mammals may be seen wherever your guides take you.
