This reserve is situated in the Loreto department, close to the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. After settling in at the lodge, you'll savor a buffet lunch featuring healthy and organic ingredients.
Your jungle adventure kicks off by meeting the smallest monkey, the Pygmy Marmoset, also known as the Pocket Monkey. We will stroll through the lodge's botanical garden to admire various medicinal plant species and discover the process of composting.
In the evening, we'll dine at the lodge before embarking on an exciting nocturnal boat excursion to spot caimans, mammals, and birds of the night.

After a hearty breakfast, we begin a boat exploration on the Amazon River, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. We will also look for pink and gray dolphins, which are frequently seen in the area.
During the excursion, we will take you to see the world's largest aquatic plant, the Victoria Regia, and observe majestic iguanas in their natural habitat. At noon, we return to the lodge for a buffet featuring local and international dishes.
In the afternoon, we'll engage in piranha fishing with handcrafted rods, an activity that everyone will enjoy. We will witness the stunning sunset over Sapote Lagoon.
