About This Trip

A real overnight taste of the rainforest. Over two days you hike primary jungle, paddle quiet tributaries by canoe, scan the river for pink dolphins and try your hand at piranha fishing.

Staying the night means you catch the forest at its busiest hours: a sunrise birding outing and a guided nocturnal walk to look for caimans, frogs and other nighttime wildlife.

All meals, a night at our eco-lodge, river transport and a bilingual guide are included.

Easy — a relaxed pace, comfortable for all ages and fitness levels.

Moderate — longer days with more time on jungle trails and the water, which asks a little more of your body.
