If you opt for the morning tour, prepare to witness animals awakening and beginning their day. Watch spirited howler monkeys nibble on tender leaves, northern jacana waterfowl perched atop water hyacinth islands searching for insects and miniature shrimp, and caiman patiently waiting for their next meal along the riverbanks. Your naturalist guide will be on hand to help you identify and learn about these fascinating creatures.
In the afternoon or evening, the jungle comes alive with a different set of inhabitants. Observe egrets and tiger herons moving towards their nests, and white-faced capuchin monkeys leaping through the branches. As the afternoon light begins to fade, the sounds of the forest crescendo before suddenly becoming quiet, creating a magical atmosphere within the rainforest.

Glide through remote backwater creeks, lagoons, and riverbanks teeming with abundant wildlife, guided by your knowledgeable naturalist.
