You’ll encounter giant brazil nut trees, brown capuchin monkeys, agoutis, blue-morpho butterflies, trogons, toucans and other bird species. After a delicious box lunch aboard our boat, we’ll provide an informative slideshow presentation that will introduce you to the many wonders of the rainforest.

Packing List

Things to bring

Sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen: Protect yourself from the strong sun at high altitude with these items.
