EXPEDITION TO THE RIVER AND FOREST TAMBOPATA 9 DAYS

An Exciting expedition in the jungle, the rainforest located into one of the most remote corners of Peru, the Natural Reserve of Tambo Candamo, near the border with Brazil and Bolivia on the edge of the Amazon basin.
This trip has all the makings of an epic and unforgettable journey. Our expedition begins in the city of Juliaca, near the Titicaca Lake, considered as the highest navigable lake in the world. A vehicle will take us through the high plateau to tropical forest and at the end of the road.
We launch aboard rafts and use the river as a highway in the jungle. From this point we leave behind the last place of interest of farmers, enter to the magical and mysterious world of the rainforest.
The habitat of a diversity of plant and animal species, including 8 species of macaws, 13 species of monkeys, 530 species of birds, ocelot, jaguar, capybara, tapirs, caimans, giant river otters, and many more.
We will be floating for 6 days, running III and IV rapids.
Later, we will reach the world famous Macaw lick (see National Geographic, January 1994), where we spend the night, allowing us to see these magnificent birds at dawn.
Then we will have a motor-canoe carved from the border town of Puerto Maldonado, where we spend the night and the end of our journey.
