This reserve is in the Loreto department, near the renowned Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Once you’ve settled in at the lodge, indulge in a buffet lunch crafted from healthy, organic ingredients.
Your jungle adventure kicks off by encountering the tiniest monkey, the Pygmy Marmoset, also known as the Pocket Monkey. Explore the lodge's botanical garden to discover various medicinal plant species and gain insights into composting.
We'll dine at the lodge before embarking on a thrilling nighttime boat expedition, seeking out caimans, mammals, and nocturnal birds.
