ITINERARY
DAY 1
TAMBOPATA RIVER
Our adventure in the jungle begins by taking the boat heading to Ñape Lodge. We will navigate the Tambopata River for 30 minutes and become familiar with the landscapes that the Amazon rainforest has to show us. Tambopata is the main river in the Madre de Dios region and runs through the Tambopata National Reserve. All along this river is located the native community Ese Eja de Infierno who are the owners of Ñape Lodge. Tambopata is known for its lakes and clay licks, for its biodiversity and for being home to felines such as the jaguar and puma, birds such as parrots and macaws, the rodent capybara, amphibians and a diversity of reptiles. The Tambopata River is a meeting place and a source of life for the species that inhabit this ecosystem.
LUNCH
CANOPY TOWER
We will hike through the rainforest for about 30 minutes among the trails that surround our lodge until we reach the Canopy Tower. This tower has a height of 37m and will lead us to the top of the trees to admire the forest from the perspective of the birds and monkeys that inhabit it. From the top you get spectacular views of the vast extensions of the standing forest, cut by the Tambopata River that serpentines through the middle. With some luck we will see toucans, parrots or macaws flying against the horizon, or flocks of mixed species perching high above.
NIGHT WALK
It is said that in the jungle, night is the end of the day for many species, but it is the beginning of the day for many others. We will have the opportunity to experience an exciting night walk, where we will be able to observe a great diversity of insects, moths, amphibians and reptiles. It is time to turn on our flashlights and pay attention to our senses because in the jungle, everything is alive.

DAY 2
DESAYUNO
COMUNIDAD NATIVA DE INFIERNO
Hoy tomaremos la mañana para hacer un recorrido por la Comunidad Nativa Ese Eja de Infierno. Empezaremos por reunirnos con dirigentes de la comunidad para conocer parte de su historia, estilo de vida, actividades productivas y compartir ideas.
ALMUERZO
APRENDER SOBRE LAS TÉCNICAS DE CASERÍA (TIRO CON ARCO Y FLECHA)
Por la tarde nos dirigimos a la Cabaña del Cazador. Nuestro guía nos explicará y enseñará algunas técnicas de cacería tradicional practicadas por los nativos Ese Eja. Utilizando el arco y una variedad de flechas, cada una diseñada para diferentes fines (animales grandes, pequeños y peces), conoceremos el cuidado e importancia de cada detalle al momento de elaborar y utilizar estas herramientas. Al final, realizaremos un ameno pero seguro ensayo de tiros con arco y flecha hacia un bull y probaremos puntería.
EL JARDÍN ETNOBOTÁNICO
El jardín Etnobotánico de Ñape es una organización comunal responsable de mantener vivo y difundir el conocimiento ancestral sobre el poder de las plantas y sus efectos curativos. Aquí se producen medicinas naturales a partir de las plantas del bosque.
Realizaremos una caminata por un sendero en donde podremos encontrar algunas de las plantas más importantes como la chacruna y el ayahuasca en su hábitat natural y podremos probar una medicina natural elaborada con la corteza y las hojas de los árboles maceradas en alcohol de caña de azúcar. Conoceremos la historia del Jardín Ñape y de los curanderos, y chamanes responsables de su mantenimiento.
