A Deep Dive into the Jungle Experience

Starting with the Journey:
The adventure begins with a transfer from your Cusco area accommodation or airport, followed by a full river cruise along the Tambopata River. This part of the trip is one of our favorites. Not only is it a relaxing way to get into the jungle, but it also offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. During the ride, guides point out capybaras, caymans, various bird species, and other surprises — all while enjoying the scenic views of lush riverside landscapes.

A key highlight is the view at Finca Sachavacayoc, which is considered one of the most well-located lodges in the region. The lodge’s design maximizes natural light and air, with large cabins that feel spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The fact that they have hot water, electricity 24 hours, and fast Wi-Fi in common areas is a real treat for those wanting a bit of modern comfort in the jungle.

Exploring the Jungle:
Once at the lodge, the adventure continues with night walks and daytime explorations. Guides emphasize a focus on flora and fauna, teaching guests how to spot signs of animal activity and identify jungle plants. You might see capybaras lounging in the river, listen to the calls of toucans, or catch glimpses of monkeys swinging through treetops.

Visiting the Macaws Clay Lick:
On the second day, the tour takes you to the Chuncho Macaws Clay Lick — the largest in the world. Watching hundreds of macaws and parrots gather at this mineral-rich spot is truly a jaw-dropping sight. The timing is set so that you experience the activity in its fullness, typically in the early morning, which is when these birds flock to feed.

The guides are adept at explaining the significance of this natural event, and many travelers find it a highlight of their Peru visit. As one reviewer put it, “Seeing the macaws in such numbers was surreal. You’re right there with nature’s grand spectacle.”

Lake Exploration and Wildlife Encounters:
In the afternoon, you’ll visit a pristine jungle lake, searching for animals like anacondas, giant otters, and toucans. The boat rides are tranquil and offer excellent vantage points for birdwatching and wildlife spotting. The optional piranha fishing is an added bonus for those interested in trying their luck with the local fish.

Night walks continue to reveal the jungle’s nocturnal life — caymans lurking in the water, owls hooting, and other night creatures. The guides’ knowledge creates a rich narrative that enhances each sighting.

The Deep Lake and Wildlife:
Day three features a two-hour trip to Sachavacayoc Lake, a true wilderness gem. We loved the way this activity felt like stepping into an untouched part of the jungle. It’s a lengthy but rewarding exploration where you might glimpse tapirs, spider monkeys, or even elusive giant otters.

In the evening, you can join a night walk for caymans or listen to the sounds of the forest, feeling the raw energy of the wild. The whole experience is about finding connection with nature’s quieter moments.

Final Morning and Return:
The last day involves a relaxed breakfast followed by a two-hour boat trip back down the river, with one last chance to spot wildlife along the banks. It’s a gentle, scenic end to a memorable journey.
