Once settled in, we will go out to visit the Cocococha Lagoon, where we will spend the afternoon exploring its surroundings and trying to spot different species of avian fauna. We will see fisher birds and exotic birds such as hoatzins, and then we will go to an observation tower of 42 meters high from where you can see monkeys and toucans.

We will conclude this first day by returning to the lodge for dinner and rest.

After lunch we will continue searching for exotic birds on the banks of the Tambopata River. We will see silver herons, eagles, hacks and macaws. At nightfall, we will continue with the activity as we will have the opportunity to see nocturnal species such as owls and hawks. Finally, we will return to the lodge for dinner and rest.
