Remote Amazon (5 days)

5 days - from $1015

A remote jungle wildlife experience deep in the pristine rainforests of Peru and Bolivia

Leaving civilization behind we venture deep into the Amazon Jungle by boat, travelling up the Tambopata to the Heath River on the Bolivian Border. Amidst the dense jungle canopy we have the opportunity to spot all manner of monkeys leaping boisterously from branch to branch, hiding in the foliage beneath are tapir, capybara and jaguar. Giant blue morpho butterflies flutter by and bright green frogs sit on rocks at our feet. We visit the macaw clay lick, where from our floating blind we often see majestic macaws eating the clay, red and green, scarlet or sometimes yellow and blue macaws arrive along with many varieties of parrots with vibrant colours on their wings. From the Bolivian Jungle we cross back into Peru and walk through the jungle, looking for sloths and howler monkeys before taking to canoes. Paddling under the jungle canopy, the stunning surrounds of Sandoval Lake open up before of us. The late afternoon brings the lake to life with giant otters, spider monkeys and a unique and diverse array of birdlife.
