We start our day by listening to the Red Howler Monkey’s calls, waking us up for the day. We will eat breakfast at our lodge. Ready? We will begin to walk into the deep forest’s trails.

We arrive at Apu Victor Lake, which is surrounded by palm trees, water lilies and grass on the shores.

This place has an Amazonian lookout (a large canopy tower) from which we will enjoy a panoramic view over the lake, observing parrots, macaws, toucans, camungos, hoatzins, herons, and other animals such as caimans, turtles, etc. Additionally, there are other species of fauna associated with the lake, such as the Yellow-footed Tortoise, Mata Mata Turtle, Twist-neck Turtle, anhinga, squirrel, Red Brocket Deer, agouti, and otters of the Amazon jungle.
