After getting the best introduction to Tambopata, we embark on a boat ride into the jungle to see caimans. Their glowing red eyes are captivating. Around sunset we will return to the lodge.
We will wake up very early to go to see the palm lick, this is a special place within the reserve where different species of macaws and parrots gather to eat the dried palm trees that are rich in mineral salts such as calcium, sodium, potassium, etc.. This is very important for the digestion of these birds. Afterwards we will return to the lodge for breakfast.

Then we will return to the lodge for lunch.

Then return to the lodge for dinner. After dinner we will tell stories and legends of the jungle, then we will go to our rooms for the night.

At Travel Peru Agency, your satisfaction comes first. The reviews on TripAdvisor reflect the trust of those who have explored Peru with us and lived authentic, safe, and memorable experiences. Each journey inspires us to keep sharing the best of this incredible destination.
The entire trip was organized down to the smallest detail, always with extraordinary care to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible, without us having to worry about anything. At the end of each tour, they always made sure to check how the experience had gone and provide us with all the necessary information for the next tour, which showed constant professionalism and attention to detail.
I highly recommend this agency without any hesitation, and if I ever return to Peru, I would do everything exactly the same way.
I would especially like to thank Alfredo, the person in charge of the agency, for giving us such special memories on this unforgettable trip. I would also like to thank our private guides — Leo, Vilma, Lenyn, and Moisés — for all their patience, kindness, and the incredible knowledge they shared with us about the history and culture of Peru.
All that remains for me to say is:
