14:30 pm we will walk along our trail named „dry creek“ where you will see a variety of plants and learn about their many uses. They provide us with our medicines, craft and construction materials. With a little luck we will see some species of monkeys, peccaries, birds and many insects. After dinner we can relax.

Day 2. Breakfast at 7:00 am

8:00 am we will take a walk to the Cliff of the Macaws, one of the best places in Madidi National Park to watch macaws, parrots and other birds. The walk is moderately hard and on the way we will see huge trees and learn more about their uses. At the Cliff of the Macaws you can not only watch the birds but can also enjoy the breath-taking view of the Amazon Basin and its many rivers.

10:30 am we will go to the River Tuichi where we will build a log raft (traditional transport of the Amazonian Indians) and go downstream for about 2 hours until we reach the eco-lodge. However we will have the boat for security, for our backpacks and for people who do not wish to participate in this activity. We will have lunch and a rest.

14:00 pm you can either rest or choose an activity, for example, you may want to make traditional handicrafts or go fishing.
