Remote Amazon
Leaving civilization behind we venture deep into the Amazon Jungle. Travelling by boat along the Tambopata and Heath Rivers we cross the Bolivian border to the Heath River Lodge. 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 other varieties of parrots, all vibrantly coloured. From the Bolivian jungle we cross back into Peru and make our way along the river to the Sandoval Lake. Here we walk through the jungle in search of sloth and howler monkeys before taking to canoes. Paddling under the jungle canopy, the stunning surrounds of Sandoval Lake open up before us. The late afternoon brings the lake to life with giant otters, spider monkeys and a unique and diverse array of birdlife. Our final night is spent at the Sandoval Lake Lodge before returning to Puerto Maldonado.
