You’ll start your journey to Nauta with a lunchbox to enjoy on the way.

Your naturalist guide will provide an overview of the trip, including the schedule, activities, route, highlights, wildlife, vegetation, and useful details. Additionally, you'll enjoy the documentary Rivers of the Sun in the indoor lounge.

The first activity is birdwatching, as you’ll observe their displays and listen to their songs. You’ll board the skiffs and head to the Ucayali River’s shores, where large trees and old palms attract various parrot species. Keep an eye out for red-bellied macaws, raptors, woodpeckers, and swallows, and if you’re lucky, you might hear the distinctive calls of blue and yellow macaws.

You’ll search for hoatzins nesting above the water and, with some luck, spot a three-toed sloth. The Dorado River is also home to troops of brown capuchin and squirrel monkeys. As the sun sets, you’ll look for black and white caimans, fishing bats, and Noisy Nights Monkeys, revealing a new world of adventure.

After dinner, join us for movie night in the indoor lounge.
