Arrive at Amazon Planet and settle into your private bungalow.
Shortly after arrival lunch will be served in the restaurant to all guests on early flight arrivals.
Enjoy a short rest before meeting with your guide for an introduction talk, an introduction walk around the lodge and inside the rainforest, winding past giant Kapok trees, walking palms and tropical plants while being captivated by the sounds of nature within the forest.

Return to your private bungalow for a rest.

Day 2: Amazon lodge adventure

Day 2: Amazon lodge adventure

Begin your morning with breakfast, served between 7 and 8am, before journeying into the rainforest to commence the day’s activities.

Walking amongst the giants of the forest, 300 year old trees towering above the jungle as you make your way to the first of two platforms.

The avatar platform is located 25 meters up in an ancient fig tree set above a mammal colpa that is a food source for many different types of animals all year round. Cross the suspension bridge to the platform and taken in the magnificent sounds that surround this fascinating area.

Continue down and along the winding trails deeper in the jungle while keeping an observant eye out for wildlife as you make your way to the second  canopy  platform.

Cross a 90 meter suspension bridge before arriving to the highest tree platform in south America! Located 45 meters up in the crown of a kapoc tree.  The 360 degree view from this platform is truly unforgettable!  Try to spot the Tucans,  Macaws and if your lucky the majestic Harpy eagle.

Continue down the trails until arriving at the Taricaya rescue centre (this is not a zoo).  These animals are in the process of rehabilitation before being released back into the wild.  Some of the animals that have temporarily called the rescue center home include Jaguars, Pumas, bears, wild dogs (the only one in captivity in the world) almost every feline and monkey specie that exist in these parts have passed through these enclosures at one point before being released back into their natural surroundings in better health.

Approx time 4 hours

Return to the lodge for lunch and a rest before continuing on with the afternoon activities.
