Early in the morning, we'll board our motorboat and navigate the upper Madre de Dios River. Downstream, we'll have breakfast on the boat as we head to the Limonal control station. Here, park rangers will welcome us and provide a brief overview of Manu National Park. We'll then continue our boat journey along the Manu River, and depending on the weather, we might have the chance to observe different bird species, macaws, eagles, etc. Additionally, we might spot mammals like the jaguar (Panthera onca), capybaras, tapirs, monkeys, and reptiles such as the 4-meter black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), white caiman (Caiman crocodilus), anaconda (Eunectes murinus), and river turtles (Podocnemis unifilis). Upon reaching the port, we'll disembark to explore the jungle amidst towering trees. We'll walk along trails, observing and listening to bird sounds, mammal calls, and other jungle noises until we reach Cocha Brashco. Here, we'll navigate the lake on a catamaran to observe families of giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis). After this activity, we'll return to our boat and enjoy a typical jungle lunch while navigating. During the journey, we'll make a brief stop at the native community of Diamante to support them by purchasing crafts and typical products like fish, yucca, and papaya. We'll continue by boat until we reach our lodge. Before or after dinner, we'll take a night hike where we might encounter tarantulas, snakes, spiders, frogs, nocturnal birds, etc. Overnight stay at the lodge.
