Canopy Tower
A thirty minute walk from Refugio Amazonas leads to the 25 meter scaffolding canopy
tower. A bannistered staircase running through the middle provides safe access to the
platforms above. The tower has been built upon high ground, therefore increasing
your horizon of the continuous primary forest extending out towards the Tambopata
National Reserve. From here views of mixed species canopy flocks as well as toucans,
macaws and raptors are likely.
Breakfast
Transfer Boat - Refugio Amazonas to TRC
Four and half hours by boat from Refugio Amazonas, in the pristine heart of the
reserve, lies the Tambopata Research Center. One and half hours into our boat
journey, as we cross the confluence with the Malinowski River, we will leave the final
traces of human habitation behind. Within the 700,000 hectare uninhabited nucleus of
the reserve, sightings of capybara, caiman, geese, macaws and other large species
will become more frequent.

Rainforest by night
Walking through the rainforest at night challenges all your senses. In deep darkness,
surrounded by an array of jungle sounds and with the aid of your guide's powerful
spotlight, you enter a world inhabited by the most unique, diverse and shy night
creatures. If fortunate, you will be able to find poison dart frogs, night monkeys,
tarantulas, amphibians and insects with the most unique adaptations to life under the
