Day 2: Day 2: Activities in the Amazon Jungle (B/L/D)
Stop At: Amazon Rainforest, Peru
Have an early breakfast to charge your batteries for your Leoncito Hike, where you appreciate the immense variety of flora around the lodge. On this walk you can taste the water that Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) has within its vines - some say it can cure cancer and AIDS. You'll also be amazed at how huge the ceiba tree is. In addition, you will see the world's smallest monkey, the pigmy marmoset, and the squirrel and tamarin monkeys. If you're lucky, you'll see the howler monkey, whose deafening roar can be heard many miles away. Enjoy a lunch buffet at the lodge. Take a boat trip to the lakes Purura and Corrientes and catch different kind of fish, including the famous piranha (being more difficult in March, April and May). This is an area that has many strangler vines, being the favorite spot of the bird "hoatzin" or shansho. This colorful bird looks like a prehistoric bird because it has three claws on the middle joint of the wing. Return to the lodge for a dinner buffet.
At night, you do a night walk in search of huge frogs, anaconda´s favorite food. In addition to seeing tarantulas, it is worth clarifying that despite the bad reputation, they are not dangerous to humans.

Day 3: Day 3: Activities in the Amazon Jungle (B/L/D)

Reach the black waters creek (between the rivers Tahuayo-Yanayacu). Here lunch will be served outdoors and you can enjoy the pure and virgin Amazon jungle site where we guarantee you'll see countless species of animals. Share the late afternoon with the friendly people of the jungle, in the village San Juan de Yanayacu. The visit is very spontaneous; travellers sometimes play soccer with them or just walk around the village. You can buy handicrafts that they make themselves based on seeds and vegetable ivory. Return to the lodge for a dinner buffet. On your last night, take a night canoe trip, to feel the sounds and animals of the jungle more closely.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Muyana Lodge goes above and beyond to ensure that you have the ultimate jungle experience whilst truly pampering you to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The itinerary is so varied and allows you to experience many different areas of the jungle. If you are lucky enough to have Donaldo as your guide you are in for a treat. He is so talented and made up a large portion of why this trip was so good for us! Could not recommend this excursion more, it is worth every single penny.
Absolutely unbelievable, My wife and I had an incredible time, everything about this tour was perfect, from the food, the day and night treks, playing soccer against a local village. To most importantly our amazing guide, Donaldho, who has a contagious passion for the jungle and his work and made us feel safe and intrigued the whole time we were with him. I would 100 recommend the tour to anyone. Truly a lifetime experience!!
