Wildlife Jungle Trekking

After a delicious breakfast there will be a group meditation to tune into the frequency of the Amazon – we will embark on a jungle trek to explore the local flora and unique wildlife species.  Our trained and knowledgeable guides will help us to spot the indigenous animals and teach us about the biodiversity of the rainforest of the region.

Swimming with the Pink Dolphins

Afternoon boat ride to find and swim with the mystical Botos – the rare and unique pink dolphins of the Amazon.  These special creatures are only found in this part of the world and are becoming highly endangered.  We will seek them out in the warmer tributaries of the river – and when we find them – we will have the incredible opportunity to slip into the river to swim with them!  (this is NOT a tourist gimmick as you might find in other places.  This is a respectful, honoring and natural way to experience these magical beings.  We will not interfere in any way with their natural flow!)

Along the way listen to the sounds of the forest and spot wildlife along the banks.

Dinner at the lodge.

Group Circle and optional nighttime viewing trek into the jungle.

Guided Nighttime Jungle walk.
