From €40 per person
See availability →A Tambopata jungle night tour on foot with an expert guide, looking for tarantulas, sloths, snakes and frogs. Boots, flashlight and rain poncho are provided.
A Tambopata jungle night tour shows a side of the rainforest that daytime visitors never meet. Many animals hide from the heat and from predators during the day, and when darkness falls nocturnal species appear with completely different habits.
The walk lasts about two hours and is led by an accredited guide who knows where to look. The targets are tarantulas, sloths, spiders and snakes, along with frogs and little mammals that feed once it is dark. Luminescent insects such as fireflies add to the scene.

Far from big-city glare, the sky stays clear, so the walk can also be a pause to look up at the stars. The tour comes with hotel pickup and return, plus boots, a flashlight, a poncho and park entry, so you only need to show up. Meals, drinks and personal expenses are extra.
