Tambopata Jungle Safari with Capybara Night Search
From €58 per person
See availability →A Tambopata jungle safari by boat from Puerto Maldonado, from the afternoon into the night: river birds, turtles, sunset, then flashlights to find capybaras and caimans.
This Tambopata jungle safari follows the river from afternoon light into darkness, so you see the wildlife change as the day ends. A guide collects you from your hotel in the afternoon and you spend about three and a half hours on the water.
The first part is a boat ride for photos and animal spotting. Tropical birds perch along the shores, turtles may be visible, and the jungle sunset gives the river a different look. When night falls, flashlights come out and the search turns to capybaras, the biggest rodents on the planet, and, with some luck, caimans on the Tambopata River.
The outing ends with the return to the city in the evening. It suits people who want wildlife, landscape and a few photographs without giving up a whole day or sleeping in a lodge.
