See availability →A Tambopata rainforest night walk with a boat ride on the river: spot tarantulas, frogs, spiders and caiman eyes with flashlights and a local guide.
A Tambopata rainforest night walk starts on the water. The first step is a calm boat trip along the Tambopata River in the late afternoon, with a chance of sloths in the cecropia trees. As the day fades, the stars come out and the moonlight settles on the water.
At the jungle trail the guide hands out flashlights and the walk begins, with chirping insects, rustling leaves and nocturnal birds all around. The guide points out hidden life: tarantulas coming out of their burrows, spiders glistening in the beam, lizards on the trunks, giant ants carrying leaves, colourful frogs on branches, and even glowing fungi on the forest floor.
