Guided by experienced herpetologists and local experts, this immersive adventure combines thrilling night hikes, river explorations, and moments of true wilderness discovery. Each day offers something new, from hiking through pristine jungle in search of diurnal species to cooling off in forest ponds and exploring hidden waterfalls surrounded by the sounds of the Amazon.
