After breakfast, we set forth through the virgin jungle led
by the professional guide. Todays hike will take you to the

Ecosystem, refuge, and Feeding ground for the great diversity
of wildlife including the Otter, Turtles, Alligators, Tapir,
and Jaguar. There are also many birds with striking plumage
as well as an ample variety of species of fish.
This area is and distinctly particular to EcoAmazonia Reserve,
by virtue of having remained altogether unaltered, and conveniently
surrounded by lard swamps and wetlands. One of the highlights
of today’s tour is certainly the ascent to the Mirador
built atop the the greatest of treetops in the Amazon forest,
the revered Shihauhuaco from where a grand view of the great
and magical forest can be admired. This is complimented by a
pleasant canoe ride around the lake, after which we return to
