As we hear the forest waking up in the early hours, we realize the spectacle found in the dawn of the day in the jungle. Unique sounds form the nature symphony. Slowly, the voice of the forest reaches its full potential and becomes a joined mixture of sounds: frogs, monkeys, birds, crickets, and the shaking of the great trees big leaves become our soundtrack. It is time to get up and enjoy a typical Amazon breakfast, a simply set table adorned with colors and flavors brought from the land, promoting a true gastronomic experience. Right after breakfast, jungle hike and appreciation of the Amazon fauna and flora.Returning from the hiking trail, back to camp for a delicious Amazonian lunch.

During the canoe trip, you can also enjoy an artisanal fishing experience, with a brief stop to practice the skills of the fishing adventurers with a rod and hook fishing experience, a Riverside traditional way of fishing their daily meals by the river shore.
The return to the lodge will take place at nightfall, providing an opportunity to observe the sunset time, the flight of birds returning to their nests, and even to contemplate nocturnal animals such as alligators and owls, which begin to appear along the riverbanks, in the branches of trees, and the floating forest along the way.
This is the moment to turn off the canoe engines and listen only to the nocturnal forest awakening - embrace yourselves to taste the flavors unique to the Amazon while the darkness quiets the sounds of monkeys, birds, and cicadas to be replaced by amphibians and crickets. It is a sign that, under the night veil, several creatures venture outside their hiding spots. Moths, mantis, and other animals start showing up – under the flashlight focus or lured by the few sources of light in the jungle. After this enriching experience, it is time to return to Amazon Camp Lodge and have a delicious dinner.
