Immersion in the Tacana Culture and Journey to the Heart of Madidi Your adventure begins with a warm welcome! After breakfast (not included), we will pick you up from your hotel in Rurrenabaque or the airport (if you arrive before 10:30 am). From there, we’ll embark on a motorized boat ride along the stunning Beni River, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Our first stop is the Tacana Indigenous Community of San Miguel de Bala, where you’ll dive into their fascinating culture. Experience traditional weaving techniques using forest materials and try your hand at extracting sugarcane juice with an ancestral mill known as a “trapiche.”

After a delicious lunch, we’ll explore the Bala Canyon, a spectacular rock formation with a natural pool featuring crystal-clear waters and a refreshing waterfall. Following this, we’ll continue our journey, navigating the Beni and Tuichi Rivers for approximately four hours to reach our hidden gem: Corazón del Madidi Lodge, nestled deep within the most biodiverse national park in the world. Here, you’ll find private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort amidst the wilderness. After dinner, you can choose to relax or join optional nocturnal activities to experience the jungle’s vibrant nightlife.

Exploring the Wild Wonders of Madidi Awake to the soothing sounds of the jungle and enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting out on a day of discovery. Our expert guide will lead you through interpretative trails, unveiling the secrets of Madidi’s rich flora and fauna. With small group sizes (maximum of 5 people), you’ll have an intimate and immersive experience, spotting monkeys, wild pigs, exotic birds, and perhaps even reptiles in their natural habitat.

After a satisfying lunch, you can choose to relax or continue exploring additional trails. The jungle’s diversity will leave you in awe as you uncover its hidden treasures. In the evening, after dinner, prepare for an exhilarating night walk where you might encounter nocturnal creatures like armadillos, tapirs, and deer. This is an unforgettable opportunity to connect with nature under the starlit canopy.

A Choice of Adventure and Farewell to the Jungle Begin your final day with an early breakfast and choose your preferred activity:

2. Macaws at Parabal Cliff: Embark on a boat ride along the Tuichi River to the Parabal Cliff, a unique nesting site for vibrant red-and-blue macaws. After observing these magnificent birds, savour a traditional lunch at this special location. We’ll then continue navigating back to Rurrenabaque, arriving around 4:30 pm.
