Third Day: Yucama River - Santa Rosa Yacuma - Rurrenabaque:
Day One: Rurrenabaque - Santa Rosa Yacuma:
Departure at 10:00 am from the meeting point. Transportation will pick us up for approximately 2 hours. Along the way, we'll make several unexpected stops to observe wildlife along the way. As midday approaches, we'll enjoy lunch. A few minutes later, we'll arrive at the port of Santa Rosa de Yacuma. We'll transfer to the boat where the adventure begins, observing animals in their habitat. Some lizards, capybaras, and birds will greet us on this journey to the lodge. We'll settle in and have free time before sunset. We must go out to the lookout point and enjoy the sunset.
At night, we'll take a boat tour with lanterns to observe lizards and caimans, where their eyes will glow. If we're lucky, the guide might catch a small lizard and show it to us.
Day Two, Yucama River:
Early departure around 5:30 a.m. to travel by boat and enjoy the sunrise at the viewpoint. We will then return to the lodge for breakfast. The guide will give us time to pack our backpacks. Bring what you need, as we will be doing the Anaconda Hike. This is a swampy plain where snakes and boas live. The weather will depend greatly on the conditions when you are there, as these species may not be seen. If we are lucky enough to find one, the guide will explain the details. Those who like it can have the experience of holding them, taking the necessary precautions, perfect for souvenir photos.
At midday, we will return to the lodge to recharge our batteries.
In the afternoon, we will return to the boat and navigate the Yucama River. The activity will be fishing, looking for piranhas. Each member of the group will have a homemade fishing rod. This will be a different experience, as the river is full of life and you will immediately find many varieties of fish. I recommend being patient until you find the piranhas. Sometimes they eat the bait and leave. Ask the guide for advice. As the sun begins to set, we will relax at the lookout point. There is a small shop with options to buy something refreshing (purchases not included).
