New Port
We boarded a boat and began our hour and a half journey along the Tambopata River, entering the buffer zone of the Tambopata National Reserve within the Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. During the trip you can appreciate the riverside flora, made up of reed beds, cecropias and ficus, and the fauna, made up of birds that live near the rivers, such as orioles and their impressive hanging nests, herons, or macaws and toucans that they cross the sky, among others. Occasionally you can also see mammals such as the capybara, or reptiles resting on the banks of the river, such as white alligators and turtles.

Reception in Inotawa. Upon our arrival, the guide will give us instructions to enjoy our stay in the best way; We will be shown the different areas of the lodge and the location of our rooms.
Once settled, we have time to settle in, rest in the room, refresh ourselves in the cafeteria or bar and walk around our facilities.
6:15 pm – Night Walk through the Private Conservation Area (ACP).
Towards the end of the afternoon we depart with our guide for a walk along the trails of the ACP, to observe the twilight and nocturnal fauna that inhabits the place. This is a good time to see it, as the diurnal animals are returning to their burrows, and the nocturnal animals begin to appear towards the clay licks and feeders. You can see species such as trogons, partridges, turkeys, and trees such as shihuahuacos, lupunas, ceibas, almendrillos, among others. At dusk, insects and arthropods will come out, such as tarantulas, grasshoppers and stick insects, as well as several species of frogs, in what will become a true tropical concert.

After dinner, our guide will give us the program and its activities.
8:30 pm exhibition of conservation projects
Thanks to your visit, Inotawa can develop several conservation projects:
- fauna monitoring with camera traps, which allows us to know the state of conservation of our protected areas, through the sighting of larger mammals. For us, it is an indicator of a healthy ecosystem
- recovery of the taricaya turtle population in the Tambopata River (REPTTA)
- reforestation of native species such as shihuahuaco, aguaje….
5:00 am – Snack (Coffee, infusions, fruits, cookies)

During the activity, the instructions given by the guide the night before must be followed.

After a rest we moved downriver for 15 minutes and began a 45-minute walk towards Tres Chimbadas Lake.
TRES CHIMBADAS LAKE AND PIRANHA FISHING
15 minutes from INOTAWA by boat + 45 minutes along the trail that crosses the ecotourism concession of the Native Community of Infierno, we find a characteristic water mirror of the Peruvian Amazon LAKE TRES CHIMBADAS.
Entering the lake we passed the control of the Infierno Community since they are the ones who guard and maintain the area thanks to the income generated from tourism.
At Tres Chimbadas Lake we board a traditional catamaran with paddle to move around the lake following the route indicated by the guide, we can see lake fauna and vegetation, birds such as shanshos, needle duck, herons, kingfishers, some reptiles and mammals, above all. the much-sought river otters, since a family of several specimens lives in the place and are frequently seen. Demonstrative fishing to observe and release piranhas is also an option.
We return to the Hostel for lunch
RANCH
Traditional agriculture is practiced in the area, a good opportunity to recognize several exotic fruits of the Amazon, such as copazú, arazá, pijuayo, yucca, pineapple, as well as spices, palillo and sacha cilantro and medicinal plants such as pine nuts, cane , piri that are commonly used by people in the community.
The crops in the farms also have open areas with papaya and banana trees that attract different types of fruit birds, such as silver beaks, orioles, orioles, toucanets, woodpeckers, etc.
4:30 pm – Bahuaja Viewpoint. A 30-minute walk away, in front of Inotawa, is a red clay ravine approximately 50 meters high. Along the way we can observe forest species such as the chestnut, the screw and the syrinx until we reach the edge of the cliff, where we can observe the mountain from another perspective. The viewpoint has large covered benches that will allow you to relax and watch the sunset over the Tambopata River in all its splendor.
Returning we have the boat ride and nocturnal fauna watching along the Tambopata River to enjoy the sounds of the jungle that invade the night. In addition, we can observe the Southern constellations, such as Scorpio, Sagittarius, the Southern Cross, etc. We carried a reflector in the boat, as it is common to find alligators, capybaras or nightjars on the banks and meanders of the river.
