Sunset & Caiman Spotting – Evening River Navigation

Tour Description

We will navigate the Madre de Dios and Tambopata rivers in a motorboat with a roof, accompanied by a local guide. With great patience, your guide will help you spot animals along the riverbanks, such as turtles, birds, and sloths.

As sunset approaches, you will enjoy an incredible view – perfect for taking photos and videos while surrounded by beautiful Amazon landscapes.

At nightfall, we will use powerful headlamps to scan the riverbanks. With luck, we will find incredible capybaras (the world’s largest rodents) and river caimans (white and black species). Our boat is fully equipped with all necessary night navigation equipment for a safe and exciting experience.
