Exploring the incredible Herpetofauna of the Peruvian Amazon jungle

5 Days / 4 Nights
Difficulty: Average
Best season: During the months of March to December

This 5-day tour is designed for nature and wildlife lovers, especially those interested in amphibians and reptiles. The Tambopata National Reserve and its buffer zone harbor an extraordinary diversity of herpetofauna, making it an ideal destination for scientific tourism and photographic exploration.

We will begin our expedition by navigating the Amazon rivers, venturing into the jungle in search of fascinating species. During our night walks and boat trips, we may spot the majestic anaconda (Eunectes murinus), camouflaging itself among the vegetation and basking in the sun in the wetlands.

Additionally, we will explore the habitats of the four caimans of the Peruvian Amazon: the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), the white caiman (Caiman Crocodilus), the smooth-fronted caiman (Paleosuchus trigonatus), and the caiman lizard (Paleosuchus palpebrosus). Each plays a vital role in the ecosystem and offers an unmatched observation experience.

Throughout this adventure, we will also encounter vibrantly colored frogs, arboreal snakes, and Amazonian turtles, learning about their behaviors and adaptations in their natural environment.

This trip offers a unique opportunity to connect with the biodiversity of the jungle, experience unforgettable moments, and explore the fascinating world of herpetofauna in one of the world’s richest wildlife regions.

Uyuni Salt Flat 2 Days

Potosí - Bolivia

Discover one of the most surreal and fascinating landscapes on the planet: the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world. With more than 10 billion tons of salt stretching as far as the eye can see, this destination is a true natural wonder that seems straight out of a dream. Located in the Bolivian highlands, the Salar de Uyuni covers 10,582 km² of pure whiteness, a spectacle formed thousands of years ago when the ancient Lake Coipasa dried up, leaving behind this vast blanket of salt. At an impressive altitude of 3,656 meters above sea level, walking on this white sea is an experience that will make you feel like you’re on another planet. But the Salar is not just a salt desert. During the rainy season (from December to March), a thin layer of water covers the surface, turning it into the world’s largest natural mirror, where the sky and earth merge in an endless play of reflections. In the dry season, its geometric cracks and islands filled with giant cacti, like Incahuasi Island, will leave you breathless. On our tour, you’ll explore this natural phenomenon through 4×4 vehicle rides, visit the Train Graveyard, the charming Colchani artisan village, the famous Salt Hotel, and the stunning crystal-clear lagoons. You can also relax in the thermal baths and take unique perspective photos. To top it off, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable sunset in this dreamlike landscape.

Classic Inca Trail 4 days Exclusive Service

Cusco - Peru

The Classic Inca Trail is the most famous hiking route in Peru and one of the best hikes in the world. This 4-day ancestral journey takes you through stunning landscapes, cloud forests, and hidden archaeological sites until you reach Machu Picchu, the jewel of the Andes. To undertake this journey, it is mandatory to have a permit for the Inca Trail network, whether in its 2-day or 4-day version. Spaces are very limited, which makes many people book up to a year in advance. It is recommended to secure your spot 6 to 8 months ahead, especially during high season. But what makes this route so special? Unlike other pre-Hispanic trails, the Inca Trail is the only one that leads directly to Machu Picchu through the mystical Gate of the Sun (Intipunku). During the conquest era, this path was hidden, preserving its magic and authenticity. Today, this journey remains a unique connection to the history and culture of the Incas. Walking these trails means following in the footsteps of a millennial civilization, surrounded by towering mountains and archaeological remains that tell the story of the Incans. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure with spectacular landscapes and an epic arrival at Machu Picchu, the Classic Inca Trail is the best choice. Get ready to discover a journey that will be forever etched in your memory!
