It's not every day you get woken up by rowdy howler monkeys
Amazon highlights
Stay in an Amazon eco lodge
After a big day exploring the Amazon, what could be better than kicking back in a cosy lodge lit by kerosene lamps? Located in the heart of the action with decks that back onto the jungle, hammocks to lounge in and an ever-present soundtrack of weird and wonderful wildlife, this is as close as it gets to Mother Nature – without giving up a shower or bed.
Go on a twilight hike
Grab your head torch, slather on the bug spray, and set off on a jungle walk after dark. As night falls, the Amazon comes alive with a chorus of high-pitched insects, the rattle of reptiles and the rustling of nocturnal mammals on the hunt. With a bit of luck, you might spot an anaconda or the glowing eyes of a jaguar.
Explore the waterways
Hop in a motorised boat and cruise the calm waters of Lake Sandoval, an oxbow lake home to heaps of wildlife – including a resident family of giant river otters and countless bird species. After, swing by a parrot clay lick where hundreds of macaws and parakeets gather to get their daily mineral fix.
Visit a medicine garden
If you know where to look, the Amazon is full of food and natural remedies! Join a local guide on a walk through a medicine garden and discover some of the plants and healing techniques Indigenous people have been using for thousands of years.
