Venture deep into the Peruvian Amazon after dusk with a specialist naturalist to spot black caimans, tarantulas, and tree frogs by torchlight. One of the most thrilling wildlife encounters on the planet.
What to expect
Board a silent motor skiff at dusk as the river turns amber. Your expert naturalist reads the forest like a text — pointing out poison dart frogs, giant river otters, and the tell-tale red eyes of black caimans reflecting your torch. Step onto a private jungle trail to encounter tarantulas and giant walking sticks in their element. Return to the lodge for a nightcap of local cacao while howler monkeys serenade the canopy.
Good to know
Departures are timed to dusk — confirm logistics with your lodge and check your all-aboard schedule. Long sleeves, insect repellent, and waterproof shoes are essential. This experience is not recommended for guests with mobility limitations.
