   After lunch, we will visit the “Monkey Island,” located across the Madre de Dios River from our lodge. There, you will encounter various types of monkeys, such as the squirrel monkey, brown capuchin, saddleback tamarin, and white capuchin. You will have the chance to observe and even feed them.

   In the evening, we will search for caimans along the banks of the Madre de Dios River. Using a flashlight, we will spot them by the reflection of their eyes. With some luck, we might also see the capybara, the largest rodent in the world, weighing up to 60 kg, which is part of the impressive Peruvian guinea pig family.
