Learn about this mammal inland collpa activity and the difference between collpas according to their location. Look for footprints and traces of animal activity on the clay lick salted walls, such as agoutis, monkeys, and peccaries among others.

  • Palmetum - Explore a 30Ha permanent-plot area for rainforest restoration and conservation, where Inkaterra Asociación has registered up to 19 native palm species. Learn about the rainforest’s survival mechanisms including natural seed dispersion, as well as the characteristics and cultural meaning of trees within the Palmetum, such as the yarina (vegetable ivory) or the walking palm, which moves its roots in search of sunlight.
Half Day Excursions:
  • Gamitana Farm - Navigate towards Gamitana Creek and walk through the Model Farm.

  • Cacao - Visit the cacao plantation at Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción and take part of the chocolate making process. Learn how to select the fresh cacao fruits and discover how the seeds are fermented and sundried. After peeling the toasted cacao seeds and grinding them into an aromatic paste, end the excursion with a selection of treats made from our organic chocolate.
  • Brazil Nut - Take a walk within the hotel grounds to a small hut where our Explorer Guides will teach you about the importance of the Brazil Nut Tree in the local economy of Madre de Dios. Learn how the Brazil nut is collected using traditional tools and techniques, to finally enjoy a fresh Brazil nut.
  • Cocha - Take a rowing canoe ride on the Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción oxbow shaped lake. Enjoy the scenery, observing hoatzins (Opisthocomus hoazin), a diversity of fly catchers, and graynecked woodrails (Aramides cajanea). Appreciate the remains of the renowned Fitzcarrald steam boat. Learn about its history and how it inspired Inkaterra to ask Werner Herzog to film the award-winning “Fitzcarraldo” (Best Director at Cannes, 1982).

After your descent from the Canopy, experience the Anaconda Walk for about 15 minutes along the 200-meter wooden bridge over the wetland. In this lush ecosystem, you may observe the various species of amphibians, birds, mammals and abundant flora and trees of this seasonal flooded marshland.
  • Lake Sandoval - Walk into the Tambopata National Reserve through terra firma forest, towards Lake Sandoval. Then navigate by rowing canoe around this beautiful oxbow lake.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
