After sunset, take your flashlights and join your guide on a nocturnal walk, to see the famous caiman alligators and other animals in their natural habit.

Then, board the vessel and arrive in the majestic Yasuni National Park, a natural paradise shared by Ecuador and Peru. Sail on a canoe through one of the most pristine and unexplored black-water systems on the Amazonian basin, with a very rich fauna that includes legendary pink dolphins, black caiman alligator and enigmatic anacondas, many species of river turtles and monkeys. This is also home to the hoatzin, a bird locally known as ‘stinking peacock,’ with a unique and exotic appearance and a very characteristic feature: the claws on its wings.

Those feeling more adventurous can opt to spend a night ‘glamping’ (not included in the regular package, please ask for conditions).

Back on the vessel, get involved in activities such as talks, documentaries and, if time allows, elaborating handicraft.

In the afternoon, explore one of the great sandbank islands, where a guide will teach you about this particular ecosystem and its biodiversity.

Visit the Limoncocha Biological Reserve, an incredible natural reserve with more than 475 birds and monkeys. This activity will last until nighttime, when the search for black caiman alligator will take place (using flashlights). After a full day interacting with nature, return to M/V Manatee Amazon Cruise.
