3 Days Pampas Tours with Mashaquipe - Amazon basin. Rurrenabaque is the principal gateway to the Santa Rosa Protected Park and the starting point for pampas tours. We have chosen to work with the operator Mashaquipe for these tours as they offer a high quality service and have been awarded the "Green Action" eco tourism certification. This tour consistently gets very good reports from our customers and is our most highly recommended option for the pampas tours.Includes accomodation in private room with private bathroom in eco lodges and english speaking guide.
DAY 1
After meeting in the office we will set off on a jeep ride for approximately 3 hours until we reach the river and shortly after the "Monkey Lodge" where we will take lunch. After a a chnce to relax we will set off on an afternoon trip to spot caiman, birds, turtles, different kinds of monkeys and some pink river dolphins. Before the sun sets we return to the lodge where we will have dinner that evening. After dinner we can go and search for noctural animals using a motorless boat
DAY 2
We awake early to the sounds of the amazon and take breakfast in the lodge before setting out on an easy hike to search for anaconas and other snakes - whilst some kind of snake is usually found it is a mixture of luck and your guides skill that will determine if you see an anaconda as these creatures move regulary.After lunch we again take to the boat and go searching for more animals plus will have a chance to swim with the dolphins in a lagoon.
DAY 3
Today we will wake early to watch sunrise from the boat and listen to the rain forest awakening before taking another swim with the dolphins or trying your hand at piranha fishing until lunch time. After lunch in the lodge we set off on the journey back to Rurrenabaque
