Kayak through the Amazon rainforest
What's more exciting than seeing with your own eyes the green lung of the Earth? The Amazon Basin is long known for its intense biodiversity and riotous rainforest wilderness. Its vastness and impenetrability have long protected its indigenous communities and diverse wildlife from external eyes. Tribes exist here that have never had contact with outside civilization, and more flora and fauna flourish in one rainforest hectare than in any European country.
Taking a kayak tour through the Amazon rainforest, you will be able to see a stunning variety of tropical wildlife that nowhere else in the world has. The kayak tour will take you through the well-preserved national park here, and at Cocha Salvador, one of the park's largest and most beautiful lakes, you'll find camping and guided hiking possibilities, as well as wonderful wildlife viewing. During the tour, you can see scores of different bird species, several kinds of monkeys, and a few other mammals on both sides of the river. If you are lucky, you can even see local residents that live secretly in the jungles.
If you're thinking about taking the kayak tour, remember that there are more opportunities to kayak down minor rivers during the high water season (December to May), whereas hiking through the jungle is best during the low water season (June to November).
