The journey begins at 8.30 am from Rurrenabaque, with comfortable cars in a 3-hour ride to Santa Rosa. On the way, you will be able to see many species of birds, capybaras and even sloths. Arrival at Santa Rosa’s port and after lunch, we will travel by river to the Refugio. We will appreciate the typical “sabana” landscape from Beni and other animals like monkeys, turtles, caimans, capybaras and many more! Plenty of chances to take beautiful pictures. Arrival at the lodge, enjoy a nice welcome drink and get comfortable in your room.
The day begins early since we are travelling by boat to see the sunrise from the Yacuma River. After breakfast we will do a short excursion through small woods and lagoons. With a little luck we might even see the “anaconda”! Return to the lodge. After lunch we hop on again on our boats and sail on the river looking after the famous “bufeo” or pink dolphin. If you feel like, you can even swim with them. After dinner, a short “night trip” awaits for us. We will look for nocturnal animals and of course for the shining eyes of the caimans, a very exciting experience.
In the morning we will cruise for the last time on the river looking for some animals we might have missed. After lunch, transfer back to Rurrenabaque by car. Arrival around 5pm.
