Starting with a walk through a secondary rainforest. you will appreciate the regeneration process of nature until you reach the primary rainforest, where you will build your camp and learn the traditional knowledges that give you comfort in a wild environment. The night safari will not disappoint you, and the sunrise among the trees will give you the necessary energy to continue the journey to the community of San Pedro de los Lagos, where you can take a well- deserved bath in the Yahuarcaca creek.
