Arrival in Cusco

Visit Tres Chimbadas Lake Thirty minutes by boat and a forty-five-minute walk take us to the shores of Tres Chimbadas Lake. From here, a catamaran and a native rower will take us for a silent tour of the lake to appreciate the lake fauna at its peak activity. We will look for alligators, riverside birds, and the peculiar shanshos, and with luck, we will be able to observe the river otter family (seen by 60% of our visitors), known as the largest freshwater otters in the world. Its busiest point is from dawn until about 8 or 9 AM.

Parrot Clay Lick is only twenty minutes from the lodge. From a hiding place, you can observe at a distance of approximately twenty meters how dozens of parrots and parakeets descend on most clear days to feed on the clay of the clay lick. The clay lick is visited early in the morning, late in the morning, or in the afternoon, depending on when the greatest activity is observed.

Ethnobotanical Tour Twenty minutes downriver by boat is the Ñape Center. This center is a communal organization that produces medicines based on the medicinal plants that grow in this ethnobotanical center. It administers them to people who come here to be cured. Plants that are used for medicinal purposes, as well as for other purposes such as construction or transportation, are presented in a road system.

Night Walk We will have the opportunity to walk at night, which is the time of activity for most mammals, although it is difficult to observe. Frogs with shapes and sounds as outlandish as their natural histories are far more common.
