Time for a short rest or a swim, then around 15:30 we’ll depart in our motorized canoe for the Casa de la Abuela (Grandmother’s House). This is a traditional home where the matriarch of the community still lives. We’ll learn about how traditional chocolate is made, which we’ll serve with our dinner this evening. Time to enjoy amazing views of the sunset from this hilltop home, then we’ll return to camp for a delicious dinner.
After dinner, we can take an optional night walk along a short trail called the Tucán Trail near the camp, about an hour in duration.

After breakfast, we’ll travel by canoe to a small river named Rumiyacu and guided to a parrot clay lick. Normally many birds can be seen during the trip, and at the clay lick there are typically various colorful species of parrots we can observe.
We’ll return to the camp around noon to have lunch, and then have some time to rest and relax. Around 3 pm, we’ll kayak down the Tiputini river for a couple hours. We will stop on a river beach to make camp, while the canoe driver and cook put together the camp, you and your guides will do some fishing, looking for typical freshwater species such as pirañas and catfish. This will be prepared for your dinner.

After an early jungle breakfast, we’ll take a morning hike for about two and a half hours. This hike will be through Waorani territory, and we’ll have a local guide from the Waorani tribe with us for the hike. We’ll then continue down the Tiputini river for a few hours with a stop for lunch, and will continue to a different campsite deep in the jungle. On the way we’ll have a chance to explore some small tributaries of the Tiputini River in our kayaks as well. We should have a very good chance to see plenty wildlife during our journey. We’ll set up our camp, and then have a delicious dinner.

After an early jungle breakfast, we’ll have a chance to kayak further down the Tiputini river for about 2.5-3 hours. Around noon we will jump on the motorized to start our return to Mandaripanga camp. We will make a stop to have lunch in the canoe. After a quick rest on a river beach, we will hike back to the campsite. We’ll return to camp at 6 pm, with the chance to experience the fantastic Amazon, and we may spot other wildlife active at sunset, such as capybaras, pacas, and frogs.
