This trip is a great add-on to a Peru trip! Travelers will enjoy a three-day getaway to the gorgeous and diverse Amazon rainforest. Start this trip with an hour-long boat ride to the Refugio Amazonas eco-hostel for the night, located in a chestnut forest near the Tambopata National Reserve. The next day, travelers will explore the Tambopata River, which is full of parrots and macaws. Then travelers will get to walk around Lake Condenado to see more wildlife (even capybaras and alligators)! There is also time to visit neighboring organic farms to see locally grown fruits before departing the next day.
