The GreenTracks camping program is a unique opportunity to experience the
Amazon rainforest up close and personal. This program starts with 2 days at
our rainforest lodge, 4 days camping while exploring the reserve, and 1
final night at the lodge.
(news continued below)
On the way to the lodge by boat you will stop at a 100-foot tall
observation tower to see the confluence of the two rivers that come together
to form the Amazon River. From the lodge there will be excursions to a small
tributary and surrounding lakes to view the flora and fauna as well as
rainforest hikes. Weather permitting great sunsets can be observed from the
high ground in front of the lodge.
For the camping portion of the trip - accompanied by an experienced
GreenTracks’ guide - you will travel by boat to the Yanayacu-Pucate River
and have a chance to observe gray and pink dolphins, aquatic birds, river
turtles, sloths, monkeys, parrots and macaws. Members of the staff from the
lodge will be along to set up camp, cook delicious meals and attend to your
needs. During your stay in the Reserve you will take day and night jungle
hikes, visit lakes and search for caiman. There will also be a visit to a
riverside village for a chance to learn about the local inhabitants in the
Pacaya Samiria National Reserve and appreciate their dependance upon the
wildlife, plants and waters of the Reserve.
The activities on the camping portion of the trip can be tailored to suit
the campers' interests... photography, birding, wildlife viewing,
herpetology, fishing, ethnobotany, etc.
This 7 day/6 night program costs $1249 per person for two campers; $927
per person for three campers; $770 per person for four campers; $670 per
person for five to ten campers. Additional days can be added for $100 per
