We will spend the enough time in the canoe enjoying the views and wildlife of the most spectacular lake in the region.
One of the most awe-inspiring features of the jungle is the enormity of the trees and you will have the experience of standing at the base of the huge kapok tree. We will also take a short visit to the traditional farming areas to see their production.
