   • Begin the journey by boat, looking for two-toed sloths frequently found on the treetops by the bank. 

   • Continue on the Tambopata River, and find more wildlife such as capybaras, river turtles, fish-eating birds, shorebirds and parrots. Enjoy a captivating view of the sunset from the boat. Tambopata river has one of the most outstanding landscapes at sunset time.

   • Caiman Searching: Around twilight, see some species that come out to hunt, such as alligators, nighthawks, frogs, and snakes. They are more sensitive to low light and adapt themselves to these conditions.
