“HEART OF THE AMAZON” ADVENTURE

On the Napo River, 160 km (100 mi) from Iquitos, EXPLORNAPO
provides access to the pristine forest of Explorama´s Sucusari Reserve, as
well as access to the adjoining Amazon Canopy Walkway, one of the longest
treetop walkways in the world. This adventure offers the opportunity to
live in an authentic Amazon River style with palm-thatched houses,
kerosene lighting and open-hearth cooking in a rainforest surrounding.
Room, shower and toilet facilities are identical to those of Explorama
Lodge. The recommended 5 day/4 night program, including two nights at
Explorama Lodge, provides the opportunity to take special rainforest treks
and excursions into the surrounding primeval forest in an area named by
scientists as the “Biodiversity Capital of the World ”. Other options
available from ExplorNapo include an overnight adventure staying in
ExplorTambo shelters which are located in more remote rainforest, as well
as staying overnight at the ACTS Field Station.

“PURE RAINFOREST” ADVENTURE

EXPLORTAMBOS is a
primitive camp in Explorama´s deep virgin rainforest reserve of the Napo
River, a two-hour walk from our nearest lodge, ExplorNapo. The new Tambos
have a maximum capacity for 16 explorers who share this experience, sleeping
in individual shelters with mosquito netted beds (shelters for couples are
also available), eating meals cooked on an open-hearth fireplace and using
the Tambos as the departing point for newly opened trails. Due to the
Tambo’s isolation, the possibilities of spotting wildlife are much better
than from any other lodge in this part of the Amazon. In the short time that
the area has been visited by biologists, zoologists and our guides, many
different species of primates - red titi monkeys, yellow handed titi
monkeys, tamarins, squirrel monkeys, monk sakis, pygmy marmosets and howler
monkeys have been observed. In addition to primates, they have also
confirmed the presence of ocelots, tayras, arboreal anteaters, and other
mammals. The ExplorTambo basic program includes nights at Explorama Lodge
and ExplorNapo as well as the Tambos. On this adventure there are excellent
opportunities to discover the unique animals and birds of the Amazon as well
as to enjoy the wide variety of plants and insect life. |

"CANOPY WALKWAY" ADVENTURE

Opened in 1993, ACTS, Amazon Conservatory of Tropical
Studies, provides a research station for scientists in the rainforest and
an opportunity for layman to share in their discovery. The large, thatched
buildings are identical in construction to those found at Explorama Lodge.
A donation to maintain and protect the surrounding Reserve and Canopy
Walkway is included in the tariff for the ACTS Field Station. In addition
to the Walkway, extensive trail hikes are available including the
"Medicine Trail" used specifically to show the local rainforest plants
used in modern medicine as well as examples of native plant remedies which
science may use in the future.
