At dusk, witness the enchanting transformation of the rainforest from a diurnal to a nocturnal environment on a guided Twilight Riverboat ride, as animals and birds of the daytime give way to species specially adapted to the shadows of the night.

day 11 - Sandoval Lake excursion

This morning, you will visit Lake Sandoval, a glassy, ox-bow lake located inside the protected Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Reached via a sun-dappled jungle trail, Inkaterra explorer guides will regale you with their tales of unexpected encounters with poison frogs and camouflaged creatures. Board a dugout wooden canoe to quietly paddle through mangroves and glide onto Lake Sandoval, flanked by picture-perfect palms.

This serene lake is home to thousands of species of birds, the endangered giant river otter, red howler monkeys, red-bellied macaws, anacondas, side-neck turtles, and black caimans. Return to Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion in time for lunch. In the afternoon, take a 20-minute boat ride across the Madre de Dios River to climb the exhilarating Inkaterra Canopy walkway and navigate the Anaconda Walk.

The Inkaterra Canopy Walkway is a sophisticated and safe 344 meter (1,135 feet) network of seven ecologically constructed hanging suspension bridges, strung between eight treetop observation platforms above the forest floor. Originally constructed for our non-profit organization, Inkaterra Asociación, to carry out conservation projects, this is an unforgettable opportunity to observe the rainforest from the rooftop and gain a sense of its colossal size. Ascend the first vertiginous tower 38 meters (124 feet) above ground, keeping an eye out for white-throated toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, squirrel monkeys, and the three-toed sloth. Back at the base, follow the Anaconda Walk, strolling the seasonally flooded aguajales wetlands on an elevated wooden boardwalk.

Come nightfall, under the cover of darkness, explore the rainforest on foot as your senses heighten to movements in the undergrowth and the raucous sounds of the rainforest.

After a tasty lunch in the Casa Grande dining room, enjoy a relaxing paddle boat ride in a dugout canoe on Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion’s oxbow shaped lagoon or cocha.

Row out onto the caramel-coloured water to enjoy the scenery and spot hoatzins, fly catchers and graynecked woodrails, perhaps with the sounds of red howler monkeys bellowing in the distance. Get close to the surprising remains of a semi-submerged steamboat in waters that also hide caiman and piranha. Using the practice of catch and release, you can fish for

The islands are named after the white tipped Tintoreras reef sharks that swim in these calm waters.

On the Tintoreras, we will see almost all the archipelago’s iconic wildlife: white-tipped reef sharks, sea lions, turtles, rays, penguins, and of course pelicans and blue footed boobies. This is a Galapagos in miniature! After walking on the island, we will have a chance to snorkel in the bay. Don’t be surprised if some of the penguins or sea lions jump in to play alongside you in the water.

Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch

day 20 - Sierra Negra hike

Volcanic eruptions created all the Galapagos Islands, and today, you will have a chance to see this geologic process first-hand as we explore Isabela, one of the archipelago’s youngest and most volcanically active islands.

We have the whole day to explore the Isabela highlands, and we start by hiking up to the crater of the massive Sierra Negra volcano, and then onward to the rim of the Volcan Chico. This fascinating walk usually begins with some morning fog and drizzle, which sometimes persists in the shadow of the volcano, adding to its mysterious character. Despite the drizzle, we may see Galapagos Hawks, finches, flycatchers and Short Eared Owls en route.

When we reach the rim of the Sierra Negra crater, the second largest in the world after the Ngorongoro in Tanzania, we will see the reward for our efforts. The crater is so large, and the views so expansive, photos can’t do it justice, but bring your binoculars and camera anyway.

Later, as we head toward Volcan Chico, we may get the feeling we are walking on Mars due to the alien landscape. And while the land appears to be utterly desolate, a closer look will reveal small lizards scurrying about among the rocks. From the crater’s rim, we will enjoy more amazing views along with lava tubes and fumaroles.

After Volcan Chico and its extreme landscape, we will be able to relax in the shade of a lovely "jaboncillo" tree, and enjoy our box lunch while taking in the spectacular and expansive views over the central and northern parts of the Island. In the distance, we will be able to see Fernandina, Pinzon and Santa Cruz Islands. We then head back down to complete our day of hiking (16 kilometers/9,94 miles in total) and relax on the beaches of Puerto Villamil.

Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

Situated on the impressive, slow moving, River Guayas, this bustling city has an endearing, tropical atmosphere. There is plenty to see, and this is an important stop on every Ecuadorian tour. On this day tour we will visit several of the city’s highlights, such as the Malecon 2000 Boardwalk and Seminario Park.

After watching boats slowly passing by on the river, we will walk past and learn about some of Guayaquil’s most important and impressive structures such as the Crystal Palace, the Moorish Tower, and the Governor’s Office Building.

We will also make a visit to Santa Ana Hill, the picturesque neighborhood where the city began, get a glimpse of what life was like in Guayaquil a century ago, and enjoy the comical antics of the dozens of tame, slow moving iguanas that live in Seminario Park.
