Reception at the airport, hotel, or other location. Transportation to the Huitoto community located 7.7 km away. The first activity begins with a guided jungle walk led by a host.

This entrance trail will take us approximately 2 hours to reach the main house of the family where we will spend the day and night. Upon arrival, we will participate in many activities such as: swimming in the Takana River, visiting the chagra, crafts and painting workshops; but above all, we will witness the unique medicine that is prepared in this culture to the point of being invited to try it (mambe, ambil, and rape). The day ends with a nighttime exploration in search of animals “that the jungle surprises us with.” We will spend the first night in a private cabin with a private bathroom.

Breakfast will be around 8:00 a.m. at the maloca. We will then walk back to the main road. From there, we'll travel to the shores of Lake Yahuarcaca, which will take us to the Flor de Loto Natural Reserve, where we will spend the day and night.
We will participate in activities such as: bird watching, canoe or kayak trips, artisanal fishing, a night outing, and swimming in the lake or the Amazon River, depending on the season.
