South America WildlifeYou will begin your adventure in Guayaquil . Then to the unique Galapagos Islands, justifiably one of the world’s great wildlife destinations. As it had been free of humans and predators for almost all of its history, the islands have developed some of the most unique life forms on the planet. We explore the islands for 8 days on our comfortable small motor cruiser. Fly to remote Puerto Maldonado on the Rio Madre de Dios- a tributary of the Amazon - still unspoiled, where animal and bird spotting is among the best in South America. The Tambopata National Reserve is a 275,000 hectare conservation unit created by the Peruvian government in 1990 to protect the watersheds of the Tambopata and Candamo rivers It is adjacent to the huge 1 million hectare Bahuaja Sonene National Park. Visit the unique Macaw Parrot Lick and observe local communities . Then cross into Brazil to fly to Manaus to see the mighty Amazon and a stay at a remote Amazon lodge. The pinnacle of South America wildlife is the Pantanal – the largest wetland on earth teeming with birdlife and animals including the elusive Jaguar. .
