Combinación de selva y rafting

Este viaje de tres días le ofrece una fantástica mezcla de actividades y lo mejor que la selva puede ofrecer. Los dos primeros días estarán llenos de experiencias inolvidables en la selva tropical más grande del mundo, y pasará las noches como un lugareño más: charlando alrededor de una hoguera, escuchando los sonidos de la selva y durmiendo en nuestras cabañas. El último día, regresaremos en rafting hacia Tena, terminando el viaje con un emocionante paseo por el río Jatun Yacu.

¡Los rápidos fueron intensos y muy divertidos! Hicimos rappel en cuatro pequeñas cascadas, lo cual fue emocionante. Terminamos el día en una hermosa poza. También hicimos un paseo en bote alrededor de una laguna por la que habíamos caminado y pudimos ver algunos monos.
