We continue towards the Cloud Forest, an area very rich in endemic species such as the Spectacled Bear and Cock of the Rock, orchids, bromeliads, ferns, etc. observing nature and then continue until we reach our Orquídeas de San Pedro hostel where we will spend our first night comfortably installed.
Very early we will look for the interesting Cock of the Rock, the national bird of Peru that performs a unique courtship ritual. After breakfast we continue to the town of Pilcopata*, later to the port of Atalaya, a place located on the banks of the Alto Madre de Dios River, 700 meters above sea level, from where we will begin the descent by boat to observe the enormous diversity of existing bird species, such as herons, vultures, cormorants, etc. until we reach our Private Reserve "Erika".

We will board our boat to cross the river and walk for 30 minutes along a path to observe and talk about interesting flora such as sensitive plants, heliconias, fruit trees, etc. until we reach the Machuwasi lagoon where we will row in rustic canoes to observe birds such as the primitive hoatzin, hopefully alligators, monkeys and capybaras.

Very early we will board our boat to go to the Collpa, a wall of the river where the different species of parrots such as the blueheaded parrot, white-eyed parakeet and possibly the Maracano macaw, among others, come down every morning to extract clay necessary for their dietary balance. . At the end of this daily activity, we return to our Erika hostel to pack up and sail by boat to the Port of Atalaya, where the bus that will take us back is waiting for us.
