Early in the morning, we will wake up with the songs of Amazonian birds that approach our garden, including toucans, macaws, parrots, tanagers, flycatchers, and more. After this fantastic activity, we will enjoy breakfast at the lodge.

After this fantastic moment we will drive in our private vehicle along the only road through the forest to the territory of Huacaria native village. Upon arrival, we will be welcomed by the chief and the families. This day will be dedicated to exploring the indigenous Amazonian cultures of Manu. There are at least five recognized indigenous Amazonian groups in Manu, each with its own language, methods of gathering, hunting, fishing, religious rituals, and traditional medicine. These groups have varying degrees of contact with civilization.

Activities include:

fishing in the rivers, harvesting crops, archery and arrow shooting, crafting items such as necklaces made from palm seeds, swimming in the Amelia River lagoon with schoolchildren, and storytelling of Matsigenka and Huachipaery origin myths and legends by the village leader. Participants will also learn about the use of medicinal plants, meditation, and chance  to connect with the energy of the plants.

Their diet is based on yucca, plantains, and some delicious traditional dishes, such as: Patarashca (fish prepared in bijao leaves), Pacamuto (fish prepared inside bamboo), Juane (rice and chicken wrapped in bijao leaves and steamed), Ahumado (smoked meat or fish), Palm heart salad (made from the heart of palm trees), and Suri (the larvae of a type of beetle that feeds exclusively on dead palm trees). Overnight stays are in tents with campfires, and meals will be prepared by the tour group and local families. Optional activity: ayahuasca ceremony.

Overnight stay in tents assigned by host families in a safe and peaceful environment.
