At nightfall, do the River by Night Tour: a guided boat ride by the afternoon sailing through the Madre de Dios River.

While enjoying the nature around you, watch for the appearance of nightjars, owls, capybaras and up to three different species of alligators. Then you can enjoy dinner served in the main dining room.
