You can also take the tour it as a relaxing cruise and stay onboard the Reina for your whole stay, or you can make Indiana Jones envious by going full-bore with camera, binoculars, hiking boots and explore the Jungle. At the end of each day, we often meet upstairs on the viewing deck to have a drink, share the day’s adventures, and observe a remarkably vivid Milky Way.
Enjoy the comfort of your cabin with private facilities and the ample social areas and restaurant while on board. Reina de Enin works with CYMA, a small group of university-trained, native Bolivian biologists that provide expert bilingual guiding to our groups.

After breakfast we will find a good path to walk in to the forest and make the interpretation of the jungle, properties of plants and fruits. The path is made in a stealthy way to increase the chances of finding and visualizing some species of fauna that can be found in the jungle.
In the afternoon we make a hike into the forest. Time to know about jungle, plants and animals. This hiking takes about 2,5 hours.
Afterwards we sail to the confluence of the Mamoré and Ibare rivers, this is the best place for observing freshwater dolphins or bufeos (Inia Boliviensis), you can also take advantage of the pink dolphins to swim.
The visit to the Green Lagoon is made going through a jungle path where the interpretation of flora and fauna of the place is complemented. We also visit one of the artificial hills that were made by the ancient inhabitants of the Moxos. In Green lagoon we are possible to fish some piranhas.
