In the afternoon we will visit the Isla de los Monos that is located near our Lodge, as its name indicates, on this island there are different species of monkeys that inhabit the area in large families such as capuchins, already back to the lodge at nightfall we will do a night excursion in search of white alligators that are usually found resting on the sand of the river bank, it will also be possible to see some capybaras that are considered a species of large rodents in the world.

Finally we will return to the lodge for dinner and spend the night in the rooms.
