Private jungle tours
- Your guide is probably the most essential element in your jungle experience!
- All of our guides are rainforest experts, very enthousiastic to share their “jungle life” and share with you the flora, fauna and the local experience!
- Each reservation at Libertad is allocated a private guide, a dedicated boat and boat driver: your tour is truly personalised. No time is spent on areas that don’t interest you, nor adapting to other people pace.
- We do limit the number of guests we host at a same time to make sure the Libertad experience remains warm and personal.

Explore the jungle life at your own pace
- The experience is «à la carte», designed by you with your guide to adapt to your interests and fitness level.
- We have all types of activities: short (min 2h) or long (half day, full day or multi day), with different level of efforts (spending more time hiking into deep jungle versus more time watching from the boat)
The activities
Unlimited
possibilities
Direct access to a maze of lagunas and rivers, and gorgeous exposure to both the flooded forest and the drylands. Canoeing upriver can bring you next to several conservation areas, where a variety of animals and plants can be observed, along with some remote native community villages (but no tribes).
Interpretative
trails
Short or long hikes into the forest where the expert eyes and ears of your guide will let you discover the enchanting life of the rainforest. Our guides all grew up in our village (or similar local villages) and will be able to take you to the best places to look for each animal. They know the fauna, flora, living communities, and the general area very well and will tailor your program specifically to the type of Amazon experience that you want to have!
Fauna
& Flora
During your stay, you should see many species of monkeys, spiders, caimans, fishes, birds, insects, snakes, and of course, dolphins & sloths. Anaconda snakes and more specific species, such as jaguars, are in the area too but are harder to spot. Encounters with wildlife will take perseverance and a bit of luck as this is an authentic jungle experience, in sheer nature. Not a wildlife park!
Experience it
like a local
Our experiential tourism options give you the opportunity to sample the genuine jungle life (local crafts class, culture, food & cooking workshop, traditional medicine,...)
Relax
& getaway
The lodge is pleasantly ample and offers several areas from where to just sit and enjoy the nature sounds & sights! Total disconnection.
Off the grid adventures

- Additional activities can be added before breakfast or after dinner if requested.
- Start the day with an early morning tour (5 am) to watch the sunrise on the Amazon or go out on a nighttime excursion like fishing, caiman spotting or looking for tarantulas.
- A boat operator will accompany you on each excursion so that your guide can be fully available to teach you about the jungle life!
- Of course, as the lodge is part of the village of Libertad, you are invited to join the activities of the village as well, including craftsmanship, crops, fishing, playing football with the children, and more.
There are no standard itineraries as each of our tour gets customized between you and your guide upon arrival. However, we have created an example of 4D3N – 3D2N itinerary so that you can imagine what your stay will look like.
