Description

As we navigate the winding rivers, our expert guide will lead us on an immersive birdwatching adventure, pointing out dozens of species native to the region. From vibrant toucans to majestic herons, you'll have the opportunity to spot a diverse array of bird species in their natural habitat.

Start at Estancia Olivares with a short hike where we will keep our eyes peeled for monkeys.

Throughout the afternoon, we will make stops at scenic spots along the riverbank, allowing you to see bird species, soak in the serenity of the surroundings, and capture breathtaking photos of the diverse flora and fauna. You will also have the chance to catch glimpses of local fishermen, offering insight into the river as part of a livelihood that sustains communities along these banks, enriching our understanding of the region's rich cultural heritage.

Join us for a day of leisure and discovery of Paraguay's natural paradise. As the day draws to a close, we'll be treated to a spectacular sight as we watch the sun dip below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Paraguayan river, creating a perfect ending to our river journey.
