NICARAGUAN RAIN FOREST
SAFARI
For lovers of tropical flora
and fauna, this is a dream date. A journey through a volcanic
island chain in a giant unspoiled lake, to two great wildlife
reserves and down densely forested jungle rivers.
Jungle Love is a romance of tropical
proportions. Arriving from Managua by small plane to the southeastern
shores of Lake Nicaragua, you’ll spend the remainder of the journey
exploring in small boat and on foot. The journey begins as you
travel down the mighty San Juan River which connects Lake Nicaragua
to the Caribbean Sea, arriving at the confluence of Bartola and
San Juan Rivers and the start of the Indio Maiz Biological Reserve,
3,000 Km2 of virgin rain forest with an infinitely diverse flora
and fauna, a virtual rainbow of butterflies, three species of
monkeys, over 700 species of birds and much more.
We’ll hike in this magic forest
of tropical sights and sounds and explore the Bartola river in
canoe. Later we’ll continue to the wide expanse of Lake Nicaragua
and the isolated and tranquil Archipelago of Solentiname, to explore
its 36, sparsely populated islands, their unique artists colony
and incredible bird life.
One of the country’s finest areas
for viewing tropical fauna is in the wetland and gallery forest
of the Los Guatusos Wildlife Reserve, which we will examine in
boat and discover its astonshingly vibrant bird, monkey and reptile
populations.
Few people have the chance to
experience tropical wildlife in this kind of setting. This is
one love affair with nature, that you may never get over.
