The field station found at the Iwokrama River Lodge is a good base to hire naturalist guides and go on walking trails or boat rides to spot capybaras, arapaima, anacondas, sloth bears, harpy eagles, giant river otters, even a jaguar if you’re lucky. They even have their own resident black caiman, Sankar, hanging around to greet you as you approach the lodge. The nocturnal trips to spot the ‘creatures of the night’ are even more exciting in the thick forests when the sounds of the jungle look more menacing, and caiman eyes shine like diamonds in the water. Iwokrama has also been identified as one of the best birding destinations of the world. 471 bird species that have been recorded in the Iwokrama forest. Birders come with long checklists, often with antbirds, woodcreepers, trogons, parrots and macaws on top of the lists.
