On the way we will visit the interesting funerary towers of the pre-inka site of Ninamarca (commonly known as "Chullpas"), where we will have a brief explanation by the guide. Continuing the trip we will visit Paucartambo, a picturesque and interesting town of colonial origin (full of folklore). Then we will continue our journey towards the Acjanaco pass (3,600 meters above sea level), which marks the beginning of our adventure within "Manu National Park" (spectacular view of the Amazon Basin); and then descend through an interesting Cloud Forest, where the humidity of the place provides an ideal habitat for species such as: orchids, ferns (very old plants), bromeliads (epiphytes), mosses, lichens and much more. In the fascinating Cloud Forest we can also observe species such as: the Cock of the Rocks (national bird of Peru), the Quetzal, Monkeys, the Spectacled Bear, among others. Many species are endemic to this area. We had lunch on the way; Finally this day, we arrived at our first and cozy lodge "Paraíso" near the town of Pilcopata (800 meters above sea level).
DAY 02 (PILCOPATA - ATALAYA - LAKE MACHUWASI - ERIKA LODGE): After a delicious Amazonian breakfast, we continue our trip for another hour in our vehicle, making stops to observe the interesting life of the area (flora, fauna and populations), and we will also have the option of visiting a hummingbird garden and a coca plantation; Then we will arrive at the town of Atalaya (Port), here we board our motor boat (canoe) on the Alto Madre de Dios River, and going upstream we will have the opportunity to cool off and do a little swimming; Then we go down the Alto Madre de Dios River by boat for approximately 40 minutes to our comfortable private lodge "Erika", where we will walk through the interesting system of trochas (trails) that "Perú Amazonico" offers you, trying to find some types of monkeys, reptiles, birds, insects, medicinal plants and much more. Our lodge is in a very quiet and secluded area, where you will feel like you are in the middle of the tropical jungle, and walking in the dark you will be able to feel countless sounds as well as enjoy the beautiful Amazonian sky.
After lunch and a short nap, we will board our boat, for ten minutes, then we walk for about an hour through a very pleasant trail to observe and talk about the interesting flora and fauna of the area, until we reach a mirror of water "Machuwasi Lake", where with the help of all our equipment (telescope, binocular and books) and using a rustic raft, we will observe a diversity of life such as: monkeys, capybaras, alligators, snakes, great egrets, keskadees, toucans , carpenters, cardinals, etc. Night walk to feel the sounds and observe wildlife, such as: snakes, tree frogs, horned frogs, arachnids and an incredible variety of insects.

After this activity we returned to our hostel and enjoyed our breakfast. The area of our lodge is a transition zone between the high jungle and the low jungle (500 to 1,150 meters above sea level).

DIET
The first step to face this experience is to be willing and perceptive that the teaching will come from another side. Teaching begins before the night of the ceremony and medicine continues indefinitely in time. The previous teaching begins with the changes in eating habits (it is better to stick to the guidelines if you want to avoid a bad time with the plant in the ceremony). The common goal of the diet is to purify your body and that the physical shock of taking Ayahuasca is not so stormy. The concoction purges and cleanses you, so the more contaminated your body is, the more it will feel the jolt of the purge.
The diet is basically the following: do not eat red meat and the last two days it is suggested to avoid the intake of derivatives of any animal, do not eat processed foods, or irritants such as spicy or coffee, no alcohol, no recreational or pharmaceutical drugs, no dairy , no sex, rest the three days before the ceremony and maintain the diet the three days after for best results.
