Our outing begins with a transfer by car (45 minutes) to Allpahuayo Mishana Reserve which contains 500 varieties of trees per 2.5 acres - more than any site on earth with nearly 100 different plant species.

The flora of the reserve is diverse with over 1,900 species. This rainforest is composed of several soil types, ranging from rare white quartz sand to red clays. Each of these soil types supports a unique community of plants and animals, making it one of the most biodiverse in the world. Many of these species are white-sand specialists and are therefore exceedingly rare, due to the scarcity of white-sand forest.

Of the 475 species of birds that have been documented, 21 species are associated only with the white-sand forest. White sand forest makes up only a tiny fraction of the Amazonian landmass. Many of the trees in this area are fairly uniform in their height and diameter, and due to their appearance without large major branches, they are rather similar to utility posts. We can see species like Ancient Antwren, Mishana Tyrannulet, Point-tailed Palmcreeper, Zimmer´s Tody-Tyrant, White-winged Potto, Brown-banded Puffbird, Allpahuayo Antbird, Northern Chestnut-tailed Antbird, range Crested Manakin and Iquitos Gnatcatcher here.
