Visitors to the reserve can engage in birdwatching, guided boat tours through the intricate channels of the delta, nature photography, and small-group eco-tours that highlight the natural and cultural heritage of the region. Iconic wildlife includes jaguars, capybaras, herons, kingfishers, and various migratory birds, attracting naturalists and researchers alike. The reserve’s network of water routes and trails offers immersive access to the unique ecosystems while maintaining strict environmental safeguards.
