In Pumarinri we have a high diversity of owls, which, with the help of the guide, our flashlights and the melody of their song interpreted by a small player, we can observe them in their habitat (due to the natural environment in which they are, we cannot ensure the presence of the species mentioned).

En dirección contraria, hacia el oeste, tenemos las cataratas de Pucayaquillo también a corta distancia, aunque en este caso hay que superar subidas más pronunciadas. Un poco más allá el pueblo de Shapaja, donde podemos tomar un agua de coco o un refresco en sus playas frente al río. Y si queremos extendernos más, podemos llegar hasta la desembocadura del Mayo.
