Day 1: Iquitos Pick-up/Canoeing/Caiman Spotting.

Pacaya Samiria National Reserve - The tour begins with a pick-up from your Iquitos hotel. Please provide your flight or hotel details to ensure timely service. The journey starts with a drive to Nauta, where a boat will take you directly to the lodge. Here, you have a great opportunity to see pink river dolphins, primarily found in the Amazon River.

After lunch, enjoy a canoe ride. Explore the jungle by boat, searching for monkeys, macaws, toucans, sloths, and other wildlife. This adventure offers a unique experience as you navigate through wild areas in a small boat.

Finally, witness the sunset over the jungle from the boat. The group will then embark on a canoe trip for caiman spotting. Depending on the sky, enjoy a moonlit ride back to the lodge, with stars reflecting in the river—a truly remarkable experience.

Return to the lodge for a home-cooked meal and a restful night’s sleep.

Day 2: Jungle Walk/Survival Skills/Pink Dolphins/Night Time Hiking.

Pacaya Samiria National Reserve - After breakfast, embark on a trekking journey through the jungle. Learn how natives utilize and interpret the jungle, including medicinal plants and tree communication. The trek also teaches identification of diverse flora and fauna.

Survival Skills: Our guide will provide an experiential class on jungle survival, using nature’s resources as locals do. After a break, head back to the Amazon River to swim with river dolphins.

Mud Treatment: Stop briefly on a tributary riverbank for a mud treatment at a local “spa.” Roll in the mud and let your skin absorb the nutrients and minerals.

At night, walk through the jungle in search of anacondas, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, and giant frogs. After dinner, the guide may share local stories and childhood adventures.

Day 3: Birdwatching/Piranha Fishing/Lake/Outdoor Campfire.

Pacaya Samiria National Reserve - For early risers, an early canoe trip offers a chance to enjoy the sunrise before breakfast. Spot macaws, toucans, shansho, the harpy eagle, and camungo. The view is spectacular as flocks of birds fill the rainforest in search of food.

Prepare to fish for the infamous piranha, known for their sharp teeth and aggressive appetite for meat, which has made them prominent in popular culture.

After lunch, enjoy a canoe ride to visit a lake. Along the way, see monkeys, macaws, toucans, and sloths. Stop to admire the famous Victoria Regia, or Amazon Orchid.

Dinner will be prepared at a fireplace on a wood and charcoal stove by the riverbank. Enjoy a BBQ with soft drinks, beer, or traditional aphrodisiac drinks.

Day 4: Monkey Island/Sloth/Visit a Native Community.

Pacaya Samiria National Reserve - Before breakfast, visit Monkey Island, where monkeys rescued from illegal loggers have been released into this protected area.

Visit a native community to learn about indigenous life along the Amazon River. Observe home construction, schools, and churches. Meet locals and learn about their farming and fishing techniques.

Lunch and Education: Enjoy a final lunch in the jungle before your onward journey. Guides will discuss the current challenges facing the Peruvian jungle and the Amazon. Eco-tourism is a positive alternative to logging and mining, benefiting indigenous communities.
