Into the Heart of the Amazon
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel or the airport, followed by a visit to the lively Bellavista Nanay Market, where you’ll experience the exotic flavors of the jungle. A scenic boat ride on the Amazon River brings you to a serene lodge for a warm welcome and a delicious local lunch. In the afternoon, encounter fascinating wildlife, then cruise the river in search of playful pink and gray dolphins, with a chance to swim nearby. As night falls, immerse yourself in the magic of the jungle with a thrilling nocturnal hike.
Amazon Wonders: Dawn to Dusk
Start the day with a serene canoe ride at dawn, witnessing the Amazon awaken. After breakfast, visit Monkey Island to see rescued primates and exotic wildlife. Enjoy lunch before trying traditional piranha fishing, then cap off the night with a thrilling canoe expedition, spotting alligators and nocturnal creatures under the starlit sky.
«Iquitos: Where the Amazon Captures Your Soul»
The Amazon in Iquitos is more than a destination—it’s a journey into the heart of nature’s untamed beauty. Here, every sunrise awakens a world of vibrant life, and every sunset whispers the secrets of the jungle. The call of exotic birds, the splash of river dolphins, and the rustle of ancient trees become part of your soul. As you depart, you don’t just leave the Amazon—you take its magic with you, forever etched in your heart.
«Farewell to the Amazon: A Journey to Remember»
Our final day offers a last deep connection with the Amazon. An enriching ethnobotanical walk unveils the rainforest’s hidden remedies, while glimpses of monkeys, sloths, and vibrant birds remind us of its untamed beauty. After a final Amazonian lunch, we journey back to Iquitos, cruising the mighty river one last time. Let the sights, sounds, and spirit of the jungle stay with you forever. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a memory etched in your heart, a call to return to the magic of the Amazon.
