Itinerary
Day 1
We will leave Iquitos at 9:00 a.m. and head to the Amazon, the most popular river in the world for its great length and flow. We will board a boat to tour this lung of the American continent that has a dense tropical forest, the largest on the planet. What trees grow in the Amazon? What animals inhabit this paradise? We will find out!
We will admire a curious natural phenomenon when we reach the Nanay River, as the colour of its waters changes with respect to the Amazon. If we are lucky, we will be able to see some of the pink dolphins that live in the jungle.
Our animal adventure will continue at the lizard farm, where we will also see piaches. On this tour we will discover all the details about this fish, which can reach up to 3 metres in length. Did you imagine that such a large fish prowled the rivers of Peru?
At around 1:30 p.m., we will move to the banks of the Amazon River, where we will stay in a two-story house made of materials from the jungle. Once there, we will rest and replenish our energy with a full menu.
We will leave again at 3:00 p.m. We will visit the Yagua Indians, a people with an economy based on agriculture, fishing and hunting. What is the mythology of the Yagua people? What are their rituals? Is it an isolated people? Our guide will answer these and other questions.
We will return to the lodge complex at 5:00 p.m. to rest again and have dinner. We will take a night walk to listen carefully to the songs emitted by birds and insects. We will learn what sound corresponds to each animal.
After the walk, we will retire to spend the night in the heart of the Amazon jungle.
Day 2
We will leave home early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise in the Amazon (around 5:00 a.m.). We will watch the colours begin to filter through the dense jungle as the sun rises, a memory that is hard to forget!
We will spend the morning observing the birds of all colours that inhabit the Peruvian jungle. This opportunity will allow us to see unique species on the planet, such as the impressive scarlet macaw.
Before continuing, we will regain our strength with a delicious breakfast. Afterwards, we will head to the serpentarium, a kind of reserve for animals that have been rescued. Despite its name, it also houses sloths, ocelots, turtles and parrots. In this area, we will refresh ourselves with delicious drinks made from medicinal plants and tree bark.
We will return to the lodge at 12:30 to rest before lunch. At 14:30 we will board a boat again that will take us back to Iquitos, where we will return at around 16:30.
