Description

Itinerary Day 1 We will leave Iquitos at 9:00 a.m. and head for the Amazon, the most popular river in the world due to its great length and flow. We will board a boat to tour this lung of the American continent that has a dense rainforest, the largest on the planet. What trees grow in the Amazon? What animals inhabit this paradise? We will discover it! We will admire a curious phenomenon of nature when we arrive at the Nanay River, since the color 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 inhabit 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 meters in length. Did you imagine that such a large fish would prowl the rivers of Peru? At around 1:30 p.m., we will move to the shore of the Amazon River, where we will stay in a two-story house made of jungle materials. Once there, we will rest and recharge our batteries with a complete menu. We will set off again at 3:00 pm. We will visit the Yagua natives, a people with an economy based on agriculture, fishing and hunting. What is the mythology of the Yagua people? What are their rituals? Are they isolated people? Our guide will answer these and other questions. We will return to the lodge complex at 5:00 p.m. for another rest and dinner. We will take a night walk to listen carefully to the songs emitted by birds and insects. We will learn which sound corresponds to which animal. After the walk, we will retire for a night in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Day 2 We will leave the house early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise in the Amazon (around 5:00 am). We will contemplate how the colors begin to filter into the dense jungle as the sun rises, a memory that will be hard to forget! We will spend the morning observing the birds of all colors 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 replenish 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 is also home to 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 2:30 p.m. we will board again a boat that will take us back to Iquitos, where we will return at around 4:30 p.m. Lodging The lodging for this excursion is in cabins with private room and bathroom. You can choose whether you prefer a double bed or two single beds in the room.
