Description

We'll pick you up directly from your hotel to begin an adventure that combines nature, culture, and a touch of Amazonian mystery. We arrive at the Port of Bellavista Nanay, where the aroma of exotic barbecues and the crunch of grilled suri (a type of squid) welcome us. We set off on the Nanay River until we find the majestic Amazon, right at the point where its waters merge in an immense embrace. As we travel along the largest river in the world, our guide shares stories and legends that have been passed down for generations. During the journey, the waters can offer us one of their most magical treasures: the sighting of gray or pink dolphins, which emerge from the surface as if playing with the boat. We then head into the jungle for a botanical walk, discovering medicinal plants and learning how native communities have used them for centuries. Amidst the birdsong and the rustling of leaves, we observe species in their natural habitat, feeling the jungle envelop us. A special moment awaits us: encountering the monkeys, with their curious gazes and agile movements, allowing us to see a glimpse of their wildlife. And as the icing on the cake, we stop in front of the imposing Giant Amazonian Tree, the Lupuna, whose colossal size seems to have guarded the jungle for centuries. With hearts full of wonder, we begin our return to Iquitos, where our adventure ends at the office, but the stories and memories will remain forever.

Important Information

  • Recommendation for a better experience: This activity is recommended during the early morning hours, when weather and environmental conditions favor the best viewing of wildlife in its natural habitat. All activities will proceed according to the established itinerary, regardless of rain, unless the weather poses a risk to participants. The presence of animals such as dolphins, birds, and monkeys is directly influenced by environmental conditions, so weather conditions may affect sightings.
