From Nauta, embark on a boat ride along the beautiful Marañon River until you arrive at the confluence with Ucayali River.

From your local tour guide, learn everything there is to know about dolphins and how important they are for the Amazon environment. Arrive at Pacaya Samiria National Park and wander through the vast greenery of the landscape, looking out for capybaras, monkeys, birds, and snakes.
