Description
Begin your full-day Amazon experience from Iquitos with a transfer to the river port, crossing the Nanay Bridge along the way. Board a boat and travel along the Nanay River toward the Amazon River, where you can observe the meeting point of the two rivers and their contrasting waters. Continue along the Amazon River and visit a local animal rescue center, where you can observe different Amazonian species and learn about the animals cared for at the facility. Continue your journey along the Momón River to a traditional sugarcane workshop. Learn about local sugarcane production, taste fresh sugarcane juice and discover some of the plants traditionally used in the region. Arrive at Amazon Camp and enjoy lunch at the lodge. In the afternoon, visit an Amazonian butterfly center to learn about the butterfly life cycle and observe different stages of development, including eggs, caterpillars, pupae and adult butterflies. Continue with a guided jungle walk to learn about Amazonian plants, medicinal species and trees. The walk leads to a Bora community, where you can learn about local traditions, dances and aspects of their way of life. If you have selected the option that includes the hanging bridge and zipline, enjoy this activity among the trees. This option replaces the Bora community visit because of the available time. At approximately 17:00, return to the main river port and continue by transfer to your hotel or the airport in Iquitos, according to your arrangements. The tour includes transportation, boat transportation, lunch, the activities mentioned in the itinerary and assistance during the excursions.Includes
