DAY 1 - Arrival in Iquitos and Travel to Amazon Yarapa River Lodge
Welcome to the jungle city of Iquitos. This small city was once a booming town in the days before rubber was made synthetically. Now it is enjoying a resurgence primarily from tourism in the area. A tour of the city will be followed by lunch and then departure to the lodge. A jungle drive to the outpost of Nauta followed by a boat ride up the Amazon River to the Yarapa River. Once at the Amazon Yarapa River Lodge, you will receive an orientation and meet your guide to discuss the itinerary and plan. After dinner, a night excursion will be planned.
