We offer 4 day and 7 day itineraries. Our voyages are variable depending on if it is high or low water season and also depending upon a groups own particular interests.

This is a sample of the 7 day itinerary...

DAY 1 - Arrival in Iquitos

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. The only way to access the city is by air or by boat…there are no roads leading into the jungle! While here spend some time in the floating markets of Belem, enjoy the shops and restaurants in the town square, or just enjoy the view of the Amazon river as it winds its way in the distance

 

DAY 2 - River Cruise and Amazon Yarapa River Lodge

Enjoy a hearty breakfast and then be transported to Nauta by vehicle. Once there, you will board our main transport boat that will take you up the Amazon river and eventually to the Yarapa river, a remote tributary of the Amazon. Once at the Amazon Yarapa River Lodge, enjoy a lunch and orientation. An afternoon excursion into the rainforest is planned. After dinner, enjoy the sounds of the jungle safely from the relaxing lodge.

 

DAY 3 - Remote lakes of the jungle and Pink Dolphins

Awake to the sounds of birds. After breakfast enjoy a trip exploring three remote and pristine lakes to view birds, primates, and pink dolphins. In the afternoon, we will embark on an afternoon hike. Come evening we will take the boat for an after dinner cruise and explore the Amazon night!

 

DAY 4 - Giant water lilies, village, and canoeing

Off to explore the famous giant water lilies of the Amazon. So large, they can support a small child! There is also a good chance to see the pre-historic Hoatzin birds. In the afternoon, we will visit an authentic Indian village. Once there, you will have the opportunity to trade for many hand-made crafts if you wish. In the evening, we can take some canoe lessons in authentic dug-out canoes.

 

DAY 5 - Macaws and Caimans

A lengthy jungle cruise to see some beautiful macaws and other birds. The afternoon may consist of a spear-fishing demostration by local hunters. Once dark, we will take the boat out to look for caimans hiding along the river banks.

DAY 6 - Medicinal plant hike, Piranha fishing (optional), and Shaman Ceremony

A morning rainforest hike that will feature some medicinal plants found in the area. This hike will be led by a nearby shaman (medicine man) who is a local expert on the plant life in the area. In the afternoon, you have the chance to fish for piranha! That evening the local shaman will perform a traditional ceremony for all to experience!

DAY 7 - Return to Iquitos

After breakfast, we enjoy a guided jungle hike. Then we embark on a scenic journey back to the city of Iquitos.

 

DAY 8 - Amazon goodbye

Although you trip in the Amazon has ended, the country of Peru has many other treasures to explore. We recommend a one week visit to the high Andes to visit such sites as Macchu Picchu (pictured here).

Your travel agent can arrange this if you would like.
