Want to explore the Peruvian Amazon? Join us on this 2, 3, 4, or 5-day tour along the Momon River from Iquitos, offering an opportunity to uncover the natural wonders and indigenous communities in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Description
Day 1
Welcome to the Peruvian Amazon! We'll collect you at 9 am from your hotel in Iquitos or the airport and then set out for the river port. The adventure will start with a boat journey along the Amazon, the world's largest river, lasting approximately 3 hours. We'll make our first stop at a nature reserve to witness the Victoria Regia and continue to an animal sanctuary with anacondas, boas, toucans, and monkeys.
Continuing on the Momon River, we'll arrive at a riverside camp for the night. Lunch will be served at the lodge, followed by a trek to meet the Boras tribe. After dinner, we'll conclude with a night hike to observe nocturnal birds before retiring for the night.
Day 2
We'll start with a bird-watching tour at dawn, followed by breakfast. Then we'll explore the Nanay, Amazon, and Itaya rivers and visit a local community to see a 70-meter sequoia tree. After lunch at the camp, we'll engage in piranha fishing near the lodge before transferring you back to Iquitos or the airport around 5 pm.
3-Day Tour
The 3-day option follows the same itinerary for the first two days. However, on the third day, after bird-watching and breakfast, we'll sail downstream to the community of Padrecocha for a visit to a butterfly farm, then return for lunch. Weather permitting, we'll either kayak on the Momon River or visit the indigenous community of San Andres before returning to Iquitos around 5 pm.
4-Day Tour + Excursion to Belen
This option follows the same itinerary for the first three days. On the fourth day, after breakfast, we'll navigate to Belen and explore its canals before returning to the camp for lunch and visiting the indigenous community of San Andres. We'll then return to Iquitos, arriving around 5 pm.
4-Day Tour + Iquitos Tour
Following the same itinerary, on the fourth day, after breakfast, we'll sail to Bellavista port for a sightseeing tour of Iquitos, including visits to the Plaza de Armas, Casa de Hierro, Amazon Museum, and the floating market in Belen. After lunch in Quistococha, we'll return to Iquitos by approximately 5 pm.
5-Day Tour
The 5-day tour includes the first three days from the 3-day tour, an excursion to Belen on the fourth day, and the Iquitos tour on the final day.
Accommodation
You will stay at the Amazon Camp Lodge, which includes buffet-style meals. The camp offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms along the banks of the Momon River. Prices are based on double occupancy, and children under 5 can join for free when sharing a room with an adult.
