If you're in Iquitos, don't miss this day trip to Monkey Island. We'll sail around the Itaya and Amazon Rivers and spot some wildlife in the Peruvian jungle.

Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in the centre of Iquitos and head to the Nanay pier. There, we'll board a boat and embark on a journey down the Amazon River.

We'll sail along the Itaya and Amazon rivers, discovering the flora and fauna they contain. Our first stop will be at a local breeding centre, where we'll see native species such as black and white caimans, aquatic turtles, giant paiches, and the Victoria Regias, the largest water lilies in the world.

We will then walk through the jungle to the home of a native tribe of the Yagua ethnic group. Its inhabitants will teach us their dances, music, language, and customs.

Afterwards, we'll continue along the Amazon River towards Monkey Island. Onboard, you'll have a traditional meal of 'Juane Amazónico', consisting of rice, chicken, olives, and egg wrapped in a bijao leaf, along with salads, tropical fruits, and water.

Upon reaching Monkey Island, a project for the care and recovery of primates, we'll explore the refuge, learn about the species, interact with them, and feed them.

As we return to the starting point, enjoy the Amazonian sunset and possibly see the pink dolphins swimming in the river.

Finally, we'll return to Iquitos and end the day trip at your hotel after 9 hours of experiencing Peruvian nature.
