Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

We will pick you up at 9 am at your hotel in Iquitos, traveling by road to Nauta, a town in the Peruvian province of Loreto.

On the way, we will pass through the wetlands and forests of the Quistococha National Tourist Park and the areas of 'chamizales' and 'varillales' in the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, an area known for bird watching and home to many endemic species.

At 10:30 am, we will arrive in Nauta, one of the main river ports of the Peruvian Amazon. We will tour the city and visit the Sapi Sapi lagoon, which is home to the taricaya turtle, crocodiles, and pirarucu fish. According to legend, mythical creatures reside in this lagoon.

Next, we will have a picnic lunch before taking a leisurely ride on the Marañon River in a motorboat to the confluence with the Ucayali River, the source of the Amazon River.

After a two-hour trip, we will reach the village of Grau, where we can enjoy views from the Mirador del Amazonas. After the panoramic views, we will return by boat to Nauta.
