Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

Pickup will be at 9 am from your hotel in Iquitos, followed by a road trip to Nauta, located in the Peruvian province of Loreto.

En route, travelers will pass through wetlands and forests of the Quistococha National Tourist Park and the vegetation areas of 'chamizales' and 'varillales' within the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, a place suitable for bird watching with potential sightings of endemic species.

Upon arrival in Nauta at 10:30 am, a tour of the city and Sapi Sapi lagoon will be conducted. This lagoon hosts animals such as the taricaya turtle, crocodile, and pirarucu fish. Legends also suggest mythical creatures exist here.

A picnic lunch will follow, after which a leisurely motorboat ride on the Marañon River will take participants to the confluence of the Ucayali River, the source of the Amazon River.

After a two-hour journey, the village of Grau will be reached, where extraordinary views from the Mirador del Amazonas can be enjoyed, followed by a boat return to Nauta.

Finally, the return trip by road to Iquitos will conclude the excursion, with arrival at your hotel scheduled for 5:30 pm.
