Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

We will pick you up at 9 am at your hotel in Iquitos, and then travel by road to Nauta, located in the Peruvian province of Loreto.

On the way, we will pass through the wetlands and forests of Quistococha National Tourist Park and areas of 'chamizales' and 'varillales' vegetation in the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, known for bird watching and possibly seeing endemic species.

At 10:30 am, we will arrive in Nauta, a key river port of the Peruvian Amazon. We will take a tour of the city and the Sapi Sapi lagoon, home to the taricaya turtle, crocodile, and pirarucu fish. It is said that mythical creatures lurk in these waters.

Next, we will take a break for a picnic lunch. Afterward, we will enjoy a leisurely ride on the Marañon River in a motorboat to the confluence of the Ucayali River, the source of the Amazon River.
