Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

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

En route, we will pass through the wetlands and forests of the Quistococha National Tourist Park and the areas of 'chamizales' and 'varillales' vegetation with white sandy soil in the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, a great location for birdwatching, where we may see numerous endemic species.

At 10:30 am, we will arrive in Nauta, a primary river port in the Peruvian Amazon. We will tour the city and the Sapi Sapi lagoon, home to animals such as the taricaya turtle, crocodile, and pirarucu fish. According to legend, mythical creatures may dwell beneath the waters.

Next, we will have a picnic lunch. Afterward, we will take a leisurely ride on the Marañon River in a motor boat to the confluence of the Ucayali River, the source of the Amazon River.

After a two-hour trip, we will arrive at the village of Grau for panoramic views at the Mirador del Amazonas. Post the views, we will return by boat to Nauta.

Finally, we will return by road to Iquitos, with an estimated arrival at your hotel at 5:30 pm.
