Pacaya Samiria 3 Day Tour

Day 1

After pickup in Iquitos at 8 am, we will board a bus to Nauta. From there, we will travel to the Marañon River for a 3.5-hour boat trip. After arriving at the camp, tents will be set up for the night. A typical Peruvian menu will be provided, including vegetarian options. We will then explore the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, taking another boat trip to Huaylla Lake to observe wildlife such as herons, shanshos, camungos, and pink river dolphins. At night, we will observe tarantulas and listen to nocturnal animal sounds before returning to camp for rest.

Day 2

After breakfast, we head back into Pacaya Samaria National Reserve to set up camp for the night. We will explore the flora and fauna of the jungle, watching for birds like the yellow-crowned parrot and mammals such as sloths and monkeys. The day includes a night boat ride to see caimans, turtles, and anacondas, followed by another night at camp.

Day 3

The final day is dedicated to Indigenous fishing traditions, where we will fish for piranhas. After breakfast, we will enjoy the jungle's exotic birds and landscapes. We then return to camp for a meal before heading back to Nauta and taking a bus to Iquitos.
