Pacaya Samiria 3 Day Tour
Day 1
After pickup in Iquitos at 8 am, we will travel by bus to Nauta, then proceed to the Marañon River. A boat will take us on a 3.5-hour trip along the river. After setting up camp for the night, we will rest before exploring the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. A typical Peruvian meal will be provided, with vegetarian options available. We will take another boat to Huaylla Lake, observing wildlife such as herons, shanshos, camungos, and pink river dolphins. At night, we will see tarantulas and hear exotic nocturnal animals before returning to the camp for rest.
Day 2
After breakfast, we will return to the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve to set up camp for the night. We will observe various flora and fauna, including birds and mammals like sloths and monkeys. A night boat ride will reveal caimans, turtles, and anacondas in their natural habitat before returning to camp.
Day 3
The final day focuses on Indigenous fishing traditions, hunting fish such as piranhas. After breakfast, we will explore the jungle again, then return to camp for a meal. Finally, we will travel back to Nauta by boat and then take a bus back to Iquitos.
