Mayantuyacu River Day Trip

At 5:30 am, we'll meet at the Hospedaje Los Incas in Puerto Inca to take the bus to the Mayantuyacu River, also known as the Boiling River.

After a five-hour drive, we'll board a boat to sail the turquoise waters of the Mayantuyacu River, which can reach temperatures of up to 93ºC (194ºF). We'll explore the mystical stories of this river, considered a sacred place by the indigenous people due to its healing waters and as a source of water supply. We will then continue downriver and dock to visit the Mayantuyacu indigenous community, where we will meet their shaman to learn about some ancestral rituals.

At 12:30 pm, we will enjoy a traditional lunch prepared by the villagers. After lunch, we will walk along the river banks to discover the reasons behind the boiling waters of the Mayantuyacu River.

Finally, we will return to Puerto Inca, arriving at around 7 pm.
