Lake Yarinacocha Excursion

We'll pick you up at 9 am at your hotel in Pucallpa and take you to Puerto Callao, the capital of the Peruvian district of Yarinacocha.

From there we'll hop on a boat to start touring Lake Yarinacocha, home to various species of animals and plants of the Amazon rainforest. If we're lucky, we may see local dolphins.

After a two-hour ride, we'll stop to visit a Shipibo-Konibo Indigenous community, preserving their ancestral customs. During the visit, we'll admire their traditional handicrafts, such as garb and ceramics.

After the community visit, we'll continue sailing across Lake Yarinacocha, making two stops: one in the village of Caserío 11 de Agosto (also known as Caserío de Cesteros), where local women create objects with vegetable fibers, and another at the beach of San José.

Finally, we'll hike through the jungle to see the area's plants and animals. After the hike, we'll return to Puerto Callao, where the bus will take you back to your hotel in Pucallpa, arriving at 1 pm.
