Lake Yarinacocha Excursion

Embark on an unforgettable adventure at Lake Yarinacocha with this guided journey from Pucallpa. You'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse flora and fauna lining the lake, engage with a community of Indigenous Peoples, and take a refreshing swim at San José Beach.

Lake Yarinacocha Excursion

Your exploration begins at 9 am as we collect you from your Pucallpa hotel and transport you to Puerto Callao, the heart of the Peruvian district of Yarinacocha.

Once we arrive, you will board a boat to commence your tour of Lake Yarinacocha, where the lush shores teem with various species emblematic of the Amazon rainforest. Keeping an eye out, you might spot the playful local dolphins swimming alongside.

After two hours on the water, we'll pause our journey to visit a Shipibo-Konibo Indigenous community. This unique group inhabits the banks of the Ucayali River and continues to uphold their ancestral traditions. During our visit, you'll have the chance to appreciate their exquisite handicrafts, including traditional attire and ceramics.

Post our engagement with the Shipibo-Konibo community, our boat ride will resume, leading us deeper into the essence of Lake Yarinacocha. We have two interesting stops planned: first at the village of Caserío 11 de Agosto (also referred to as Caserío de Cesteros), where local artisans craft products from vegetable fibers like baskets, hats, and fans, and then at the refreshing San José Beach.

Lastly, we will embark on a jungle hike to discover the local plant life and wildlife. Upon completing our nature exploration, we will head back to Puerto Callao, where your bus will be ready to take you back to your hotel in Pucallpa, arriving around 1 pm.
