Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

We will pick you up at 9 am at your hotel in Iquitos and travel by road to Nauta, located in the Peruvian province of Loreto.

On the way, we will pass through the wetlands and forests of Quistococha National Tourist Park, as well as the 'chamizales' and 'varillales' vegetation areas of the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, known for bird watching opportunities with endemic species.

At 10:30 am, we will arrive in Nauta, one of the main river ports of the Peruvian Amazon. We'll tour the city and the Sapi Sapi lagoon, home to animals like the taricaya turtle, crocodile, and pirarucu fish, along with local legends of mythical creatures.

We will take a break for a picnic lunch before a leisurely ride on the Marañon River in a motorboat to the confluence of the Ucayali River, the source of the Amazon River.

After a two-hour trip, we will arrive at the village of Grau for views from the Mirador del Amazonas. Following the panoramic views, we will return by boat to Nauta.

From Nauta, we will return by road to Iquitos, with an expected arrival at your hotel at 5:30 pm.
