Nauta & Amazon River Source Trip

We'll pick you up at 9 am at your hotel in Iquitos, traveling by road to Nauta, located in the Peruvian province of Loreto.

On the way, we'll pass through the wetlands and forests of the Quistococha National Tourist Park, as well as areas with 'chamizales' and 'varillales' vegetation where the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve is located, a great spot for bird watching.

At 10:30 am, we'll arrive in Nauta, a key river port of the Peruvian Amazon. There, we'll tour the city and the Sapi Sapi lagoon, home to the taricaya turtle, crocodiles, and pirarucu fish. Legends suggest mythical creatures inhabit the waters.

Next, we'll have a picnic lunch before taking 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'll reach the village of Grau for views from the Mirador del Amazonas. After enjoying the vistas, we will return by boat to Nauta.

Finally, we'll return by road to Iquitos, with an expected hotel arrival at 5:30 pm.
