Pacaya Samiria Day Trip

At the designated time, pickup will occur at your hotel in downtown Iquitos or the airport, proceeding to Nauta, a town in Loreto province.

This 1.5-hour journey will lead to the Marañon and Ucayali Rivers. Upon arrival, life jackets will be provided before boarding a boat to navigate the tributary waters.

During the cruise, expect to see sloths in trees and colourful birds above. If fortunate, glimpses of grey and pink dolphins may be possible.

A delicious lunch, featuring the regional dish 'Juane', will be served, consisting of chicken, egg, olive, and specially prepared rice wrapped in a green bijao leaf.

We will then enter Pacaya Samiria National Park, the fourth largest protected area in South America, covering over 20,000 km² (12,400 miles). The park houses approximately 208 villages from 56 indigenous communities relying on its natural resources.

Expect to see lizards, taricayas, and charapas during rainy seasons, while birds, monkeys, and amphibians are visible in warmer months.

After 9 hours of exploration, return to your hotel.
