Mayantuyacu River Tour

Can you imagine seeing a jungle full of steam and bubbling water? On this excursion to the boiling river of Mayantuyacu, we'll explore this natural phenomenon that has become a real attraction in Peru.

Mayantuyacu River Tour

Between 6 am and 7 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Pucallpa and drive to Honoria. After a two and a half hour minibus ride, we'll board a boat to take us to a trail leading to the boiling river of Mayantuyacu.

Once there, we'll get off the boat and embark on an hour-long hiking route, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the Peruvian jungle until we reach the boiling river of Mayantuyacu. Along the way, we'll encounter several sanctuaries that promote ancestral Amazonian medicine.

Upon arrival, we'll observe vapours rising from the river waters and discuss the different theories explaining the origin of these warm waters, which remain a mystery to science.

While admiring the bubbling waters, we'll learn about mythological stories of indigenous communities like the Ashaninka people, who refer to this river as Shanay Timpishka, created by an enormous serpent called Yacumama.

You'll have three hours of free time to have lunch and enjoy this place, and we recommend bringing something to eat on the day of the excursion.

We'll finish the excursion at 6 pm, leaving you at your hotel.
