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.

Upon arrival, we will hike for one hour through the lush Peruvian jungle until we reach the boiling river of Mayantuyacu. Along the way, we'll encounter several sanctuaries promoting ancestral Amazonian medicine.

At our destination, we will observe the vapours rising from the river waters and discuss theories regarding these warm waters that remain a mystery to science.

As we admire the bubbling waters, we’ll learn about the mythological stories of indigenous communities, particularly the Ashaninka, who refer to this river as Shanay Timpishka, created by the enormous serpent Yacumama.

You'll have three hours of free time to have lunch and enjoy this location. We recommend bringing food for the day of the excursion.

We'll conclude the tour at 6 pm, returning you to your hotel.
